Trump Shat on America—and Who Cared? It almost beggars the imagination. One wonders how anyone professing to be a leader, let alone the president of the United States, would post a video like the one Trump posted over No Kings Day wee…

There’s no bottom too low for this president. frahmannthoughts.wordpress.com/2025/10/21/t...

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

NOT SO BEAUTIFUL . . . BUT PRETTY DAMN UGLY No surprise. The House has passed Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. I have to agree that it’s big . . . a big slap against America. While beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, it’s hard to imagine ho…

Just in time for the 4th. More disastrous political news. frahmannthoughts.wordpress.com/2025/07/03/n...

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism.

When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless.

Understand what's going on.

Pretty simple rule of thumb when wondering why the Trump administration does anything is to ask two questions:

1) is it racist?

Or

2) are they stupid?

Tends to cover most Trump administration stuff.

Great news.

The MAGA heartland is really going to feel the pain. Maybe that’s what it takes to face reality.

Do You Hear the People Sing? It’s time to join the chorus. Time to speak out as an American and say, “Enough is enough!” According to the research of professor Erica Chenoweth at Harvard, historically, no government can withst…

As depressing as politics is, we must remember that there is power in our voices.

What next? Invite Putin to live in the White House?

Surviving to Another Day I have decided to take inspiration from a pastel portrait of my maternal grandmother. It—and the woman it portrays—went through a lot since an itinerant artist created it in Finland sometime in fir…

I’ve decided if my grandmother’s portrait has managed to survive for more than a century, I can hang on for four more years. It’s remarkable story. frahmannthoughts.wordpress.com/2025/02/13/s...

What is the difference between Susan Collins and a MAGA extremist? Nothing. She has no integrity.

When Trump said he would lower prices he meant stock prices, actually.

Sounds like a plan to me

End of An Era? Or Just the Same Old Thing? In a few months, I’ll turn 72. At the end of this month, flags will no longer be at half staff to honor Jimmy Carter’s passing. And in a few days, I will be part of the Resistance. What’s binding a…

Feeling like this is my last weekend living in the US as I knew it. frahmannthoughts.wordpress.com/2025/01/18/e...

Welcome to the oligarchy!

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

Just visited them to see the baby pups

I’m hoping I get more than coal in my stocking tonight.

It’s not even Jan 20th yet and Trump is already threatening war with a Central American country.

Getting in the holiday spirit.

It’s a Bizarro World I’ve tried to ignore the news. I’ve wanted to go into what Russians called “internal exile.” This is when you can’t leave the country, but you can at least step out of the public madness. But I fin…

Surely the Statue of Liberty is weeping these days. frahmannthoughts.wordpress.com/2024/12/13/i...

I am so disappointed in Republicans’ kowtowing to god-awful nominations. Someday they will face the judgment of their cowardice.

Luxuriating in my Trump Detachment Syndrome. Looking for rainbows in life. And wondering whether I could possibly stand attending the 50th class reunion of the 1975 Columbia School of Journalism now that I’ve abandoned news.

I for one am happy Biden pardoned his son. The moon will still rise. The sun will still shine. And Trump will still do far more horrible things.

Blue sky with rainbow. Looking for possibilities.

Sometimes You Have to Forget It’s really important to forget. Without the ability to focus and recall what you deem important, your life would be awash in so many details that you just might go mad. That’s the great ability of…

And I really need to forget. frahmannthoughts.wordpress.com/2024/11/25/s...

My first post. Trying it out.
