My brother lives in Knoxville; told him we were traveling to NYC to protest Trump. Not really to protest the orange bloated asshole but to see our son who lives in the Big Apple.

(6,477 posts)But greed and bigotry have a respected home in Tennessee. Now thanks to the rethugs and their supermajority, they can remove the government that says equality and replace it with the oligarchy that we now have in other red states. And, they want this for the world. There is no better reason to never, ever vote for a rethug again after this debacle. But, as Alfred Pennyworth once noted, "Some people just want to watch the world burn."
