Never doubt that your vote matters! Happy Inauguration Day!

GOOD MORNING!

HAPPY INAUGURATION DAY!

Today is the day that the sociopathic, treasonous, traitor fascist leaves office!  By hook or by crook, the clear and present danger will be out of there by high noon.

I want to say something to all my buds:  don't ever, ever, ever think, let alone say, that your vote doesn't matter.  We just saved our country.  We saved our democracy.  It just went through a four-year, as the Rolling Stones might phrase it, "cross-fire hurricane", combined with a major earthquake.  Buildings fell.  But the foundation held.  THIS COUNTRY IS GREAT!

We all just went through a four-year, firsthand course on the awesome strengths of our constitution and our laws, and also we learned where we need some shoring up.  We have a lot of work and a lot of healing to do as a country, and not just from the last four years, but from a lot of what was already there, that they exposed.

Today, though, is a day of celebration and thanksgiving.  We've had four years of nothing short of evil in the White House.  It departs at noon, and the perfect antidote is moving in:  Joseph R. Biden, a man of deep empathy, authenticity, love for our country and our people, wisdom, experience and ability.  And we have Kamala Harris, too, a bright star, shining her light into the mix.  If we can make it to noon today, we're going to be okay.  And do you know why?  It's because you and I voted.  That's why.  Never, ever forget how profoundly much your vote matters.  45 was so scared of it that he literally took mailboxes out of the ground and sorting machines out of the post offices.  But you and I voted anyway.  And we accomplished nothing short of saving our country.

Elizabeth Willing Powel asked Benjamin Franklin, upon his emergence from the constitutional convention in 1787, "What do we have, a republic or a monarchy?"

Franklin replied:  "A republic, if you can keep it."

It's up to us.  We sure came through a terrible storm this time.  Today is a day of thanksgiving.
