Well said. You nailed it in 2016!

So well said and here we are again.

I want to vote for an ethicist for President.

Wouldn’t that be nice? Oh, wait…pretty sure we had that chance with Kamala.

Spot on!

"He cannot be president. Even in the most alternative of universes (alt-uni), Donald Trump cannot be president." And yet here he is. Not just once but twice.

There must be an alternate-alternate-universe...

Apparently. My guess is you have to be a lunatic to enter. I'm fine being on the outside. 😏

You were spot ON, girl! Ramona for President 2028!

Ramona Grigg's avatar

Oh, honey that'll never happen. I'll be 91 by then! You know how they feel about us ancients...

Elizabeth Beggins's avatar

Oh, yes. And A BOOK! Huzzah!

I'm working to make that happen, though it's going to be far more work than I originally thought. I've hired someone to help with formatting but I think I'm going to need someone with book editing skills to help me make decisions about content and style.

So much work. 😬

There are a number of them here, as I'm sure you're aware. I also appreciate the advice and resources here, in case you want to poke around.

Thanks. I do subscribe to Jane's page. I would love to hire someone from here at Substack. I'm open to any queries or suggestions.

We do seem to have entered the alt-uni, eh?

Yay book, my friend! Can’t wait.

And now he’s doing everything he wanted to do the first time around and no one is yet effectively stopping him and his co-president. So far I feel like the actions taken in the courts are like trying to plug up the dike with a finger.

It's not enough. As usual.

The problem, at base, is one that we will (may?) never solve. It is race. Get rid of them, no matter how you have to. Leave the basketball players, but give us freeways to fly over their ghettos, police to imprison/kill them, all-white towns like the one I live in (our population is growing despite a dead economy,) and don't ever do them any favors. Immigrants too, because they're different and don't participate in country and western music festivals.

Look forward to reading your book when it's finished, Ramona. Here's hoping you find the perfect editor/mentor, although you're such a wonderful writer I think you're already there.

Good Morning Ramona!

I am an arc in the Women's Circle this weekend and was perusing the work of the other strong, fabulous characters Elizabeth has chosen.

I voted for her too.

See you Saturday!
