All signs indicate that the Trump era is in decline.

Washington D.C. is shutting down because of his decisions and it's in full view. The East Wing has been bulldozed. The lawn looks like it's a practice field for a Demotion Derby. The Kennedy Center is curtained. The Reflection pond is fenced in. Every attempt that Trump takes to leave his personal touch turns to shit.

Take your pictures now because the future will not take our word for it.

we don't need to be "great"; we just need to be sane, reasonable, and trustworthy. I'm so sick of the word "great". Going around talking about our self-proclaimed greatness was the beginning of our downfall.

With no long term goals met. Trump spends money on 20th century valuations making sure we're behind by 2028 and beyond.

Instead, it made me cry because it was clearly viewed pre 47 demolition derby. Even the Rose Garden was thriving!

Creep.

11. The Trump era may indeed be in decline, but we won't really know for sure until a few years from now when we can look

at this historical moment in hindsight.

Even if it is in decline, a lot of very bad things can still happen until the bitter end. In the summer of 1943, it was clear that Nazi Germany was in decline, but it took almost another 2 years before the fall of the Third Reich. And those last 2 years saw the worst of the Nazi killings and atrocities.

So let's not celebrate just yet. We still have a tremendous amount of work to do and a long way to go.

Justice matters.
