What hope is there for us as a nation? We seem hopelessly fractured! As more and more news comes out about how Russia compromised our election processes, and on the shady cast of characters involved in the Trump election team and their tricky Russian connections — how deeply entrenched many have been in disreputable deeds, money-laundering and spy games — the right-wingers hold ever more closely to their delusions, lies and fake news.

STOP DRINKING THE PUNCH! July 1, 2017 Letter to the Editor
What hope is there for us as a nation? We seem hopelessly fractured! As more and more news comes out about how Russia compromised our election processes, and on the shady cast of characters involved in the Trump election team and their tricky Russian connections — how deeply entrenched many have been in disreputable deeds, money-laundering and spy games — the right-wingers hold ever more closely to their delusions, lies and fake news.
