We’ll pass 15 million cases of Trump Virus in the US today. And pass 300,000 deaths next week. Trump should spend the rest of his life in prison.

I truly do not care how much you dislike this woman, she should’ve been POTUS the last 4 years. The damage that Trump has done to this country is incalculable. It’s literally incalculable. https://t.co/d1Ci0sz5kn

Yes to the Biggest Lesson!
This year has taught me to both be more giving and more selfish. I have grown closer to people who give back and said goodbye without regrets to people who don’t know how to give at all.
I want to clarify this. I am referring to people in my personal life who are “takers”, not charitable giving to people in need. Charitable giving is needed now more than ever.
I have really limited the number of people that can access me. I’m so worn out from 4 years of mean and selfish that I just walk off now if any one starts in on it.
I’m reminded of the Dalai Lama’s use of the phrase “wisely selfish” — to care for one’s own health, peace of mind, and comfort (as contrasted with being greedy and hoarding). This is what we need to be.
Wise words from all of the above.
Let’s hope it doesn’t mutate after being exposed to Ghouliani.
On some level, respect if it does. He’s so toxic hard to imagine how it could survive long enough to mutate.
But then again, there are bacteria that live somewhere in the works of nuclear reactors, so I guess anything is possible.
