      He describes the situation as a powderkeg. He’s pretty good at reading the room too. So is his wife, who is a very sharp observer indeed.

        What happened? I’ve been trying to avoid the news.

        I really hope they get out safely

          Too much has happened recently to give a comprehensive thumbnail sketch, but basically the USA is imploding. I’d continue to avoid the news if possible, unless you have friends/family over there.

            Thanks. I would see some but just can’t keep up, the most recent was not allowing trans people to fly? It’s like a gish gallop of fascist bullshit and I can’t even process.

            I’m really sorry and hope your family members make it out safe

            there’s a lot of talk by Trump

            I’m not sure what has actually happened other than hasty job cuts and some foreign policy missteps
