Department of Wishful Thinking

Nick Thompson

Dear All,

 

I went looking for possible sources of cheer today and found them in 3 quite different places.

 

The first argues that trump is shaping anew left of center consensus.

The second Is a an indication that there are still a few adults in the white house.

The third is just wonderfully silly.  Follow the twitter feed for maximum lift.

Oh, Lordy, do I need “silly” right now!

 

Nick

Silly you say! I agree and I for one don't like this weird adult stuff. It seems make you all grumbly and sulkyface . I don't hide prefering to laugh and be a silly lighthearted goofball.  For some silly  like I said on one of my twiiter acounts:
What green idea. This might help get the goofy started.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This still makes me laugh. <a href="https://t.co/EM2d06Dz44">https://t.co/EM2d06Dz44</a></p>&mdash; George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) <a href="https://twitter.com/GeorgeTakei/status/892166490228748288">July 31, 2017</a></blockquote>

Mrs Hucklebee Sanders being razed on TV...for wearing a giant greenscreen test sign.


Just plain awsome  yet silly:

GeeorgTekai/Sulu's twitter and facebook is full of funsies 
Other than a fun charector on OG StarTrek he's gone on to poke fun in awsome ways at some reely weird stuff  that dun make sense.

As to 45...well that's definatly NOT cheer. Though a silver lining is that around the 10th or so the white house quietly agreed 45 is not just what gamers call a troll but bonkers and are happily queitly taking over his job. Like Rep. Kamilla Harris (california) put it: That irtating set of rules we like to call the amendments, by laws, and commen sense. so As of around the 10th or so 45 has had some/many of his official powers taken away. The strange and hillarius thing? he has yet to notice....somehow...that'snot less said about 45. It's a iritating depressing subject. The sooner we move passed this weirdness the better.

On a MUCH more awsome and cheerier note my Tweet to whitehouse may still be around and I was just being me and iritated with the weird place polotics is in. I found some of FDR's (famous and awsome one)  his fireside style chats and pretty cool and uplifting talks especially when you lisent to them over fanfare to the common man.

and in what ever space Twitter aloud send shortend Urls to  the WhiteHouse (or likely staff )  just saying well I'll show an example it might cheer you up ^_^

For example:
@WH
"...to boldly go.."



Hope that helps cheer you up Nick!
