Mike, I will miss your voice, but rest and relax and get ready for what we all think will be The Blue Wave! How you used the word "belch" was delightful! With the reflecting pool BELCHING up the blue paint, it became symbolic of so many things that need to be belched up and thrown into outer space as soon as this circus is over!
Spain is often spoken of as the possible winner of this year's World Cup playoffs, so perhaps you'll be able to see more sports emotion from fans over there.
Meanwhile, owner Dolan has received an invitation to bring the Knicks to the WH.....but will they go?? Just say NO!
I know it will be such a great relief to be among Europeans and not to have to think about the clusterfuck that is American politics. Enjoy it all!
Happy Juneteenth to everyone! Enjoy your well-deserved time off, Michelangelo! I was also touched and inspired by yesterday's speeches by Michelle and Barack Obama at his Presidential Center. DJT is the backlash to the eight years of the Obama/Biden administration. That deep and irrational racism ultimately led to the Drumpf/Pence and Drumpf/Vance administrations. Pence did the right thing in the end. Neither DJT and JDV, nor their wives, could ever compete with the Obamas and the Bidens in dignity, class, grace, professionalism, knowledge, or service to this nation.
You are so right, Sakina. Drump and his escort wife exemplify trash with money. They will never compare to the intelligence, education and class of the Obamas. They have 2 beautiful daughters, whereas, Drump has spawned despicable grifters, just like dad. I fear the midterms will be tinkered with. Between gerrymandering, mail-in ballot tampering et al, it will be a challenge for Dems to win, but we must. We need relief from the destruction of our seat of government, our rule of law, and our current place in the world.
Amen, Donnab! Like Mike often says, we have to be ready for the midterms. Everyone who can vote early, please do! Drop boxes are also quicker than the U.S. mail.
True, Sakina. We must remain vigilant. I vote by mail and bring my completed ballot to the supervisor of elections office. I don't trust the mail in this red state. DeSatan has gerrymandered FL so that only a couple of tiny districts are blue. Basically, the whole state is red now. :-(
Have a great trip, Michelangelo. How refreshing that a former Catholic and monarchist country like Spain is more progressive on LGBTQ+ rights than the US. I will be watching my Substack to hear your reports. Let us know if General Franco is really dead. :)
I'm looking forward to the day when the federal government is back to normal and we can concentrate more on the messed up policies coming from state & local governments.
Enjoy your journey! Curious to hear how people in the real world view us here in this bizarre fantasy land that is now the USA. We can't wake up from this nightmare soon enough.
A few weeks in Madrid and Spain gave my husband and me the chance to breathe a littler easier, unclench a bit, and purge some orange residue. A few excursions through Mercado de San Miguel for oysters and Gildas and couple of feasts at Sichuan Kitchen in El Centro helped a lot. Enjoy.
No, people have already forgotten what normal is. We need to find a new concept of humanity in order to shun the evil livestock in the world! If people aren’t punished for their behavior, then there’s no hope left! 🤷♀️
A few years after the orange assclown kicks the bucket, MAGA will be under a new name. Just like 15+ years ago when it use to be called the Tea Party. Oh, and just like the Tea Party, they will all have collective amnesia by never mentioning the prior disastrous GOPer administration.
Have a wonderful time my friend, it's a great time to be away from the mishegash here in the US!

It’s going to take a lot of work Jeff.
The world maybe. The U.S. doubtful.
Enjoy Madrid and Paris, two of my favorite cities! Color me envious.
I think you will have a great time. You will be with normal people.
ha true
Enjoy your journey! Curious to hear how people in the real world view us here in this bizarre fantasy land that is now the USA. We can't wake up from this nightmare soon enough.
So I’m looking forward to the FALL!

What a nice story, and thank you!

The voters and nonvoters choose what is normal by popular vote and not voting.
Have a wonderful vacation Michelangelo, you earned this well deserved break!
