Have you regretted saying something or missing an opportunity to help a friend or loved one?
I have. And, lately, I've been mentally revisiting my past failures, thinking about how I can make amends, much like a repentant alcoholic does through Alcoholics Anonymous' Twelve Steps Program.
Unfortunately, many of the people I’d like to talk with have passed. So, in this world anyway, I have no way to correct my past failings.
However, today, I can be the person that I wasn’t in the past. Today, I can do the right things I neglected to do in the past. I can say the right things and not say the dumb ones again.
So, with that thought in mind, a couple of years from now I know I'll be thinking, "Why didn't I do more to stop Trump before he metastasized into the cancer that destroyed Democracy?”
Fortunately, I’m not the only one noticing what Mr. Trump is turning into. Anderson Cooper has noticed, too, and that burden is not mine alone to shoulder.
And, this, about gaslighting, i.e. misleading and misdirecting, by discrediting what we hear them say and what we see them do. This is only one of the tactics that Trump, his son-in-law, and other Trumpists have mastered.It's "like pulling teeth" to get the White House to focus on Russian election interference, an official says— CNN (@CNN) April 25, 2019

On Trump's adviser and son-in-law - Jared Kushner - labeling the Mueller report "a big distraction," and suggesting that the extent of Russian interference in the election was just the buying of "some Facebook ads," @AndersonCooper is #KeepingThemHonest.https://t.co/OI8qVhaQsY pic.twitter.com/U8nJPKrjS0— Anderson Cooper 360° (@AC360) April 24, 2019
