Diary Saturday 28th January 2017

Preston, England
January 29, 2017 7:08am CST
I decided to get some shopping in and headed for a supermarket near the Preston North End football stadium, being careful to go mid-match to avoid crowded buses full of fans going to and from the game. Online I ordered my own spare copy of Orwell's 1984 for my public reading project to help protest against Donald Trump's increasing extremism. I also ordered an 'Impeach Trump' tee shirt which I look forward to wearing. I did some online writing and prepared some material for tomorrow's creative writing workshop as I'm running it this time. I hope lots of writers attend. Arthur Chappell

So far Trump has done nothing that can make the Congress thinks about impeaching him. The best alternative is for him to have a heart attack, and vacate office due to ill health. That will be a saving grace, else the poor and middle class Americans will suffer greatly in the next 4 years. It will take many more years to undo all the harm that he has inflicted.

@scheng1 yes the level of damage is spectacular given that he has only been there 9 days

Yeah, you definitely don't want to be on a bus packed with rowdy football fans!

Well enjoy your creative writing workshop and keep on haggling Trump. I hate what is happening in my homeland.

I have never read 1984. I've seen the film though. Maybe now is the perfect time to settle down and read it.

I pray every day he will be impeached. Was happy to see the government came down and said no to his hateful actions yesterday. I love the book and its scary the orange idiot is so like the book.

Sounds like you're keeping pretty occupied which is good.
