Props to all you strugglers out there just now starting your tax return.
Last minute isn't late.
@jawarajabbi @georgetakei Well, I am a fan of PotUS #JimmyCarter (#Global2000) and a #Trekkie. I grew up in the belief that mankind could make great achievements in a collaborative manner, like a federation according to #GeneRoddenberry's utopy. I am agnostic. I can't say whether "all is lost". I hope, it's not the case. But I am much in favor that #Europe with #France, #UK,#Poland and #Germany gets well prepared to withstand the pressing sandwich situation between #Trump's #US and #Russia.
