I woke up this morning to see that I had posted something last night an hour after I went to bed. No memory of it and I was sober, lol! I do remember being very upset over the Kavanaugh debacle.

Is there such a thing as sleep posting??

A monarchy can be a republic. There's the Islamic Republic of Iran. And the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Remember Saddam's Elite Republican Guard?

But a democratic republic? (Gasp!)
