It’s so true. SOOOO True.
So scary but it’s not over till it’s over. Resist.
RESIST! Absolutely. Can I do it laying down? LOLOL I think I’ll make a poster for RBG and put it on my front door. ❤ Love and hugs to sweet Tide. Hope he's holding his own. ❤
Poster sounds good. Probably be ripped off like our masks. ❤️Tide is barely holding his own. I’m helping him hold his own. He has to go out to pee every hour on the hour. He has Cushing’s disease but he’s not suffering and still loves being with us. ❤️Woofs back.
Oh, Holly. I’m so sorry to hear that. Love and hugs to all of you. As long as he’s happy, that’s what matters.
Yes. Sadly.
I agree and we should be able to do something about that, but I don’t know what, since there are no longer any laws or rules that cannot be broken.
I agree!
The cartoon is awesome!
Agree…awesome. Looking forward to your post…to be cheered up.
I’ll take that vaccine against hyprocrisy.
If only. If only. We need a shot to give TO the hypocrites, to stop them from destroying eveyrhing.
Absolutely! We should reinstitute spankings for naughty government. We used to do that with votes, but that’s getting weird too. 😬
The last few elections were fixed…I don’t think this one will e any different.
It is going to be a food fight in the Washington chow hall, no doubt.
No doubt at all. I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch it. Animal House on steroids, but without the fun.
I like your description. I’m sure the mainstream media and secondary social media won’t let us miss a thing unless we disconnect completely for a while.
Cartoon and quote are both top. RIP judge Ruth
Sigh. I miss her so much already. What a huge loss for our country. HUGE.
Reblogged this on The Reluctant Poet.
Thank you so much. The blogger who originally posted it is THE ART OF QUOTATION and it’s a wonderful blog. Thank you again.
The Senate refused to vote on Obama’s nominees for 6 months before the election. Bunch of crooks.
That’s the truth. They told him it was illegal. These people are the lowest form of human being around. And no one is stopping them.
The wolves are coming out of the woods. Or should I say the coyotes?
Monsters, AKA conservatives, more like it. The first debate is starting but I’m not watching it. I won’t be able to sleep.
I watched it. To the end. Sickening. The man showed his true colours, a liar, a crook, respects no rules. Including Rules of order which I learnt in the Student Senate. Kept interrupting, lie after lie.
Biden kept his cool. Talked to the American people. That was good. And the moderator was fantastic. We’ll see how things evolve.
Take care my friend.
I couldn’t watch. It’s literally making me sick. I saw a trump sign in my neighborhood and couldn’t believe it. I only saw one for each candidate and that’s unusual. I think people are afraid to let others know which side they’re on. There has been vandalism, with people tearing up the signs of those they don’t like. Sigh. People are so very, very, angry.
That has made the French news, can you believe it? Stealing or tearing the signs people used to put on the windows or on the lawn. That anger is building up. And may explode. I hope not.
At any rate, the campaign has taken an unexpected turn… (Haha!) 😷
Well, things have certainly changed with trump having the virus and going to the hospital. He’s had the highest dose of an experimental drug, has a fever, fatigued, etc., but they are trying to play it as if he’s just going to the hospital just “in case,” but no one believes it.
Yeah. In French we say “mon oeuil”. (My eye) The English say “my foot”. Americans say…
😉
But he’s “working” from the hospital.🤣🤣🤣
He doesn’t really work. He plays golf, fires people and is a monster. I don’t know what he does as far as work goes.
It’s been well documented. He spends his “work” day watching Fox news, tweeting like crazy. He doesn’t read any report longer than one page (and even that, well…).
But the official comments are a joke. “He will keep working from the hospital”. Haha!
Everything about him is a joke. HE’S the biggest joke of all. Pathetic but dangerous and it’s not over.
😩😩😩
He’s so insane. Getting away with PREMEDITATED MURDER, by spreading a killer virus disease.
Interesting insight into human nature isn’t it? The roguer he acts the more support he gets…
Well, from racists, proud boys, and the people who hate. The conservatives, right wingers who are terrified of any change or FREEDOM. YES. THOSE ARE HIS SUPPORTERS. ALL THE SICK PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE WHO HATE, ARE RELIGIOUS AND TERRIFIED OF EVERYTHING.
Freedom is the key word. Freedom bothers so many people. The “proposed” new Justice has had what? 6? 7 kids? Can’t remember. Okay. Her choice. Why should she bar other women’s choices and reverse Roe vs. Wade? (I think she has claimed her opposition) Nobody tells her she’s crazy to have so many kids. So, can she mind her own business?
Conservatives/right wing people are terrified of not controlling everyone and everything. Their brains have been shown on MRI’s to have much larger fear centers than liberals. They are filled with rage and hate and want to make sure that they control everyone else, when no one else really cares about what they want or do in their OWN LIVES. They are simply horrible and hateful, never caring about the women and children they want to control. They cut child care programs, that feed kids, don’t care if women die from back alley abortions, because THE CONSERVATIVE, RIGHT WING WOMEN, HAVE ABORTIONS whenever they like. They have the money to be safe. They don’t care about poor women who do not. It’s a truly horrific and HATEFUL (use that word a lot) situation.
Control is the word. Strangely enough, two of the most important things I learned (learnt?) in Grad school were “submission to authority” and the sources of power. But maybe we already talked about that?
Having said that, don’t give those jerks the benefit of your attention. Have a nice week-end, Gigi.
I NEVER have submitted to authority. Even as a little kid. LOLOL My poor mother. Sigh. My motto has been QUESTION AUTHORITY. No one is ever better than anyone else or needs to be bowed to. Screw that. A lot of nobodies, like our president, power over others. That’s what the radical right/conservatives are all about. Their brains are locked in fear. Shows on the MRIs. Scaredy cats who are afraid of anarchy. Actually, that’s what they called us when we were arrested for drawing on the sidewalk with chalk about pro choice…anarchists. Proud to be one if it means being as free as possible from the republicans and religious right. OMG
I’ll second the motion. Look up Stanley Milgram if you don’t already. know about his work.
Freedom!
I will look him up. Thank you.
Here’s a link. about a quarter of an hour. Worth it:
i don’t even kno what to say anymore. RBG is already sorely missed and will be replaced by that tool with another tool. Everything is upside down, the world has gone mad and I just want to sleep.
She is a HUGE loss. Huge. And the right wing woman they want to put in her place is just too terrible to think about.
