He said he saw a video of her. And swore he saw her move -- and, I think, smile at him and wave, or something.

"Awful" is the least of him.

I wish he were in prison, but I'd settle for finding out he's been intubated in an ICU because of covid-19. And that his stock portfolio was mismanaged and emptied by a corrupt financial manager. And that he inadvertently let his insurance lapse the day before his house burned down. And that Bryan, Harrison, and Jonathan bear his name but not his genes. And that Tracy has a thing for her horse trainer.

I'm kidding. Actually, I wish he were in prison . . . and all of those other things.

Nor is the exuberance and drive to make change happen.

Perpetuating a toxic stereotype of judging seniors by their cover minimizes their value and their humanity and I can’t ignore that in this thread any more than I can ignore racism or anti-semitism. The asses in that photo are also all male, all white and probably all Christian.

Most importantly, they are all Republicans, villains who are pillaging our democracy. That’s why they’re ugly, not because they’re old.

“We” have plenty to be proud of, and now’s the time for *all of us* to rise up together and fix this, with strong messaging and bold ideas and actions, regardless of our age. (I do love me some AOC, though! )

Not. Empty, meaningless, objective, arbitrary, so many labels for such few words I wrote. Such wisdom? I will change, I promise you have convinced me. I will never use new blood again. Please accept my apologies and i beg your wise forgiveness?

I'm gleaning another tumultuous past week through past headlines, it's been one hell of a week at our hospital, and obviously outside of it. I have to backtrack through the news headlines to catch up on my first day off (friday)
And once again I'm fucking

Jeebus dirty diaper what an asinine set of calamities under inept and civil war inciting leadership.
Don't look at this if you don't want to cry about how relatively sane things were before all this shitgibbon excrement.

The real ones are the corporatists, the Kochs, Thiels, Mercers, Murdochs and lots of others, both here in the US but usually transnational.

The real ones are paying their toadies in congress, K Street, 1600 PA Ave., probably most major media outlets.

The real ones get at least a 1,000% return on their investments when they pay off those that are supposed to represent the people.
