Awwwwwwwww, such a lovely tribute!

I love how your mom was described, especially when she "decided on Dec. 25, 2020, that her work on Earth was done and that it was time to join her parted family in heaven for a spectacular Christmas celebration."

And I bet it WAS a spectacular Christmas celebration Upstairs.

((( Drunken Irishman ))) (I think that denotes hugs)

This should happen more often. MUCH more often.

Because Republicans DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU!

One of our writers in our Research & Writing team used that as the headline of her ask, this weekend.

It's a worthy talking point, and it has the added advantage of being TRUE! Republicans Don't Want To Help You. (They only want to help themselves - to YOUR money, mainly.)

Fourth!

Heard a woman on MSNBC this morning referring to him as an unruly toddler.

Which, IMO, is an insult to all unruly toddlers. At least THEY have an excuse. A purportedly full-grown male senior citizen doesn't have such an excuse, and flatly does NOT deserve one.

Welcome to DU, HUAJIAO!

It's a shame, isn't it? When you start trying to wrap your brain around the idea that some people can't be helped - because they WON'T be helped. They won't even accept the premise that they need help and that help is readily available to them.

What's that wise and golden challenge that anonymous programs always pose? "First you have to admit you have a problem."

And THIS, TOO!

I'm sick of these fucking morons, too, malaise.

HAD IT with them. Let THEM get sick, then. Maybe that's the only way they'll learn: the hard way. And if they get so sick that they die? All I can say at that point is - "one less trump voter."



And, gotta admit, I hate it that I've come to feel this way. I really do. But at some point, when you've got a group of people who simply WON'T face facts, or accept objective truth over partisan spin, then for me it's a case of "throw up yer hands and give up on 'em." You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. In this case, it starts to become an exercise in futility to try to lead a horse's ASS to water...

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
