Hate radio is IT. And it makes me want to SCREAM that Democrats don't seem to get that -

to this very hour.

The Fairness Doctrine, Equal Time provisions, and and the OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS have to be reinstated. HAVE TO BE.

That's one of the first things (if not THE first thing) in my plans in the game I play with myself - "what I'd do if I were President."

I'd sign an executive order bringing those regulations back.

His first mistake was believing the GOP even HAS a soul.

The GOP is a non-starter for me, forever and ever amen, as long as they remain anti-choice.

For me, as a woman who demands nothing less than SOLE CONTROL over MY body, anything less is off the table (as well as out of the room, out of the building, out of town, out of the country, and off the planet, and off wandering somewhere else in outer space).

And by now I'm way too old for it to matter about MY body. I'll never get pregnant again. But I resist on behalf of my daughter, my granddaughter, and everybody else's daughters and granddaughters.

Selfish thoughtless fuck.

Hey, spread it around to everybody you work with, idiot.

The only thing worse is trying to wrap one's brain around the idea of actually voting for a stupid jerk like this. What does that say about his constituents that they see fit to keep sending this know-nothing back to Congress? WHY does anybody vote for cretins like him? Because babykillers or something?

Look at all that empty space above his eyebrows.

And he's bald, too.

Dear God, how can one be a doctor and not endorse wearing masks?

Another Dr. Hydroxychloroquack?

Is it wrong that I'm smiling?

And Rand Paul, too? OMG - I'm (almost) sorry to say this, but that's the best news I've heard so far today.

With ignorant jerk gasbags like Louie Gohmert and Rand Paul, I DO NOT hope it kills them. I hope they get horribly sick, but recover, and emerge after having had some sort of redemption moment or moment of awakening, where they're forced to rethink some of their idiot "ideas" and "policy" positions, and their life in the bubble world. I hope it wakes them the fuck up. One can hope, at least.

Sometimes important lessons have to be learned the hard way.

She stood with invertebrates like Susan Collins who blather on all day about their "concern"

and it means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

That and a dime will get you a few minutes on a parking meter.

Nice you've come to your senses, Mona. YOU HELPED BUILD THIS.

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.
