And Eric Prince on the Advisory Board?! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!

Run and hide, Eric! Run and hide!

Maybe your no-good public-school-killer sister Betsy DeVos can help you hide out.

Or maybe you'll have to hide out in the Seychelles or some out-of-the-way place far across the globe because the minute you set food on US soil, they're gonna arrest your ass?

There's a lilt in my step this morning!

I haven't awakened giggling with joy like this since my honeymoon!

BIG virtual hugs from me.

I go through that with my best friend all the time.

I wrestle with telling her I don't want to be friends with her anymore. She doesn't want to talk about trump now, and thinks he's a fool. But she has no regrets about having voted for him. Or none that she's admitted to.

I remember one phone conversation, telling her my conscience was clear - having voted for Hillary. She said "mine is, too." Uh-huh. I guess you need to keep telling yourself that, because you voted for fucking trump!

She's unreachable at this point, but at least she SAYS she'll not be voting for the donald again. Now she's eyeing whoever the Libertarian is. WTF is so horrible about Joe Biden, girlfriend?????

There's been a lot of that. Everybody in my Indivisible group has gotten choked up.

Including me. Pretty much every night this week.

Welcome to DU, grobertj!

It's been very well-done.

A few little glitches - kinda like you see on TV all the time now, anyway.

But really terrific, all told.

That roll call Tuesday night was WUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNderful!

There's a lot of that going around.

Every day this week, so far, I've gotten teary-eyed. Tonight included.

Welcome to DU, Bobstandard!

Didn't seem like vitriol to me, so much as hard uncomfortable truth. And warnings, to those of us willing to listen - and to respond accordingly.

He knows what the score is. He just wants the rest of us to know it, too.

Evidently he was screaming his lungs out -

Tweeting in all caps.

What-EVVVVERRRRRR...

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.
