The turtle probably has more skeletons in his closet than an anatomy professor. 
I do, too.
McConnell is pure, unrefined, straight up evil. He knows exactly WHAT he is doing and WHY he is doing it. He's no more senile than a kindergartener and as wily as an old fox. Every move he makes is carefully planned and calculated to produce maximum benefif to HIM.
Former guy will never be a member of the "Former Presidents Club."
Not only did he lose what I hope and pray will be his only chance to be elected to serve another term, he has trashed any possibility of ever being welcomed into that exclusive group OR receiving any of the public respect usually extended to even shitty former presidents. He will never get any respect from anyone except his cult members. And he has absolutely no one to blame but himself. What a colossal, pathetic failure he is, even though his various personality disorders will never allow him to acknowledge it.
How can people be so irresponsible, indeed.
And yet we know that are many, many gun owners (a lot of them parents) who don't keep their firearms safely locked up. We are reminded of this every time a small child gets hold of a gun and ends up shooting themselves or someone else. We are also reminded of this when an older child brings a gun to school, as in this case. A gun that a parent or other adult in the household was not storing properly. It's tragic, and it's outrageous. 
Great article!
Thanks for the link! 
Smd @ all the employers who are so deeply offended and shocked -- shocked, I tell you! -- that people don't want to put up with their shitty treatment and crappy working conditions in return fof the "privilege" of getting paid starvation wages. What's this world coming to?
"It's time to move on."
""But it's time to move on, it's time for this country to heal, it's time for a spirit of forgiveness to be happening,"
Translation: "It's time for all y'all to forgive us for trying to overthrow the federal government and forget that we tried to overturn the results of a free and fair election. Because WE want to move on."
Sorry, not happening. If you want to see a spirit of forgiveness, you need io confess that you did a very bad thing. Offer your deep and profound apologies. And then you need to get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness.
Even then, most of us probably won't forgive you, and NONE of us will ever forget. But you should do that anyway, because confession is good for the soul, and-- wait, you don't have a soul, do you? You sold that to Donald Trump back in 2016 whe you made him your party's candidate for president. Looks like you're screwed, doesn't it?
So much for forgiveness. Please accept this tiny violin and enjoy the sad song it's playing for you.
I think this is worth knowing about, for purely pragmatic reasons.
No, I don't have any sympathy for him. Absolutely not. But as long as he's still alive and not behind bars, he's a danger to our democracy and a mortal enemy of our government. It's always wise to stay apprised of the status of one's enemies.
It sounds like this enemy is in a weakened condition at the moment, but that could change at any time. Imo, we cannot afford to let our guard down for a single moment.
Yes, after that, she even got pregnant one more time!
She lost the pregnancy, I think around 4 or 5 months, no doubt because she was so damned old that trying to bear another child was bananacrackers. But even that's not all.....
They had a huge "memorial service" at their church for the kid (a girl they named Jubilee Shalom) that was the centerpiece of an episode of the show. Church packed full of people, lots of praying and weeping. It was.... bizarre.
No more pregnancies after that. I guess Mother Menopause finally stepped in and said, "Enough already!" 
*Disclaimer: I used to watch that show every now and then, because I found it entertaining, in a "Can you believe this freak show?" kind of way. Just happened to be "lucky" enough to catch the Jubilee memorial service episode.
