When ur a liberal living in the middle of the Trump cult, one of ur greatest pleasures in life is running into another liberal in the supermarket & standing there along a busy aisleway for 20 minutes loudly talking politics. The looks/stares you get are priceless. I got to do that today. It was fun.

I think it might be getting near the time for Trump to consider dipping into the underground storage caverns of the U.S. Strategic Egg Reserve.

I think it's time for me to order a roll of these. I peeled so many of those Biden "I Did That" stickers off gas pumps when Trumpers were putting them all over. What was it our mothers always told us? "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."

I love going thru the archives of our local paper. This morning I ran across this little ad from 1983. I imagine the local Nazarenes had a lot of deep & interesting insights at that event concerning the ill effects of "ROCK-N-ROLL". Betting they didn't like it very much, and probably still don't.

My dad died back on July 20. I sat with him as he took his last breath. I've had moments of grief over the intervening months, but for some reason I'm having a really hard time tonight. Memories & emotions are washing over me in stifling & smothering waves. I know this is normal, but it's still hard

And I'm supposed to find common ground w/the sick motherfuckers who push this shit? No fucking way. I hope MAGA suffers. I want them to suffer. Sadly, thousands of innocent people will also suffer. Elections matter. Please understand this very simple fact. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

And we just keep rolling along, like this is nothing more than a natural and normal part of the human experience. Our national cowardice on even discussing this issue is sickening.

😀 Can't tell you how many times this has happened to me.

Maybe someday we as a country will have a true & honest reckoning about ourselves. Probably not, but I can hope. In the meantime, there are still people urging us to take off the rose colored glasses which feed those deeply ingrained attitudes of our "exceptionalism". www.popehat.com/p/some-other...

Fair summarization of my frustrations w/Dem Party, & their complete lack of understanding abt how to message in a Trump dominated world. Those of us who living in the middle of Trump-world, 24-7, want to gouge our eyes out at the fact they never seem to learn. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/being...

"This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time." -- Churchill
