I know it's early, but I am considering a New Year's resolution; several actually.

I start by resolving to TRY to keep in mind that I have more in common with my least favorite DUers than with any Republican.

I resolve to remember that there are no 2020 Trump voters who I will ever trust.

I resolve to take advantage of any nonviolent opportunity to help end the career of any Congressional Republican who supported the transparently stupid Texas plea for the SCOTUS to anoint Trump our ruler.

I resolve that I will not let public displays of racism, misogyny, homophobia or just plain old garden-variety RWNJ cruelty go without condemning it and standing with the victims of it.

That is hardly the entire list of all my flaws and shortcomings that need correcting (can you say "covid pounds"?), but I will start with those efforts.

I was over at the in-laws for a birthday celebration and FIL decided to go into a tirade about HRC. I don't even know what he was yelling about, but this wasn't the first time that I had to listen to this sort of thing while at what's suppose to be a happy event. I decided then and there I wasn't going to their home anymore to celebrate any birthdays or holidays.



In 2015 at Thanksgiving, he went on a tirade about how it was Obama that told Turkey to shoot down a Russian warplane.


It's insane and has absolutely zero logic.

There will be no end to the Repukes' racism, homophobia, cruelty and greed in the coming year.
Don't wear yourself out!
