My sinking feeling is gone! I'll leave it up, but this speech was epic!

Last edited Thu Mar 7, 2024, 11:16 PM - Edit history (1)

Not about Joe or his ability. But about these freaks in the Maga caucus. They truly know no bottom. I think they're gonna make "you lie" look quaint.

I might have to bow out early. As a childhood victim of bullying, I have a low tolerance for that kind of thing.

Just not that into all the media hype. You have to listen to all the commentary, and pre speach bullshit, the who is sitting with who.

Blyat, to steal a Russian term.

I'll just catch it later. Much less drama.

In the meantime, I have a very rare for me adult beverage, and will find something on Netflix once I figure out where the fur babies are at.

The problem with me and Netflix is it takes so long to choose a flick I get too tired to watch it.

Sigh. I wish politics were like that.

is nothing new it is just amplified by the acceptance of bad behavior by the WPP (White people's party) and the religious community. However, believe it or not they represent the minority....I think, I hope.

America has become almost unrecognizable and our tolerance for lies, bullying, and basic civility has exploded.

Biden is doing a good job and has responded to public pressure to help people. He is a honorable man and although is not the perfect candidate (who is) deserves his moment of celebration, he earned it.

There are some nasty folks out there but do not be intimidated by their BS. ☮

Trump's speeches were a clownish shitshow, and every time I see Joe Biden make a speech, my heart goes out to him watching him pause, re-group, and fight his stutter. He's a remarkable man, and he deserves a better House for his SOTU appearances.

We have become such a shitty nation...
