Yep.

February 26, 2017

Yes PLEASE!!!

YES!!!!! Seems to me that'd be proof of changing times.

That said, it would also mean the Koch brothers and Shel Adelson and Peter Thiel and the rest of 'em would have to open their checkbooks a lot more aggressively. Which means WE CANNOT DROP OUR GUARD. Not even for a nanosecond. We CANNOT let this make us complacent!

That momentum will only sustain as long as WE stay strong and KEEP IT GOING!!!

I think that was a bone thrown to her dad, failed perennial presidential wannabe Mike Huckabee.

I'm enjoying throwing the word "failed" into some of my comments these days, especially considering how often trump likes using it. But I do it in honor of truth-telling, and to correct the record.

Good Grief he's even fact-checking.

Ol' Chuckie is seeing the light.

I think it'd be cool to have an across-the-board boycott of trump-team guests on ALL these shows.

WHY do we need to keep hearing from them anyway? Too many of 'em can't even be counted on to tell the truth.

GOOD.

February 26, 2017

I don't understand it either.

Dear msanthrope, I'm so sorry that happened to you.

It's just disgraceful. How people would go to that length to try to hurt somebody.

It's UN-American.

Let's start calling them what they are: DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.

Remember when President Obama's Justice Department issued a report pointing to the rise of RIGHT-WING violence, intolerance, and initiated terror? The CONS and white supremacists and so-called "white nationalists" (fuck that "white nationalist" crap. They're white supremacists) had a hissy fit. So the Obama Justice Department backed off, and retracted that report (!?!?!?!?!?!?).

Which, seems to me, violates one of the basics of child-rearing: you DON'T reward or reinforce bad behavior. The proper response should have been to stand by that report, because it happened to be TRUE. And too bad if those anti-social, anti-American fuckers didn't like it.

And yeah. I'll say that, too. These assholes who perpetrate that hatred, spray swastikas all over the sides of churches, terrorize the black community, desecrate Jewish graves, target Latino families (because, HORRORS! Some of 'em might be illleeeeeeeegal), and challenge the legitimacy of gay rights, are UN-AMERICAN. They're UN-American.

They're UN-American.

They might as well be partnering with ISIS.

Because they're DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.

Excellent! I just got one myself!

Not the Missoni. The pussy hat. You can get 'em on Etsy.com and support crafters.

I keep it in the car so it's handy for the next protest.

I LOVE her work!

She certainly rants for me!

February 26, 2017

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.
