I have given my LAST contribution, ever, to Rashida Tlaib.

LAST CONTRIBUTION EVER.

You do NOT boo Hillary and get away with it - with a voter/contributor like me. How DARE she!!!

February 1, 2020

Yeah. Why not! That's what you call yer "Weaponized Messaging"!

Yep! Same thing as "the IMPEACHED president donald trump."

Go right ahead! I'll join you.

YES. YES. YES. YES. YES.

It HAD TO be done.

If for no other reason as the proverbial “message in a bottle” to the future. We stuck a flag in the sand.

We did that on the moon, too. And shit - maybe that flag will go unseen for generations or however long it’ll take us to get back up there in future space expeditions.

We left a mark. Forever and for all time. And we had to. We had to do that. And we had to do this, too. We left this flag “planted in the sand” of the pages of history books in the future. Where perhaps cooler heads and more clear-eyed analysis and understanding can learn from it.

We needed to leave a mark on donald trump. WE needed to BRAND HIM. After all, he’s the guy who wants his name on everything in huge gold-colored letters everywhere, in much the same way as a dog will want to pee on everything to mark its territory as its own. So WE have now peed on his brand. His name and his “almighty” brand will from now on carry the mark of “IMPEACHED.” He’ll ALWAYS carry that mark whether he likes it or not. He’ll always be listed in the membership of that “exclusive club”. And NOTHING will change that or erase that or excuse OR lie it away. NOTHING.

Even a Senate vote to acquit won’t change that. Won’t make that blemish go away. Won’t change that reality. Or that absolute (and, mind you, NOT “alternative”) FACT. The IMPEACHMENT stands. As Speaker Pelosi said - “impeachment is forever.”

Period. End of sentence. Full stop.

Just savoring this yet again.

Gotta make a copy of this one. Just boils it right down.

It’s a Definite Keeper!

I may actually print out a copy to keep in the notebook in my purse.

February 1, 2020

Yep.

February 1, 2020

Yep.

February 1, 2020

Yep.

So's mine.

Not a football fan in the first place. It’s little more than organized brutality to me. I’ll always be grateful that my son never showed an interest. He wasn’t a sports kid in school. He was always the “music nerd.”

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. 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.
