...kindly, I hope.

I didn't watch the whole Maddow show tonight.

Other stuff came up.

Must have missed it, and glad I did.

Andrea “oh but her emails” Mitchell.

If I were running MSNBC, I’d take her off the air before I even moved into my office.

Chuck Todd would be next. My husband calls him Fuck Turd. My husband has always been a good judge of character.

Well then, kicking again!

August 31, 2021

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

“How about some horse paste?”

OMG! That really needs to be a new all-purpose punch line - the kind that’s always followed by a “barrump-bump!”

I think the thing to do that can make a serious difference

is to get involved, actively or passively.

Absolutely vow and swear to vote in every possible election! We have 2022 coming right up. It’ll be here sooner than you know it. We ALSO have 2024 where Biden/Harris MUST be strongly and successfully defended!

Try to get at least one new or negligent voter to VOTE! Help save them from the sad awakening, after the election, if you didn’t bother to vote and you are shocked and shaken by the disappointing results! Urge that person: “DON’T let that be YOU!!!” Feel VINDICATED (not to mention relieved!) on the Morning After!

And do it because you’ll be a LOT happier with what the Democrats get done than what the GOP is guaranteed to ignore, neglect, defy, overturn, mess up, and/or defeat.

Cuz Republicans DON’T want to help you. They simply don’t believe that’s what government is there for, in the first place!

Nope. They'll believe what they want to believe.

And I don’t know what the answer to that is.

I guess all Biden can do is hunker down, keep working, and tackling the problems bit-by-bit, step-by-step, one-by-one.

I can sympathize.

Many mixed feelings. Grateful the child was rescued and that mom wasn’t badly hurt. Sad that a beautiful (although deadly) animal had to die, though, gotta admit.

August 30, 2021

Thank you for the link. I'm saving it.

Sounds like the next nominee for “Quote of the Week”.

I pick the quote that leads my Indivisible group’s weekly Call to Action email. “Head writer’s prerogative”, I suppose! Problem is, I’m almost drowning in amazing quotes. Too many good ones - and poignant ones like this.

I’ve become almost a fanatic about collecting quotes. This one is excruciating. Especially this part:

“If you are not being seen quick enough to your expectation, please take comfort in the fact it means you will not be dying today.”

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph…

Indeed. Tell it!

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.
