I’m at my Dad’s. He’s 90 and a staunch Republican. I can’t even tell you about our conversation today because I’d be slapped down for spouting Republican talking points. HIS talking points. Everything you’ve heard, on steroids. When I asked him if it’d be okay for any political party to have received help from a foreign government, it took him wading through five tries to say it wouldn’t be okay. Other things he’d “never heard about that.” All I can say is he’s moved on from Fox to a station called “One America News.”

I just can’t. I’ve left the basement where the tv is and am up I’m the living room.

So sad.

the ENTIRE conversation.

Where is Joy Reid when we need her?

We have 40+ videotapes of our family dating back to 1988 (we rented that camcorder, I'm sure of it!) Our daughter and I just went through and labeled all of the tapes and I've found someone locally who will digitize them. I'm not sure if I should ask for DVDs (old technology, I know) or USB/thumbdrive. I have a newer computer with a built-in DVD so I can easily watch them. We also have a few DVD players in the house.

Can I transfer them to USB by myself? Has anyone done this before? Thanks in advance for advice
