their laws are not my laws. My laws are not their laws, unless the attorney general does say so when I ask him to. Which is how it works, lot of people don't actually know that. You can't learn this stuff from law books, but I know my laws are better than theirs."

Ha. Hehehe. Oof. Got it.

Well, that's one heckuva starter caption to get at the gut punch in her bio.

Going forward, I'll be sure to adjust how I swing at the captions.

I adore these posts, as I use humor to process thru the daily horrors. Will choose seriousness when it hits me, but likely will continue mostly lobbing jokes.

Creeps me out, regardless of any data breach.

All I ask, is that you ask me before uploading your assessment of where I am on the Bernie spectrum.

I like Bernie a lot... in the Senate.

Even then he could not tell the truth.

Just the view from my little circle...

My grandpa was a fire chief of a small town for 25 years. And a proud Democrat who spoke of gladly staying with the party through the civil rights movement. He was a friend to everyone. IAFF support would be a big deal to him if he was still with us.

Cousins and uncles of mine have been firefighters and EMTs, as well. Some of them are Trump supporters, sigh.

I expect this will make them remember their Pa's views, and maybe think twice about nodding along with trump's maniacal bullshit.

I'm tracking with other candidates, too, but I really appreciate this endorsement.

I have observed blue jays alerting hawk positions up and down a golf course. Basically they take turns reporting, then wherever there's a hawk overhead, the closest one will go silent. Or so that seems to be the pattern.

I know red tailed hawks around here like clear midday skies.

I'll pay closer attention to what the blue jays are up to on a rainy day.

Just love my backyard visitors. Have had a nice mix of finches, cardinals, and titmice at my feeder at the same time, too. Then the sparrows take a shift dining. Gold finches and warblers are a rare sight. I get the occasional cedar waxwing.

White winged doves stay busy at the seed tray on the ground. One in particular dubbed, Hinky, has stuck around over the months after injuring a wing. The grackles have their own large water dish where they hold pool parties.

And at worst, an intentional takedown.

A lot can change in nine years. Like how legalization has gained broad support among the American people over those same years.

Additionally, one of the best qualities that I see in Biden is modeling how older folks can take on changing times. If he is still stuck on, gateway drug speak, then it needs to come from candidate Biden, not vice president Biden.

Btw, I like Harris. She is on my list of favorite candidates.

And not just because the nights of insomnia finally stopped. Good toons. Learned and laughed, I did.

Made me tear up, watching Biden talk about the importance of unions before the electrical workers union a few weeks back. I realized then that he had the stuff needed.

Now, that said, I am smitten with other candidates as well. I'm giving to three at the moment. More after I get my tax refund, etc.

Warren is a real deal, knows how it all works... Amazing force to reckon with. As an economics degree holder, who graduated just before the recession, I have been a major fan of hers for years.

Could not believe the crowds Beto could draw in Texas. Inspire the salt of the Earth folks and progressives who feel betrayed by a state government rigged-up to stay red. Saw this with my own eyes, I did. I adore how he can deliver an in-depth, egalitarian message without flinching.

Buttigieg, Inslee, and Harris have caught my attention as well. I am thrilled that there are so many class act, grade A, excellent dem candidates out there shining a beacon of light thru the swampy fog that trump expects us to lie down in and just accept. Well, I'm not doing it.

I'd rather spend my spare nickles on candidates than on that new pair of shoes, or fast food, or whatever other thing that I prolly don't need. If dollars are free speech, then I'd like to be heard right now.
