I believe in being willing to be open to other

view points, but not when those view points, include treating , people of other races, genders, religious beliefs, or sexual preferences, as lesser beings. Let's be honest here, bigotry, money, guns, and weapons of war are the only things that the Republicans stand for anymore.

I could see as reasonable their old guard stances on being tougher on crime, and reducing the budget even though I didn't always agree. Now it's different.The majority of those type Republicans have either passed on, retired, resigned, or turned onto Magats.

They have no more reasonable points of view to offer, and what they do offer now is so abhorrent, the only thing I can possibly feel towards them is pure disgust.

They hold people in contempt mostly for what those people are born. My feelings towards magats are based solely on what they have willingly chosen to be.

Jeffrey Rosen

said once people lose faith in the rule of law, and start questioning its legitimacy Democracy will fall.

He said you can't just reject a decision because it goes against your side. I always believed that, but I don't understand how that's supposed to still work when one side's leaders are already trashing the prosecution, judge, jury etc in this case? Can only one side maintain justice?

Also how do you not question a system that allows Thomas and Alito to openly push against the boundaries of the laws, if not outright break them? They have close connections to people who tried to overturn the results of an election with violence? How do we deal with it when there is no viable method to hold them accountable if they do break the law, or refuse to recuse themselves in cases where the conflict of interest is undeniable? I know impeachment, but Republicans already have shown they aren't willing to allow one of their own, to be removed from office, even if their guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt?

Just let them continue to do it? How is that standing up for and honoring the rule of law? How does a legal system that only the majority of one side is still willing to honor protect us from the side where the majority of their leaders have already publicly announced they believe their side is above the law?

How do we stop them from committing atrocities against people of different faiths, color, sexual orientation, or women? If there is no existing "legal way," to stop them? Just step aside and watch it happen, so we can say oh well there's nothing we can do legally? How is that just or honorable ? No one ever answers this question?

Eye Center Coincidence

The optical assistant' s name was Marie which was my Mom's first name, and the assistant who did my retinal scan was named Ken. That was my Dad's name. When I told the guy he said his parents were named Ken and Marie too. Just struck me as funny, I mean what are the odds?

My eye is getting better, but this shot was more uncomfortable because it caused a bruise, and for a while I was seeing a little black ring which they said was normal, but is gone now.

I finally got the go ahead to get an updated prescription for new glasses which is all I thought I needed back in February, until the doctor told me they found the retinal issue. My current pair are so scratched up that they were not helping me see well either. The doctors made me wait because they thought the script would change after the treatment. The specialist thinks 3 more shots should reduce the chances of it happening again soon, although he said there is no guarantee that it won't come back. I am just happy I can see better now, and I will hopefully have new glasses soon.

Not a fan of waiting room today

Waiting for my latest eye injection. So far I have seen an older convict in handcuffs, and accompanied by police, and a young magat complete with stupid hat. 😳

Charlie The Golden and Mr. Quackers

I love these videos. The family has 3 golden retrievers, 2 New Foundlands, and a cat. They are all great but Charlie is my favorite to watch. The mom writes what she thinks the dogs are thinking in captions and they're really funny too.

Could we start a there's still hope thread.

I inherited my mother's pessimistic personality, and sometimes I can only imagine the dark outcomes. I need some potential positive signs that the dystopia the Magats want to turn America into, won't ever come to be anywhere other than their sicko minds.

I don't mean those over the top headlines You Tube hosts love to use like "Trump Completely Doomed," when one minor thing went against him.

But real efforts to push back that are succeeding, former Trumpers who decided never to vote for him again, stuff like that?

I think there are others here too, who might be helped by it as well.

Anyway just a thought.

Tried Popeyes' Chicken for the first time.

One opened where I live last week. Have to say not a fan. Staff was nice but just didn't care for the chicken or the fries. I prefer Kentucky Fried, and even spinach. 🤣

My sister didn't like it either. First and last time all in one trip.

In National and World Affairs

There is only 1 thing that matters. Beating Trump, period.

I say this not because I don't care about what's going on in the Middle East, or Ukraine. It's in fact because I care about those of us in the U.S. and all the other countries who just want to live in a world with at least a modicum of sanity.

That can't happen if Trump wins. In my honest opinion he won't just bring the U.S down but the entire free world. His best pal Putin will ensure that.

It won't help Palestinian, Isreal, Ukraine or anyone else, but the dictators. All it will bring is a chaotic dystopia.

This has to be driven home over and over again, because if he wins we all lose. More people who have the ability to get their voices heard, need to make that crystal clear.

Things that definitely sound dirty but aren't!

Watching an old episode of a cooking competition featuring noodles. One of the chefs realizes she's over cooked hers, but there isn't time to cook more, and she will have to serve the judges what she has. Her comment: "Well a wet limp noodle, is better than no noodle."
