A Laugh if You Need It.

A woman in our joint city and town Facebook page was responding to a post about how high water levels caused damage to some properties on the lake. She replied, "my dick got damaged by ice. I need the water level to go down fast." Some guy replied to her, "epic typo." Unfortunately she hasn't edited it yet.

Does anyone know what is wrong with Jamie Raskin's eye.

I saw a clip of his interview with Dana Bash. One of his eyeballs looked very red and sore?

My Opinion on Government-Religious Controversy

This might be controversial, but I feel myself compelled by my beliefs and my education to say it. If the government wants religious leaders to stay silent on politics, then politicians must leave religion out of politics. I was taught in church that Jesus said render unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's, and render unto God, what is God's. Not to mention the founders of the U.S. plainly wrote in the very 1st ammendment that the government was forbidden to establish a state religion. Through out history there is many examples of why mixing church and state is a horrendous and dangerous idea.

I love my faith and my country, but 💯 believe in the separation of church and state.

Give that man a gold medal!

Wow, a little while ago I witnessed an amazing act of driving skill. There is construction going on up the road. As I was making my coffee, I looked out the window. There was a cement truck driver parallel parking it between two other trucks on the side of the road, it only took him one try. I couldn't even do that with a mid-size sedan, when learning to drive. I had to promise the man giving me my driver's test never to try and parallel park again in my life before he'd pass me.

Had my Regular Check In With My Psychiatrist Today.

She obviously knows I was raised Catholic and that I majored in Social Science and History. Her first question was "how are you doing with all this insanity that is going on in the world right now? I told her it's of course been upsetting me but, I am doing my best to manage my anxiety and depression with my dialectical behavior therapy skills the clinic has taught me.

She is definitely not a fan of the tsf, but she said something interesting. She said she is now blaming him less and more blaming his family, Vance, his staff, and his Republican colleagues in the House, the Senate and the SC.

She said you don't need a medical degree to know he's obviously sinking further into a serious stage of dementia, and it is not safe for either the country or him, to let him continue as President, but yet they sit back and do nothing.

Next Time a Magat says President Biden was terrible,

I am going to say, "Oh, I am so sorry you had to wear a mask during the Covid epidemic. Don't worry! Once tsf starts letting the nukes fly, nobody will need one. We will all be dead, including you."

Huff Post ran an article about a woman's near death experience.

They included in the piece that research shows that the majority of people who have experienced the same thing all report feeling a sense of overwhelming love and peace. It's exactly what I experienced when I had mine. When fearful about what is going to happen to the world, due to the deranged leader of this country, I am telling myself to remember that feeling, and know that it was God's love surrounding me then. That even though sometimes I have doubts whether I am still worthy of it, that when the end comes he will still welcome me home with the same unconditional love I felt in that moment. The feeling that I hoped to feel all my life, and never felt until those few brief moments, that I was truly loved.

Republicons Self Own.

Republicons aren't capable of realizing that calling the No Kings protests, "Hate America," gatherings makes them look far worse than the liberals they hope to demean.

If millions of people in cities, and towns across the entire Country are mad enough to march, that means those people hate the way the country is currently being governed. Since the Rethugs are the majority in all three branches of government, that reflects on their leadership, or lack there of, more than anything else.

It's not America the majority of people "hate," it's the way tsf and his flunkies are destroying the country we love.

Favorite No Kings sign so far.

A sign attached to a black labs collar that read, "I could poop 💩 a better president." 👍
