Good mornin' all you. There's a chance I might go out for pizza at Ledo's today, an excursion greatly to be hoped for.

Unclench your jaw, gumshoes. Stretch that neck and those shoulders. Go walk around a little bit and eat something. It's ok to watch a video of a cute baby bunny hoppin around for a while. Hell, just imagine one. His tail is so puffy. Look! He's wiggling his nose!!! What's his name? Is it Buttons?!

G'mornin' guys and dolls. No senior center all last week because sixteen tons of snow. Hope tomorrow is back to games with friends.

I just heard how they train constitutional observers who record ICE/CBP. It's thorough, practical and wise. #Velshi showed it. I hope someone has a clip.

Us vs. Them is now the decent people vs. the unimaginable worst.

The things I've read in the last few days have made me wish I could cut out the parts of my brain where those words live.

I fixed it. I googled it and did what they said.
Sometimes something works.
Goood mornin' ev'ybuddy. My font is blurry. I wonder what I did to my computer yesterday when I was trying to get MSNOW to stop buffering.

Projection: I momentarily thought someone was saying this about him and then when I realized, I could almost see the words coming out of his mouth, hitting the bubble, and bouncing back onto him.
Trump on the Virginia governor: "I don't know how they get elected. The get elected because they cheat, if you want to know the truth. If they didn't cheat, they'd have no chance."

Golden age of Journalism right now. I'm callin' it.
I'm watching Kirschner and Klasfeld discuss Don Lemon's arrest.
I feel I know you, and Joyce Vance, Greg Olear, Nicolle, Chris, many more...
You outdo Cronkite and Murrow.
We see you as you are, you let us in, and we trust what you say.

Pretty much the most blatant possible violation of the 1st Amendment. The most obvious vindictive prosecution case too.
Statement from CNN on the Don Lemon arrest:

Is Susan Collins now going to give the regime her state's voting data and vote with the bad guys every time b/c shakedown quid pro quo?
Nice population you got there, it would be too bad if something happened to it.

We can't rescue democracy with incremental changes. I hope there are good people in back rooms planning the continental shifts we're going to need.

I went out! The library beckoned me with a long-awaited book by Rhys Bowen. Then I went to the grocery store and bought cheese, chocolate, cashews, cake and some other things. Damn, there's a lot of snow out there!

You may have something there.
They search, show the orange guy what they did, then drop it.
Await further orders from the Oval Office.
They're humoring him.
Fake results to keep him occupied.
Meanwhile they ruin the country from other offices.
I heard. It figures. They've gotta feed trump some more revenge since he's been having a rough week, what with all the court cases they're losing and the outrage over ICE and other extrajudicial murders, etc...

I know people want to be able to edit posts. There's a way around it. Basically it's copy, delete, correct, repost.

Type, post, review, see error.
Ctrl-c, delete post, start new post.
Ctrl-v, correct error, post.

It takes longer to describe it than to do it.

You're sitting at a desk, and you do something, and you know that what you did, combined with what other people will do, will result in deaths. People will die.
You just know it.
And you do it anyway.
And if you don't know it, I hope you find out.

After hearing Rachel, I'm thinking we're engaged in a Great Confrontation.
With so much power on their side and so much swelling, rising power on ours... the phrase Epic Battle comes to mind too, but we aren't battling.
What I mean to say is, this is cosmic stuff.

Rachel has outdone herself. I couldn't see it live last night but here it is.
