Nice is don’t rock the boat. Go along to get along even if it’s against your ethics and offends every fiber of your being.
Good is standing up for your principles even it means not being nice.
I’m not a nice person.
I’m a good person.
And I’m ok with that.

My son surprised me with an airline ticket for Thanksgiving.
I get to spend 16 glorious days in sunny California.
I’ll miss my SD grandkids but I’m so excited about visiting my happy place and spending time with my Cali grandkids. This is going to feel like therapy.

The “clean CR” MAGA ranted about contains zero healthcare protections, a $500K gift for corrupt J6 senators and guts the hemp product industry, have I got that right?

When my kids were elementary/middle school age, I collected SNAP benefits for awhile.

Nazi Noem promises to destroy Antifa and claims she arrested the girlfriend of a “founder“.
Lemme guess.
The founder she is threatened by is an elderly WW2 vet named Bill and they arrested his lovely caretaker Consuelo who bakes “special” brownies for our monthly Antifa meetings.

I recently had an appointment with my cardiologist. It was an annual checkup to say hi, I’m doing just fine and please refill my heart meds.
My cardiologist recently moved from Sanford to North Central Heart. I like her so I chose to follow her. This was my first appointment since the move. 1/3

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Senior year in high school we took a chorus/band/orchestra bus trip to the Metropolitan Theater on the campus of the U of M to see a broadway troupe production of Carmen.
My first opera.
We dressed appropriately but didn’t compare to the men in tuxes and women dripping in diamonds and furs. 1/5

I agree she should be tried at The Hague.
Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

Oh how I love this for our sadistic Nazi princess.
Kristi Noem is mad they wouldn’t let her in to use the restroom in Illinois today.

I learned this weekend my Midco cable package includes free steaming from Pluto.
Pluto has an entire channel devoted to Law & Order.
Law & Order 24/7.
I’m a happy camper. 😂

Protesting inhumane treatment at ICE facilities does not a war make.
He’s just mad he can’t bomb innocent Americans like he does innocent Venezuelan boats.

Somehow seeing two separate state trooper pickups prowling our east side Sioux Falls neighborhoods during a 20 minute takeout run does not make me feel safer.

He’s breaking. He knows he’s not adored. “Smart people don’t like me.” The Epstein scandal is not going away. The economy is tanking. He’s losing his ag and Latino base. It’s only going to get worse as long as Congress remains willfully impotent.
I don’t know how we make it stop. I’m so over him.
