I’m a blue voter in a red state, meme collector, subversive cross-stitcher, and Star Wars & Star Trek fan. Obsessive about genealogy research. I enjoy a classic cocktail and my favorite day is Caturday.

Trump trashed the job market, fired the jobs chief, drastically cut healthcare funding, shut down the govt to hide the Epstein files - then told America: “Go fuck yourselves.”

It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.

Let's see. President Biden
* Initiated a small business boom with 21 M new businesses
* Lowered costs of health insurance, pharmaceuticals, and energy
* Increased new housing starts by 17% over Trump 1.0
* Was the most pro-labor president in history
* Got America vaccinated

Did I forget anything?

I fibbed my way into a Covid shot today. I don’t have any underlying conditions.

I also have no regrets.

Trump demanded Comey be charged. A veteran prosecutor resigned rather than bend the knee. And then Trump hand-picked an aide who’d do it anyway. Using the justice system to go after a political opponent is what dictators do. It’s Comey today, but it could be anyone tomorrow.

We are bailing out Argentina while Argentina’s farmers sell soybeans to China in the place of American farmers which is putting them out of business, so now we also have to bail out American farmers while Argentinian farmers make bank.

Trump’s America First Golden Age.

We now have free, open carry in Florida. I hope every black and brown person here now arms themselves and we’ll see just how long it lasts. www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2...

Open carry now officially legal in Florida. Here’s what to know

In Florida, no license is needed to own a firearm, and now, no license is required to open carry.

Is there a German word for the disappointment you feel when you get to the end of a bad traffic jam and there’s not even an accident to gawk at even though you’d never wish anybody any harm
