Republican party just called me. LOL. That was cathartic.
I gave them quite a grievance list.
I ended by telling the caller, "Whatever they're paying you for this job, it ain't enough to sell your soul."

I love that @jonathancapehart.bsky.social mentioned Nate Sage @sageforiowa.bsky.social just a day after I saw his campaign ad. It made me say, "More if this, please!"
