So DONE with the Democratic Party line - and the “leadership”. After 60 years of toeing the party line, I’m done. Give me candidates like Bernie, AOC, and Zohran. Give me candidates I feel proud to vote for, because they share my values and aren’t afraid to speak for them.

I don’t even know how to process this. Two people murdered, a child who survived and will forever live with the memories of this, and this dog who lived a life of service also killed. All slaughtered for what??? What have we become, America??? We are a wasteland to what we could have been…💔💔💔

As a former English teacher, these headlines just kill me, so many non sequitors and the complete disregard for punctuation 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. Then I stop to think about the convoluted lives these people lead and the lack of logic that gets them to where they belong-behind bars.Dateline has been quite the window!

I have, even though I find that her voice and affect drive me crazy. Her closing was just as ineffective as her opening, and I hope the jury comes back today with the only true option: a guilty verdict.

Lori was convicted in the Lori Vallow Daybell trial in Idaho about 2 years ago, Chad Daybell had his own trial later and was also convicted. There are a couple of great documentaries, too.

The jury must have formed their opinion of Lori by now, they’ve seen the full range of her mean girl ways in how she’s dealt with the women witnesses, especially. Waiting for a jury question about where JJ and Tylee are now, they don’t know that Lori was convicted in their murder.
