@RenewedRebecca last time was just the dress rehearsal. This time he has all three branches of government under his thumb.

@jeffowski nope, that part of not going back I have control of and I will never forget nor forgive. I don’t associate with fascists.

#Today the spouse and I were at the store and a woman stared at the just got the sutures out 5” scar on his forehead.
Then, and she was old enough to know better, she asked him how did it happen.
Without a seconds pause he said ‘my dear it’s a fencing scar but fear not, I bested my opponent’.
She scuttled away and he said ‘I’ve been planning that response all week’.
I’m still giggling.

#today sorry I’m drinking tonight. Been a minute but I’m having a giant pity party because apparently my eyesight is going the way of the Dodo.

@paulc @stonekettle but yet.
I have a friend stuck down there that I finally heard from. He went down to visit his mom who’s in assisted living . So he was there before the warnings and stayed to be sure his mom would be OK.
And then, when he was with a group of ordinary people who were pulling other people who were on the wrong side of a flood across with a rope the ground collapsed under them. He’s got three fractured ribs and a broken wrist. 1/

@paulc @stonekettle he couldn’t get medical care for three days and says the whole area smells like dead things.
What I’m trying to say is that regular folks aren’t to blame. Zoning boards and developers might be responsible but who knew how bad that bad was going to get?
Nobody inland expected the new normal. Government said it was OK, builders said it was OK. When they built it was probably OK. Now it isn’t. /2

@cyberlyra S’truth. While I knew immediately my sister did not. Most of us don’t have reliable periods . There’s this giant fallacy out there that says oh you get your period on the 13th so you’ll know by the 13th of the next month you’re pregnant.
Meanwhile women who DON’T have a reliable 28 day cycle are screwed. Which is most women.

@aka_quant_noir @tristansnell please. We send them ridiculous amounts of money, they get free healthcare, we get the shaft.

@jeffowski it seems to be modeled after Victorias’ Britain, being born rich makes one somehow better than the common man and more deserving.

@davidaugust @realcarlallen my father suffered his entire life from the after effects of childhood polio. Scoliosis, atrophied calf muscles.
Then when he got older he got post polio syndrome and polio related Parkinson’s.
Pneumonia killed him , post polio caused more muscle atrophy and chronic respiratory failure .

She brought a chainsaw to a knife fight.

@wdlindsy people are hearing what they want hear as told by some politicians and media outlets. The message is in most cases subtle. That it is “those other people” preventing them from being successful and prosperous. Fascism flourishes under the false premise that its followers will indeed be the chosen ones that will not suffer under it.

@jeffowski @janisf where exactly did I say that was a solution?

@janisf @jeffowski your cost of living is connected to where you live.

@janisf @jeffowski property taxes, insurance rates, housing availability, they all make an impact.
But who wants a commute that’s half as long as their working day to afford a home?

Some folks don’t understand that the world isn’t black and white. When you think in absolutes you do nobody any favors, especially yourself.

@jeffowski @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews thank you. It is absolutely being in a place of privilege to vote third party right now.

@NZedAUS @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews
I have seen numerous Trump signs disappear in the last week. My formerly Trump loving neighbor is furious over his comparison saying the Presidential Medal of Honor is superior to the Congressional Medal of Honor. Apparently the local VFW Club has come to the conclusion that Trump is trash and wants nothing more to do with him. Unless they muzzle him Republicans will be turning away.

@freemo @WrenArcher @CoachMark @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews your SCOTUS take is only one an extremely self absorbed male would hold.

@jeffowski I’ll add in that it doesn’t have to be a shooting event. I live in a rural area where it can take at least half an hour for EMTs to arrive. A good understanding of first aid, what to do and what not to do should be something everyone knows. A fully stocked first aid kit should always be in your home and vehicle. A shooting, accident, or medical event can happen anywhere.
