LOL, tonight on PBS Newshour, conservative defender David Brooks (with whom I rarely agree) called tRump a “sociopath” in response to the Pretender’s demeanor in El Paso last week-specifically the photo op with baby in Cruella’s arms, big orange grin and tiny ‘thumbs up’ pose. I agree with David in this instance.

Bonus: the birds love them, both for the blossoms and for the fruit. 

Pomegranates are def hard to eat and sometimes I just can’t be bothered. But I completely love how beautiful they are as ornamental garden plants. I could point out at least 3 different big ones in my neighborhood here at home and also one area near where I work where I love to see the plants as they go through the…

Lots of red flags there.

Amen. And nicely said.

Exactly. And usually I’m singing along and totally stringing to hit those high notes. Who has time for the image management and honestly, since patriotism and the flag have become weaponized in this country, it’s lucky I’m not flipping a bird with both hands while I do my harmonizing. 

You know who is still on the air-and it’s incomprehensible to me. Maury. He is the very definition of a ‘one trick pony’, 

Jerry, sadly, is no longer on the air. I know this cause I searched for his show this summer since he is an entertaining and intelligent guy who ran for and won elected office.

Selling billions of dollars of arms to the Saudis who also proofread and edit his speeches.

Performance Art President, his people scurrying around in the background (like rodents?) finding specific issues for him to use to flog up his base. No wonder US Americans are so exhausted, I know I am. The press will sometimes describe Donnie as, “freewheeling” when in fact it’s all scatter shot and closer to…

I thought I read she was leaving behind the film crew and her pop. ???

Reading about that ship/boat today, I was wishing there was an option for her to go on a bigger vessel. :-( It’s a big ocean, little boat. 

Thank you!

So great that you have this cool activity to share and further bond over. The Boys of Summer will always be there. I hope for you your mom will block out some time in her calendar to enjoy them with you. But even those phone calls over games sound really really fun. Enjoy that, you're so lucky to have a mother you can…

What a great goal. Just do it!!

I feel your pain. But for all intensive purposes,

You know the end of the world is near when Justin Bieber is schooling the POTUS. Oh, well. We had a good run for a few years, there.
