I’ve got my eye on Tammy Duckworth! Glad you brought her up.

Yaaaay, Lindy! Get ‘em, girl!

Gosh, Bob, if only your party hadn’t spent the last 20 years tirelessly dismantling the social safety nets that would keep vets like you afloat. But I’m sure they’ll leave your Medicare and SS alone. They care. A lot.

TWENTY years together! Wow! I’m always a little surprised when our anniversary rolls around. I can’t believe anyone sticks with me year after year. :D

Dinner and a movie sounds fun! I think we’re going to go to my hub’s favorite sushi place for a cringe-worthy “dinner boat,” which is a meal presented on an actual model…

Hey, friend. I hear you on the fear. These are scary times. Trump can make us afraid, and he can make us sad or angry, and he can make my period run and hide, but he doesn’t get to take our will to live. He doesn’t get to have that. That’s ours.

I approve of your asterisk filtration. You know the real obscenities.

Our uterii can’t tolerate four years of this hell.

Sorry he got you, too. He’s a monster. :(

I have to say something: Donald Trump fucked up my cycle. When my period started yesterday, it was cycle day 40. I have never been late like that before, unless I was pregnant (which I definitely was not). Donald Trump ruins EVERYTHING.

High sodium from the capers, perhaps.

With so many illegal votes, he should be first on board with a recount!

You said “put a chicken to sleep,” and I thought I was going to watch Martha Stewart snap a chicken’s neck. I watched anyway. I don’t know what that says about me.

It’s dawning on him. He was shell shocked after his meeting with Obama. This is going to destroy him. It’s glorious.

Absolutely. He needs to sweat. He lost the popular vote. By a lot. We don’t have to make anything easy for him—and in fact, it’s our goddamn duty to make leading as hard as possible. He wanted this, he’s gonna have to fucking work.

I gave to both! As well as to the ACLU, League of Women Voters, New York Times ... My liberal money is flowing, well, liberally (in the modest amounts I can manage). As per usual, we can care about more than one thing.

You know what? I’m ok funding local Green candidates. That’s how third parties need to build—from the ground up. After the expense of the recount, they’re welcome to the rest as a tip for doing all of us the favor of putting the results under scrutiny. We should expect rigorous standards in our elections. Even if the…

I thought Tim Kaine was our dad. Do we have two dads? Are our dads gay, or is this a Three Men and a Baby situation? I just need to understand my family.

Electronic voting machines still create a paper trail at the end of the day. Unfortunately, the printouts are rarely checked against the electronic tabulation. I believe this is what’s meant by “checking the paper ballots.” If no one bothers doing that, it’d be easy for a discrepency to slip through. 

My understanding (from taking a family member to the ER for psychiatric reasons and the followup discussions with doctors) is that if the police / EMS are involved in transporting, the patient will be restrained as a safety precaution, even if they are cooperative. It’s no indication that the patient is behaving…

I got my first Sunday NYT the other day. It’s taken me three morning coffees to get through just the first section! Well worth the subscription price.

Wishing you health and healing.
