Obviously it was held over until today in celebration of my birthday. I’m 48. Yikes.

Where is SNS? woken up ( Sunday here) made a coffee, came back to bed to read and it's not here.. what's happened? 

So, here’s a question for everyone: why isn’t President Carter more prominent? I don’t necessarily mean today—after all, he is a nonagenarian. But he is arguably the most moral President of the 20th and 21st centuries. He was the first evangelical Christian President (for those for whom such things are important).

I struggled with this in 2016, for sure. I eventually came to really respect Hillary’s courage and felt awful for what she’d been put through, but also felt frustrated with her on her own merits. It was a lot of interal grappling, and that’s the problem for me. There’s just too much baggage. Some of it is bullshit,

I don’t really need to hear from Chelsea either, frankly. I don’t think “child of a prominent politician” is really a valid credential. If we get Chelsea, we also get Jenna Bush and Meghan McCain.

Carter: Best Former President Ever.

Except Jimmy Carter. He’s still a force of good in the world.

Yes. The Democratic party is a different party than it was, as it should be, and for that we owe a sincere “Thanks, Obama.”

He helped orchestrate the mass incarceration of non-violent black men, which made the US a leader worldwide. One big bonus was that those men weren’t counted in the unemployment stats so Clinton led us to think those people were employed.

the “losers” are also women he has exploited but whatever, WINNING!!!

Spoken like someone who doesn’t remember his presidency. The “losers” you speak of are people who lost the social safety net, lost protection from monopolies, lost the regulation of banks, and lost their union rights, all under Bill.

Be rad if both sides of the aisle would pass the reins to the next generation all around.

Matt McConaughey said that time is a flat circle. So that means that if Emmie is 10 and Crew is 1, then in 4 years, Emmie will be 17 and Crew will be an oblate spheroid. That's, like, physics. 

Fixer Upper’s Joanna Gaines just had her fifth baby—a very cute baby boy named Crew

Crew?

“It’s hard to believe this little turkey [Crew] will only be 10 years old when [second-oldest] Emmie is graduating from high school.”

For those wondering, Crew is short for Crewstopher.

Voted for her the first time, going to do it again. Let's get it.

She took on Marathon Oil and destroyed them. 

Already filled in that little oval next to her name and submitted my ballot. Proud to be able to vote for her!
