The crux of the matter from my vantage is that everyone has a role to play in getting Trump out of office. Voters vote, the Dems field excellent candidates for *all* offices, and those in Congress use the tools at their disposal—of which impeachment is one.

This, eternally this—particularly over the course of the past 10 months. Christ.

A hundred thousand points for your last paragraph. Because a lot of the past 3-4 years have felt like nothing but a thought exercise, rather than a root cause analysis (not that deep root cause analysis is needed for Trump, whose record as racist, misogynist, wanton scoffer of constitutional rights is decades long)…

I thought the budget line item for his vessel only covered the cost of an inflatable sex doll that doubles as a pool float. 

We share an experience—many Americans crawled out of their “shit hole conservative small town” (your words and connotations, not mine). That said, our shared experience doesn’t make you any less wrong on your points.

Oh, honey no, Republicans won’t listen to criticism from fellow conservatives—been there, tried that, watched it fail spectacularly prior to leaving the party in 2000. There is nothing Republicans hate more than intelligent women proffering criticism. 

Yup.

The nostalgia, it burns. +1

+10000 This doesn’t have nearly enough stars.

“You only get so many bites at the apple”. Where the fuck does he learn his idioms?

NH is a state I’ve never visited—but this sounds lovely, gun nuts excepted. Being an hour away from Boston and with mountain access sounds like heaven.

Yet. Give him time.

Please don’t encourage him for US Senate. He was a far-from-awesome governor and is guaranteed to cave to the petroleum industry, polluters, and all the same entities he caved to while governor.

I am going to laaaaaugh if this is the “emergency” that Pence turned his plane around for. Back to topic: it’s about 1095 days too late and billions of dollars short, but I guess better late than never, eh?

I will also posit that the homeless population I’ve seen on the west coast (Seattle, San Francisco) are in far more dire health straits than homeless populations in, for example, the Twin Cities. It was obvious that even sporadic access to health care happens far less frequently in those west coast locations. Coming…

I’m imagining his eyes doing what his body cannot: reaching out from his skull and flexing (nonexistent or atrophied) muscles.

Also, to whomever is starring tomato’s latest account—NYC Mental Health Outreach—please don’t. I’m dismissing as much as I can, but seriously stop starring that primordial goo.

Yeah. I’m sure Zuck and the rest of the FB will be right on this latest fiasco and handle it appropriately. (not)

I’m taking time away from Twitter, because the number of weaksauce specious defenses like “just following orders”, “don’t assume that everyone who is part of that FB group is guilty (an assertion I never made, TBH)“, “we don’t know how many ex-agents are part of that group”, “you’re just hysterical” for pointing out…

Being “over-prepared”—let alone “prepared”—is only lobbed at women as a criticism. It’s textbook misogyny, no matter what field (politics, medicine, music, etc) and no matter what political persuasion or party affiliation.
