There’s a special place in Hell for people who want to take away our National Parks and Monuments.

I have visual voicemail on my phone because listening to a v-mail makes me so anxious that I avoid it and miss important things. Being able to read a v-mail helps me to manage. Multiple text messages also get me. I feel less anxious having one 20 line text than 20 one line texts from the same person.

A friend of mine who went to a prestigious law school said about half his classmates were using coke to get through. When I, midwest raised boy that I am, asked why they didn’t just use meth, he said something like, “They think too much of themselves; they’re not truckers.”

When women start doing that to me, and hit them with the “ehn, mine’s a little on the slow side, but he’s sweet and happy, but I drank like a fish through most of my pregnancy, so [shrug!]”

Yep, I’m quite comfortable now, but some part of my consciousness is ALWAYS afraid of going back to being homeless. I can’t use/think of/react to money the way other people in my current tax bracket do.

This is fucking Pence, all Pence. He has a bible baby Jesus world view and does not give a shit about the separation of church and state. My friend who used to work in his office can’t stand him and she loves everyone. I need her to spill the beans.

In the vast field of dumb rom coms, it’s in my top ten. Number one is the Decoy Bride. If it’s a movie set in a green rocky place with a good-looking man I can’t resist.

I know she’s a kook, but Louise Mensch has been ahead of them all (msm) on the Trump-Russia beat by months, and all of her reporting/tweeting has turned out to be accurate (or very close to it). Clearly she’s got a direct line to a source who knows the dirt.

Reading this article about that book (“Shattered”) on Wapo makes me physically ill. This part, in particular, is just devastating:

Her attorney Jamie Gorelick said in a statement that she “will not weigh in on business strategy, marketing issues, or the commercial terms of agreements.”

Trump looks like my 8-year-old on Sunday when we went to a restaurant and he threw a fit because he wanted to go home and play with his iPad. Look at his stupid fucking, sulking face. God this entire family disgusts me.

As a parent, knowing that there are amazing caring teachers like you willing to protect my child in a potential terrible situation makes it a little easier to sleep at night. Bless you and thank you.

Ah the luxury of having never bought an item from Walmart. You obviously have never lived in a small town with poor parents, and the only place for 30 miles is a Walmart. In rural areas, it’s a necessity.

It’s the Askewniverse. View Askew.

I am having the hardest time with this. The easy comment I see is “just cut those assholes out of your life!” But that’s impossible when they’re family and friends I actually love and not Facebook acquaintances I haven’t seen in person in 10 years. I’ve been trying to educate with facts and not emotion but it’s SO…

“We” failed nothing. Stupid people with their heads up their ass, failed. Evil fucks with more money than god, failed.

yeah, I think that the fact that she is earnest and so obviously cares makes people reject her. it makes me feel a kinship with her.

God, watching him get more and more irritated as Uncle Joe kept shaking his head and chuckling was amazing.

He’s a complete and utter failure, and how he managed to get his ass kicked by Joe Biden, and still end up Speaker is beyond me.

So so so so so so so so so so so so so dismayed Mercy Street was cancelled. Boo on you, PBS. Damn it, they needed one more season to wrap up plot lines.
