Gayle and Tom DeLashmutt are like any elderly couple trying to downsize, only their transition is a tad more complicated: The home they’re leaving is a 1,200-acre Virginia estate that once belonged to a Founding Father.
Selling a Founding Father’s estate, for this couple, means leaving home
Among the decisions Gayle and Tom DeLashmutt faced about Oak Hill was what to do with the Virginia mansion built by America’s fifth president, James Monroe.

In light of current reminders about how powerful rich men exploit and assault young women under the safety and guise of various forms of “employment,“ just wanna give a shout out to NYT for this gem last week where we learned about how #metoo *actually* ended harming the workplace. 🙄

The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.

Another revelation from all of these emails is that many of the richest and most powerful people in the country absolutely cannot write. Helps explain their sweaty embrace of LLMs.

"A 32-year-old woman who was part of a cleaning crew was fatally shot at an Indiana home after the workers mistakenly went to the wrong address, police said."

Like it's their fault?!

More like: "An Indiana man shot and killed a 32-year-old woman who came to his front door."

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.
Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein said Donald Trump knew about the girls that Epstein was accused of victimizing, according to emails released on Wednesday by Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
House Democrats release Epstein papers saying Trump ‘knew about the girls’
The Democrats cite exchanges with author Michael Wolff and Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite and Epstein’s former girlfriend who is serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Hey, yo, if your Reps or Senators are on social media posting about Veterans Day and all that TYFYS bullshit but they did things like vote against the PACT Act or vote to decrease the VA’s budget, you should be calling them out publicly. Don’t let them get away with that shit.

Left vs right. Progressive vs Moderate.

The labels are bullshit.

All that matters is this:

Are you gonna fight for the people when it matters, or are you gonna cave?

Idiom Origin

“pull yourself up by your bootstraps”

This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible.

A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on.

This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.

We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

One of the best shows I’ve heard and seen. And the lighting design for a bluegrass/folk show was off the chart.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
