My younger brother was 65 years old for 39 days. He was a good man who raised good sons. The second son of a Sargent and a hippy. A carpenter. A man with calluses on his hands but not his heart. I'm saddened y'all never got the chance to met him. I shall miss him.

As wonderful as last night was; this fixes nothing. We have to have a better message for the elections coming up. We need to give people something to vote FOR, not just point to things to vote against. Mamdani ran a great campaign just that way. D leadership needs to pay attention.

In the 2016 Democratic Primary Campaign, on the Democratic underground website: I observed that If HRC won, she would be the first female elected POTUS, that if BS won, he would be the first Jewish POTUS, and if DJT won, he would be the last elected POTUS. Were I to be able to pick lottery as well..

So ...DJT is taking in multiple millions of dollars for an inauguration which has just been moved into the very finate space of the capital rotunda. He is as likely to return the money as he is to levitate four feet off the ground. The word Trump is now synonymous with the word grift.

On the subject of Hunter Biden's pardon.
I heard Pres. Biden's statement giving the reasons he chose to pardon his son. I believe he accurately understood the situation. I do not think the attacks on HB will stop. The rethuglacans still see HB as a path to punish JRB for the crime of winning

Oracle zonked out

Why can't I see the threads?

I've been here awhile now. Been quiet lately, just lurking a couple times a week. Why do so many of the recent joiners describe their entry in such dramatic fashion? This place is the online equivalent of a back deck family bbq.

Dandadan.

In the end, We are just haunted piles of meat.

What stupid shit comes into your mind while zoning out

I just realized the cat uses my movements through the house as the official time keeping device. When I enter the kitchen, it is dinner time.

Impeachment Inquest.
McCarthy's trying to just hold on to his precious "leadership" position. By not calling for a vote and making three committees go through the motions of "investigating" first, he is just jerking off MTG and the freedumb caucus long enough to get a budget extension through.

Spent 30 minutes this morning staring at the mirror checking for grey hairs.
Not a single one, it's all snowy white.
Yay?
