The right-wing aholes pushing this nonsense via the media outlets they control are one thing, but it's alleged Democrats pushing this BS who should check themselves.

Biden can't be replaced. It's logistically too late because various state laws and legal challenges will keep whoever his replacement is off of the ballot. Get behind him or go buy yourself a red hat.

Turned and mixed the compost piles this afternoon (we have thawed out sufficiently for this to be an option). Something rather satisfying about seeing steam rising into the winter afternoon air from the center of the pile you are aerating and mixing up a bit. My garden is part food production; part nature appreciation; and part science appreciation - mixed in with a dose of decent exercise for the body. Kitchen gardens are good for the mind, soul, and body.

It’s fun watching the day after spin from the “Durham Report”.

Now if you already don’t know Republicans appointed a special prosecutor to take a look at the FBI investigation into Trump/Russia.

The results of said investigation are:

-It was warranted
-No criminal wrongdoing was found
-Durham simply didn’t like how the investigation started.

But conservative media is trying its hardest to pretend like the report is damning for the FBI

When really….it just shows they did their jobs.

Back home from my cat's annual "well cat vet appointment". He and I are both glad that is over with for yet another year. Barring emergencies etc., he won't have to go through that stress again for quite a while.

It's been a rough week. Lots of annoying little (sometimes expensive) things, but the worst part of it was my best friend passed away yesterday morning after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. I knew it was coming and likely this week based on conversations with her earlier in the week, but it still devastated me. All cancer is bad news, but pancreatic cancer is incredibly vicious and swift.

You think this is bad, wait until these morons, including the folks the media is inexplicably labeling as “moderates,” try and hold the full, faith, and credit of the United States hostage later in this year.

What we are seeing is the way the fucking INSANE @GOP can't even work with each other.
How on EARTH can they work for America, which is, definitionally, a diverse continuum of political positions?
@GOP is absolutely, irretrievably broken.

- Within the last few minutes Twitter is no longer allowing posts that contain links to counter.social in them. And get this - is flagging them as 'potentially harmful' - that's some fucked up shit. Bordering on slanderous misinformation.
