And Here's the funny part...

We just gave a Fascist unlimited and unchecked power to control the destiny of the most powerful nation in the World.

That's no small feat for US citizens...

Who is putting money on Eric Prince getting into the resettlement business?

The scariest part for me...

I knew the vocal and visible ones, it’s the quiet (but really, I'm a nice guy) racist, xenophobic, misogynistic mofos who live among us in the USA.

Rethinking my role as a US consumer, the world's best economy elected Trump.

Gonna move to just getting essentials.

It's all just gonna get added to the National debt until it busts and the oligarchs take full overt control.

Morning Peeps,

Apologize for my absence...

Still in shock

It's gonna take a while for me to get beyond this one.

This one stings to my core.

Those who know me on FB, I am no longer there as I'm shrinking my SM exposure.

I think it's safe to say I need a new challenge

The malevolent effect of CLOSE POLLS...

After Trump won in 2016, he nominated several right-wing judges to the Supreme Court, and now there are no federal protections for abortion rights. As a result, women are dying. Those federal protections would still exist if there had been a different outcome in 2016.

Judd Legum on Election Impact

In a wild presidential election featuring dozens of criminal felony charges, fallacious claims about election fraud, and sexist invective, it's easy to forget a fundamental truth: The real impact of the election will be expressed through changes to federal law and policy.

RESTING ON YOUR SHOULDERS

YOUR CONSUMER SHOULDERS THAT IS...

Colleges are charging “talent fees” and “athletic surcharges” on sports tickets and at concessions stands to help offset the pay college athletes now receive.

WE ARE DISGUSTING IN WHAT WE ALLOW...

When the polls close on this doozy of a day, it’ll mark two things: 1) No more texts begging you to save democracy for $5 (for now) and 2) the most expensive election season in American history is finally ending.

A projected $15.9 billion has been dumped into the presidential and congressional campaigns on the ballot today, according to the nonpartisan nonprofit OpenSecrets.

Apologize profusely for the mistake.

I've already dropped and given you twenty pushups, please don't give any more punishment.

FDR ON ROPE TYING

Historybook: "Gone with the Wind" actress Vivien Leigh born (1913); Writer Sinclair Lewis is first American to win Nobel Prize for literature (1930); Franklin D. Roosevelt is first and only US president elected to third term (1940); Saddam Hussein is sentenced to death (2006); Google unveils Android (2007).

"When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."

- Franklin D. Roosevelt

ON this date in 1995 - "The Wizard of Oz in Concert" took place for a Children's Defense Fund.

The show featured Jackson Browne as the Scarecrow, Roger Daltrey as the Tin Man, Nathan Lane as the Cowardly Lion and Jewel as Dorothy.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple got roles in the Lollipop Guild and stole the show--quintessential munchkins; so disappointed when the show cancelled the US tour.

ON this date in 1998 - Scientists published a genetic study that showed strong evidence that Thomas Jefferson fathered at least one child (Eston Hemings) of his slave, Sally Hemings.

Fellow descendants of plantation owners Bun Man and Mr. Purple were so glad the focus was always on poor Thomas and not on their lineage.

Privately, the Boyz feared their ancestors had strayed a little also...

When the Boyz asked George and all his George sons why he invented that grill, George replied "I just figured I'd make money out of my grill, not throw it all away putting a grill in my mouth..."

George had a point...

ON this date in 1994 - George Foreman, 45, became boxing's oldest heavyweight champion when he knocked out Michael Moorer in the 10th round of their WBA fight in Las Vegas, NV.

Trained intensely by World Famous Trainers Bun Man and Mr. Purple, the Boyz kept George on a strict diet of freshly ground meat cooked on a Foreman Grill.
