A Photo Exercise...

I might go around and take pictures of those homes in the area that are truly full-on MAGA.

I'd like to have some before shots to reveal to those who care what changes occurred during that time.

I remember this summer that a Naut posted about traveling and how little US citizens really know about the entire world due to our insular nature.

We're about to find out how not insular we are when the Hollow Man gets back in office.

ON this date in 1966 Edward Brooke became the first African American since Reconstruction elected to US Senate.

Bun Man just turned to me and said, Yes, I remember this...shocking in two ways.

How is that little buddy?

Bun replied, One, that it took that long, and two, that whiteys actually let this happen.

Mr. Purple stated, this is what happens under two-party rule.

Bun Man corrected, this is what happens under two-party control.

Historybook: Astronomer Edmond Halley born (1656); X-rays are discovered (1895); Singer Minnie Riperton born (1947); Edward Brooke becomes first African American since Reconstruction elected to US Senate (1966); "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek dies (2020).

"Take your job seriously, but don't take yourself too seriously."

My Community Firehose column is not working. I keep hitting the back tab and it takes me completely out to the login screen.

Morning Peeps,

Feeling less numb this morning, still not ready to deal with the news...

Starting to look for stuff to do around the house to keep myself occupied and not ruminating.

Trying to ensure I do what I need to do to keep healthy physically while I mend mentally.

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.

QOTD:

To be eligible to run for the US Presidency, there are 3 criteria:

Natural-Born Citizen...

Be 35 or older...

And...

Be a US resident for how many years?

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.
