For those keeping score Republicans haven’t put forth a single bill in the house yet to tackle

Inflation
Medical Prices
Environmental destruction

But they have began focusing on

Woke stuff (whatever woke means)
Trans people
Cutting social programs that keep people out of poverty

In case you needed examples that their midterm messages were completely full of shit.

Contrary to how it may appear, I'm really not enjoying the current Republican shitshow.

It's bad for the country.

It's bad for the world.

It's bad for us as the people who live here.

And it's bad for democracy.

And as bad as it is, eventually these assholes will sort themselves out and then it will get even WORSE.

@babaohreally I do! I have an account @[email protected] & a 2nd at books.theunseen.city/user/tlwr

I went for a 2nd bc I wanted to test out the import function as the 1st one was turned off due to server issues and an influx of new users.

@LnzyHou Ah! Bc Grandma was born in the Smokies before they turned it into the NP, and Grandpa was from NC, and they loved fresh onions with their beans, and dad learned from his folks.

Neat how food prep methods travels around!

@SonOfGhoul you're welcome! I tend to stay close to the oven when it's preheating just bc I've done the same thing many times before.

@LnzyHou My dad & grandparents would do that when they made beans. I'm not fond of the raw onion taste personally, and neither does my husband, so we go without.

Made a big pot of pinto beans w/ smoked pork jowls for supper tonight, and waiting on the oven to preheat to put in the cornbread in the cast iron skillet.
