Take a number.

The line’s pretty long already.

I see two really horrendous excuses for "men" in that photo.

Two really shameful excuses for “Christians”, even though they use a whole lot of salesmanship to convince you otherwise. Especially the old smirking SOB sitting next to David Stockman.

All you EVER need to know about these creeps:

Republicans DON’T want to help you.

They’re the gang that extols “rugged individualism” and other versions of “you’re on yer own!”

They seriously and relentlessly cling to the “ideal” of NOT helping anybody.

Republicans DON’T want to help you.

Republicans DON’T want to help ANYBODY (but their own selfish, greedy selves, that is).

Ah yes, the MAGAts.

A real rogue’s gallery.

I HOPE he's an "independent."

I usually have a hard time trusting people who say they’re independent. I want a DECLARED FRONTLINE PROUD-of-it DEMOCRAT.

I can’t trust an independent. Their loyalties are suspect. I can’t get around (or away from) my worries that they’re as likely to vote GOP as to side with me.

Besides, I’ve seen people SAY they’re “independent” mainly because they don’t want to be honest about being Republican. They’ll vote that way a lot, if not most, of the time. They just don’t want to have to admit it.

We’re in campaign season again and I’m noticing how many billboards and yard signs and even campaign commercials that don’t tell you what party the candidate belongs to. I find that schemingly deceptive. DELIBERATELY deceptive. Trying to romance you into voting for them. I want to know which party they belong to! And if I don’t see that, I likely won’t vote for them. I’ve come to suspect that if you don’t identify publicly as a Democrat, then you’re probably trying to put one over on the voters. In any event, you’re not being completely honest.

FULL DISCLOSURE OR BUST!

Excellent point!

All the better because it happens to be true!

Nothing trite about it, Atticus!

You offer a MOST important reminder: enjoy The Now. I’ve started taking snapshots of the leaves all budding and the flowering trees ablaze with color. Almost ridiculously beautiful! REALLY appreciating the seasons where we are now. For all that California offered, there were no “seasons”. I forgot how lush fall was, what with all the leaves turning. Soooooooooooo many different colors of red and orange. I forgot how luxuriously colorful spring is. But there are trees all over everywhere that seem eager to remind me.

GAWD do I love trees! Genuine marvels.

Perfect aim!

Precision positioning!

I’ve replayed it five or six times in a row!

What a remarkable story!

Those are truly glorious creatures!

Might be a good idea to register your disapproval.

You don’t like what you’re seeing? Let ‘em know!!! If she’s getting a lot of heat from viewers, that will nudge a few changes. And it makes a MUCH bigger difference than suffering in silence!

ALWAYS!!! Make some NOISE!!!!!

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
