Yes, and I thought her interview on Hayes' show was bold

So good, that I took a picture of the TV screen during the interview.

Hopefully, her book I preordered will be waiting for me when I arrive home in some days.

Journaling, because dang,...that's a lot, even for Sept. 27, 2019

Thank you, Roland, for pulling together the eye-popping barrage of late news on a Friday evening.

Journaling to read a little later

Thanks for posting it with your helpful summary!

With his latest abuse of power, he's asking to be impeached

He must be called on his crimes. Let his republicon enablers have their cowling to him and disrespect for our democracy recorded for history. Make them answer for their complicity.

I’ve seen enough of the GOPers’ trickery and lawlessness used to wield halting control over a vast electorate that does not want to go backwards.

I do not want the desperate living they are conning people into on faux news, etc.

I am the concerned* citizen who found her white board and markers this weekend.

I’m, eh, exhausted and retooling. It’s time to focus. There’s voters to register. The kids in the streets this past weekend are fighting for our future, and they needn’t do it alone.


*By concerned, I mean, pissed-off, re-reactivated, more aware than ever, and unwilling to submit to the pResident and gang’s efforts to demoralize at least a nation’s worth of good-hearted people.

If there was ever a morning for animal pancakes

This is it.

And, I’m gonna go ahead, and reserve the right to play Yahtzee with squirrels any dang time I please.

SCE, Thank you for another pleasant wake up!

The first line in your reply is on my list of all time favorites on DU.

I'm humbled that you sent that in response to my yammering. Am still learning how to combine grace and wit on DU, and frankly, I may never quite 'get it' like some of the wise voices I look to on DU. And I'm okay with that, as long as I can be helpful on this nifty forum.

Some tRump news weeks have been so hard to process next to the goings on in my personal life, that I breakdown and start metaphorically throwing things. I'll adjust, and introduce some, eh, discipline.

I feel a deep gratitude for your kind words and insight.

And I think I did need that DU hug more than I realized.

Ah, shucks, you're the one feeling thru things here on the regular

I don't half know where to place my Jesus-loving, Buddhist-minded, atheistic self, but I know I'm not that far from those who appreciate the beauty of those whom can feel: people are good/ can be good. I have to believe this. I'm good with such an assumption.

You're good. We're good. We just need to lift up? Yes?

That's what I feel. Doesn't make it any easier to witness these cruelties upon us and those stupidly considered different from us.

Is just how I'm going thru this - I really have no idea, but I have to keep going...& you tooo! We shall resist, persist, and survive. There's too many answers to human life's problems to let the profiteers of cruelty get away with their designs.

Oh gosh, goodness

She was awesome. That campaign ad? Are you kidding me? She. Is. A. Badass.


Carter - I have family members who voted against him. Wouldn't know it to run into them at Walmart. I'm related to like half of Williamson County, seriously, like would not date anyone from there growing up. My folks people, who are the smart hillbillies, are tired of being asked to dig their own graves with a smile.

The thing about Citizens United: people don't know what it is

It needs to be explained and re-explained. Talked about, because it's out in the ether.
