(Since 8P) Special MSNBC Election - did Kernacki just say we're a 50-50 Country? I don't think so...

Seems closer to ? 60 - 40.

60%- Dems, Dem learning Indpdnt
40%- Reps, Rep leaning Indpdnt

Obviously it's even more complex & nuanced -
Though I'd say Libertarians usually go w Reps much,
most? of the time.

The non voters etc

I Finally Voted on the Last Day of Early voting! Phew....

Mission accomplished. 👍




Though I miss our old metal booths with curtains!
I loved the little click sound of the little levers being pushed down.
And the very satisfying "Chunk" of the big red lever being pushed from left to right to cast your vote.

Kash Patel reaches immunity deal - Lawrence O'Donnell

on now

Now he's talking about Jan 6 people in court

Geeeebz... Supreme Court to hear Case Against Harvard's Affirmative Action Polices

(Sorry, just caught a quick comment on NPR [I am sleepy but it is being reported elsewhere])

We knew this was coming, and now here it is (or soon).


Crap... way to go (most) Trumpers, and other racists.
😤

While following Mark Hamill's NAFO tweet I ran across This: re Trump & DOJ...

Hi! I'm looking to do cell phone banking for Dems. Any recommendations re: ganizations? Looking...

around for some. 👍
(just starting to google)

Had to come back (heading to sleep) and add this. David Weissman on Twitter said...

One good thing about drumphf possibly returning to Twitter is since he can't keep his mouth shut... there's stuff he'd tweet that could be used against him in a court of law.

Maybe, we'll see.
It could backfire on him! 😃

⚠️ FREE CONGRESS #(866) 338-1015 To Object to our Liberal Dems wanting to negotiate with Russia...

on their Ukraine War!

I just left a message with Rep Raskin's office 👍

The OKness, or Not of the USA, and Nov. 8, 2022

(fightforfreedom deleted their OP before I could finish my response.So here it is.)

Most of us know that this country has always had levels, and areas of okayness, and Not okayness.

As Dems post Civil War (except for too many Southern Dems for too long) we've mostly tried to increase okayness for people in general, and esp bring people out of Not okayness.

With the original major gutting of the VRA, then drumphf, his enablers, and followers while in office and horrifically after he lost, and finally out still causing mayhem (also making it harder for students, and the disabled to vote) as authoritarian lovers became bolder, target more people, etc...
we are in deep trouble.

Each of us will hopefully do our extra best to fight against the darkness before, and on Nov 8th what ever each person can do.

Do I have hope? Yeah, some.
The wave of utterly, righteous wave of enraged women, and male allies might truly make a real difference in helping to keep, and somewhat increase our hold on The House, and Senate (and Patrick Leahey get better!). Then we have to continue to deal with the SC and 2024. Gah. Horridness!

Also as Saint Yogi Berra says "It ain't over till it's over".
History shown us that things go along the way they are until suddenly they Don't. That can skew bad, but it can also skew good.

I'm sure going to have to bridle bouts of panic. I'm also going to make sure I have some fun to get some balance, and increase mental, emotional strength. I'll also try to think of other ways I can help.

Deep breaths, everybody, and Stay Strong!

Besides heat waves, and mosquitoes - What does Summer mean to you?

If Spring 🧡 in many places warming weather no more snow & ice (w a rare April eary/mid storm) plus 🧡 greening trees, crab apple & cherry tree blossoms - wonderful possibilities reopening; Summer in its best state means expansiveness 🥰 to me!

The wonderful possibilities that haven't happened yet - many will happen now, or over 6/21 - 9/19-20!

When it's not above the low 80°Fs, on dry side; no over clothes except a rain poncho if not umbrella, even sometimes mid 80°F to just 90°F especially earlier on in the season there's a Sense Of Freedom! (I swear the ole freedom from any school still sticks with me even at 69 yes on. 😄 )

So many ourdoor summer concerts! Free ones (well not since effing Covid ) More flowers in gardens & parks.
🌳🌳🌳🏵️🌺🌲🌲🌳🌼

Going down to the World Financial Center/ Brookfield Place Big Plaza, 🥰 and the long Beautiful Esplanade by The Hudson River that ends near Battery Park.

Hanging out with family/friends in backyards! Fourth of July firework. Firework on Fridays on Coney Island beach at the A Team Stadium of The Yankees or The Mets. The beach. Vacations for many people. Even the hustle and bustle of NYC streets when not (over)crowded I get energized; it varies in location.
All this and more!

(while covid has reduced much or ruined of this the past 19 months 😥 )

A Shout Out to 🥰 Summer on it's last weekend 2022!

(gI'm going to a Chineese buffet, and eating in a little park place 👍🧡 then going to a different 🧡 park later )

What does the 🧡 best of Summer mean to you? 👍🙂
