In times of chaos you either get real aggressive or get buried.

And we are in an era of chaos.

Supreme Court is going to over rule anything they deem as progressive.

Options available become fewer and fewer.

With that, keeping our powder dry, working to cooperation, things of the past.

Now I am 60, but I realize things used in the past will no longer work.

There is going to be one winning group and one losing group. Zero sum game, which means we are at a disadvantage and playing by Repuke rules.

So people on our side need to get ready to deal with radical changes.

With that people like Manchin and Sinema can’t be used as leverage. Telling people we need to vote in more Dems and wait for solutions won’t work. Next time one of the clowns holds up the agenda they should be given two options. Get on board or get the fuck out. Option two means we are going to tear you down. Manchin has plenty of skeletons. No damn reason to negotiate.

We can be relegated to permanent minority party trying to appease these types or brawl every damn day. It is the only way to win.

I have (had) two flags that fly at my house - US and CA flag

For $20 I got Solar Lights that attach to the poll and keep the flags lit when the sun goes down.

The US flag got a bit tangled so I had to reach up to pull it down. Need my ladder to put it back up. The ladder is literally five feet from the flag. All I have to do is open it up, climb up two steps and put the US flag back up.

Since Monday night I just can't muster up the effort to put it back up.

Look at it every day this week, but I just can't.

Shout out to Bumrush and the others managing the J6 threads.

Provide links and updates.

Today I actually had some calls and had to catch up.

Many thanks

June 22nd 2022 - Inform a Republican Day

Tomorrow we should all commit to talking to a Republican.

Let’s face it, Fox News and hate radio isn’t going to inform them. Your average Repub is going to tune into Fox or hate radio and hear Democrats and Liberals are killing babies, letting immigrants in that kill your families, groom your children to be something other. Jan 6 focus from the RW media will only be on how it is unfair that serial abuse enabler Gym Jordan isn’t on the committee.

We should all reach out to at least one. Focus on Republicans attempt to kill democracy and/or Elected Repubs refusing to enact gun laws that we all want.

I will let some of our fine experienced wordsmith DUers post some options for text that is non threatening. Then we give it a shot, see what kind of feedback we receive.

Liz dropped the proverbial turd in the punch bowl

Well played! Scott Perry was the first turd. The genius part, she just dropped one turd. Said there were other repukes, created a cliff hanger. So tonight there are multiple pukes with puckered asses. Biggs, Gosar, Jordan, sleep well assholes.

Also she made a point of saying Kevin McCarthy was 'scared.' A big FU to Kevin. In Repuke/Foxese, she called him a pussy.

Anyone paying Caregiver or Nanny

Looking at options for MiL. From quick review this morning it does not seem that paying and 1099 caregivers is doable and the only "above board" process is to W2 employees.

Any thoughts for others that are paying for in home care?

People need to wrap their heads around this immediately

They won’t come out and directly, but the message is clear. Their need for guns is for one reason. To protect themselves from a tyrannical government.

Their definition of a tyrannical government, anyone elected who is not a Republican.
