Having to herd cats!!!

I'm one in Texas, but we have a senate convention. Our senate district consists of about 200,000 voters. I think about 500 people might show up to the convention, but we have our TDP reps who are chairing the convention and us underlings will deal with credentials, rules (the hardest part), allocation of delegates (I'm kinda on that committee because I'm doing credentials) and resolutions.

I can't imagine doing a caucus myself and then have to do the top three thing...etc. At least at the senate convention, it's held 3 weeks after the primary, so it's mostly a matter of determining who gets to be a delegate etc

This case is so cray-cray you need flowcharts to follow the cast of characters.
July 2019 Lori's husband is murdered by her brother in her AZ home. Lori caught on police cam flirting and smiling. No tears nothing.
She moves to ID.
Kids disappear Sept 23
She marries Chad Daybell, a mormon doomsday prophet whose wife died in October.
Nov 26, Welfare check on kids in ID. Lori says they are in AZ. They are not in AZ
Lori and Chad disappear, Nov 27
Lori and Chad located at resort in Hawaii...no kids...issued subpeona to produce kids. Jan 25

Not this again!! Not another 2016!!

First of all, my son posted a clip of Biden from 1995 where he is supporting the balanced budget amendment. Biden states he will cut Social Security and Medicare to balance the budget. Son shared it on FB, so he got it from someone, so it's making the rounds. I found the clip on YouTube.


Then I saw this article:

McCarthy
Power Feeds on Fear
Film Description

McCarthy chronicles the rise and fall of Joseph McCarthy, the Wisconsin senator who came to power after a stunning victory in an election no one thought he could win. Once in office, he declared that there was a vast conspiracy threatening America — emanating not from a rival superpower, but from within. Free of restraint or oversight, he conducted a crusade against those he accused of being enemies of the state, a chilling campaign marked by groundless accusations, bullying intimidation, grandiose showmanship and cruel victimization. With lawyer Roy Cohn at his side, he belittled critics, spinning a web of lies and distortions while spreading fear and confusion. After years in the headlines, he was brought down by his own excesses and overreach. But his name lives on linked to the modern-day witch hunt we call “McCarthyism.”

Going to be traveling to Boulder with family and my little grandson. (1.5 years old and never seen snow)
Looks like Boulder probably won't have snow. Is there sledding near Boulder?

Son and DIL will be taking the shuttle to Eldora to ski. But it seems like Eldora is a bit too much just to take my grandson sledding. He will probably enjoy sledding for a half hour or so.

Thanks in advance!

I get this email from Mitch McConnell.




I don't know why I'm on their lists...I think it was when a bunch of us got together and spammed their online surveys..

We’re not sure what we did to deserve this video, but here we are. This is ‘I’m a Barbie Girl’, if it had been written in 1835.

Somebody has made a… ‘classical’ version of Aqua’s 1997 pop hit ‘Barbie Girl’.

The arrangement sees the iconic 90s song performed in a new-age operatic style, accompanied by a Chopin nocturne on the piano and some slightly sinister narrative passages.

It’s conceptual and whacky (just why is Barbie played by a pink ‘Ken’, when there’s an actual female Barbie in the video they could’ve used?) and a little dark in places – but also an undeniable must-see.

He had a rally in San Antonio. About 600 people were there.

Afterward, he took as many selfies as possible, but he finally had to give up before he could get to us. I was only about 20 feet away from him when he spoke.

Other than a few Trumpers invading the rally, it was a great event!
