leftieNanner's JournalHere's a thought about shopping and boycotts
Whether you are religious or not, why not forego all non-essential shopping for Lent? From now until Easter Sunday? At that point, you are permitted to purchase chocolate rabbits.
Makes a big statement and saves $$$.
Interesting little item
My husband grew up as a neighbor to a doctor's family in the San Francisco area. That family subsequently moved to Oahu. The doctor was an obstetrician.
We just recently found out that he delivered Barack Obama!
And I don't think he ever traveled to Kenya.
So I have shaken the hand that first touched our amazing President!
Watching Rachel now.
Being brave.
Damn! Don't show me his orange effing face!
Ever. Again.
Regarding the ethics agreement
That the incoming administration is required to sign by law. That TFG has, as yet refused to sign. What if he runs out the clock and never signs it? He will still be inaugurated on January 20, won't he? With zero transition planning? And his ability to raise as much dark $$ as he wants?
Who would hold him to account? No one ever has.
Red states to swing states?
This election may surprise us. There are a few red states which might be in play for the Democrats.
Wouldn't it be interesting if, for example, Ron Desantis has to certify Harris Walz as President/VP elect for Florida? Or Greg Abbott in Texas?
I relish the thought!
I saw Hillary Clinton yesterday in Seattle
She was remarkable! It was for her book tour. She would have been such a fine President.
DJT stock!
Down to 13.70 today!
It's always nice to start the weekend with a laugh 🤣
My LTE Regarding TSF's "leave it up to the states" Comments
Our normally very sensible and smart Seattle Times printed Maggie Haberman's NYT article about Smelvis's comments on abortion. I called them out. See below.
Today's (4/9/24) front page NYT story regarding the former President's remarks on reproductive rights was disingenuous at best and dishonest at worst. The headline sounds so benign. Just leave it up to the states. Implied in those remarks, though, is that he is A-OK fine with the complete bans currently in effect in many states. He doesn't have any problem with women dying of sepsis or losing their ability to bear future children. He thinks that 10 year old girls should be forced to carry their rapist's baby. He thinks it's his business and that of other legislators to interfere in women's healthcare decisions. He thinks that today's Arizona ruling that reinstates a century-old law that criminalizes all abortion care for women, their doctors, and anyone who assists in that process (UBER driver?) should stand.
Why don't you put that story on your front page?

May I suggest that you write something similar to your local newspaper?
