Ugh, like we needed another reminder that this administration and everyone in it is terrible. "Best People" my patoot.

 

Those poor kids.

Did you see the news that the Swamp Rat and Billy Barr have declared NYC, Seattle and Portland to be "anarchist cities," and on that basis will try to withhold all federal funding? Apparently they are "researching" to find others. No doubt they'll all be blue cities, in blue states, in the blue parts of the United States, where the majority of Americans reside. "We the People." Ha! It's "Us, the GOP Trumpites, trying to stage a takeover of the government of the United States."

 

I hope they're busy at Club Fed with gold plating the sink/toilet fixture in the cell reserved for Swampy. I also hope the Big Bad Barr gets John Mitchell's former digs -- the "disgraced Attorney General isolation cell."

~~Growling, Lee~~

They seem to be doing rather well at it.

A minority president, minority senate, now a minority court - all nice and legal.

Yeah... I'm, frankly terrified. I was hoping I'd never see my government go full authoritarian. Please vote.

 

Hugs!

Me too. Could you have ever imagined having to ponder what the military would do if a voted out President declared the election invalid, and refused to surrender office to the President-elect? What if he surrounds the White House with his heavily armed anonymous little green men who have been practicing in Portland and Seattle? Along with the White Nationalist Division of the Drumpf Ee-jit Legion, it might be a formidable group of donkeys out there stroking their long guns and fantasizing. Would the Army cite the Posse Comitatus Act and stay home, or would they respond to the urgent pleas for help from -- who? The Democratic Senate? We need a majority in that Chamber. 

 

How about John and the Supremes? Would they sacrifice their principles and supposed commitment to the Constitution and the Rule of Law to support their Appointer-in-Chief?

 

I think the American democracy is teetering on the brink, and the American Experiment is on the fast track to failure. This is the most important election in my life, and I lived through Watergate and the Cuban Missile crisis.

 

POWER TO THE PEOPLE -- including us. VOTE!

I'm kind of hoping that the US collapses just like the Soviets did and we mostly fracture into smaller units along ideological lines. I'd like to accomplish that with a minimum of bloodshed, but I think the military is too pumped for that to be a reasonable expectation.

 

Best case of course is a massive blue wave that lasts a couple of generations. The Republican party dissolves and the Democrats split into conservative and progressive wings.

 

Vote like your life depends on it. Because it does.

 

Hugs!

Ouch! Collapses? Into small chunks? Entropy? I hope not, but I totally agree with the "massive blue wave."

Fixing things will require the wealth of the world's wealthiest nation. If Biden is elected, and the Dems control both Houses, his first term and a big proportion of his second will be trying to pick up the pieces. We've got to insist the Feds restore and improve upon the environmental protections, consumer protections, election protections, health-care protections, infrastructure rehabilitation, space exploration ... and I'm sure I missed some categories ... that those jackasses have torn asunder to increase the income equality. And I value the international cooperation of the Western Democracies, because Putin is a threat, and so is Xi. Putin runs a second rate country, but he and Trump are succeeding in dragging us down to that level.  Xi runs the biggest country in the world, and is buying the US. I want to live in a Western Democracy large and powerful enough to protect us.

 

I prefer English to Rooski or Mandarin, and transitioning with all of you safely to being stoned all alone in the town square. Even by being on this site, we've exposed ourselves to that unless our country can/will protect us. Ya know?

 

Damn. All this just takes too much testosterone.

As a veteran myself (as are a number of us here) I am totally disgusted by the current regime's systematic destruction of our democracy.  The GOP has become adept at playing the system to overrule the will of the majority of Americans.

This does seem like a possibility.  However I am clinging to the unlikely possibility that we can somehow unite and reconnect with our allies.  That is the only way to resist this authoritarian wave that is moving over the world.  Unfortunately, it has taken root here as well and is being encouraged by many of our own politicians.

I'm not optimistic.

Yeah.  But I'm getting old anyway.  

Hate it for the kids tho.

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
