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."

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.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
