As many times as I have had a "friend" turn on me, you would think I would be used to it by now.
At least it doesn't hurt me any more. I just have one last thing to say to this person--
If you are going to be two-faced, you could at least make one of them pretty.
Well, it seems like this is all we hear about any more---and of course, I have some opinions.......
Let's face the facts, we will NEVER be able to control the guns! There are just too many of them. But let's just say, for the sake of discussion, that the government started controlling the AMMUNITION MAKERS. As in, pass enough laws that they can no longer make so much. If you can't find baby formula, why not the same problem with ammo? No ammunition makes the guns pretty useless, doesn't it?
The lawmakers and others are targeting the wrong thing by going after the gun makers. It's time to think outside the box.
I (mostly) try to avoid the news. I check the weather, but for the most part, every single thing the news says is a "story" is just that--a story. Full of a lies and half truths, maybe a tiny bit of truth--but heaven knows we must terrify the American people, so they will keep tuning in--because, you know, RATINGS. And ratings equals money.
So these days I try desperately to find something to do, to fill the darkness of these late winter days. With Covid, we rarely go out anywhere, and I must admit this is not a terrible thing--52 years of marriage, and we are happiest at home with each other.
SO---my daughter was after me to hook a "self portrait" rug, since I did one of Wade years ago. I got busy with designing it, when something strange happened--another project just fell into my lap.
I have toyed with the idea of hooking a valance for the center of my bay window, but I had no idea what to do. Then, as I searched for drawings of leaves online to get some inspiration for my self portrait rug background, I found the most amazing website--all royalty free drawings. And in there was a grapevine--
And the rest of the world will have to wait a while, because I knew I HAD to hook this.
I thank my dear friend Betty for teaching me to hook.
In my mind, today should be declared a National Day of ANGER. Not mourning, although we certainly ARE mourning. But let's face what we are really feeling.
ANGER. Trump attempted a coup, and he is still walking free, a year later. The many Congressmen (and women) who supported, and even helped him, are also free. Getting paid salary's by the American taxpayer. THIS IS WRONG!!
Many law enforcement people DIED, and the man who is mainly responsible has yet to pay the price for this.
And let us also not forget the hundreds of THOUSANDS of American lives that were lost due to the Sniveling Orange Assholes refusal to deal with Covid. Had we had a RESPONSIBLE president, I do not believe the death toll would be this high.
So here we are, one year later.
Still waiting for America to come back to what is right. For it to be the America most of us grew up in, the America we are proud of, the America we love.
Is there ANYONE, in ANY position of "power" (In other words, politicians) who is willing to stand up and deal with this? To help America heal?
Sadly, I do not see anyone who can fix this. America was doomed the day the Orange Idiot became president.
I hope everyone who voted for him is happy with what they have done. Because they have condemned us all to Hell.
I am glad I don't have to go to sleep tonight knowing I was one of those idiots.
However, I find comfort in going to sleep tonight, knowing full well that ASSOLINI and his kids probably are not sleeping very well, with all they have hanging over them. This makes me smile, and in this messed up world right now, feeling like smiling is a thing to be treasured!
Tonight I was made aware that the orange asshole has a speech planned for January 6th, the one year anniversary of his coup attempt and insurrection.
I will be HEAVILY monitoring this, and ANY "news" outlet that covers it--
you will henceforth be dead to me, to my family, and to as many other American patriots as we can get to join with us.
This is NOT news, and should be ignored. Sadly, I know many will cover it for RATINGS (you know, money money money ). The thought that you would air this makes me physically ill. You are going to give a domestic terrorist AIR TIME?? Of course FOX (FUKS) news will air it, because they hate America. But as for the rest? Go ahead, I dare you. The American people are fed up with all the bullshit you try to stuff down our throats every day. MOST of what you "report" is just clickbait to keep people tuning in, and stoking fear. Those of us with a brain---and there are many, believe me--know that very little that you tell us is true. The American people have had ENOUGH.
Get this through your heads--
TRUMP DOES NOT MATTER TO ANYONE BUT HIMSELF.
Trump will be in prison by 2024.
My husband and I were vaccinated as soon as it was possible.
We did this not only for ourselves, but for anyone else we might come into contact with and possibly infect.
We are here today because we got polio vaccines, and measles vaccines, and mumps vaccines. We got swine flu shots when the need came. We also vaccinated our children! Back then, your child could not attend public school without proof of vaccination.
We would have had them vaccinated anyway, because we are responsible parents.
We ALMOST saw light at the end of the tunnel, and then the Covid variant Delta came.
Well folks---I am tired of reading about truly sick people who cannot get treated because the hospitals are filled up with un-vaccinated, stinking, stupid people!
I do not blame children in any way. The "adults" in this world--and I use that term loosely--have betrayed them, failed to protect them.
I think that any child under 16 should be treated for covid as needed.
As for any other UN-VACCINATED person--they should not be admitted to the hospital, they should be left to die in the parking lot. Why spend the time, resources and space to save someone who didn't give a shit about their own life to begin with?? They MADE their choice, and it was not the choice to live, so why should we save them? Especially at the expense of people who have cancer, or are hurt in car accidents, or who have other illnesses.
"Survival of the fittest" is the way nature works, and those who have chosen to not take a life saving vaccine do not have a right to have our medical system fighting to keep them alive if they get covid!!
THEY MADE THEIR CHOICE. THEY DECIDED TO TAKE THEIR CHANCES!
Maybe this is natures way of thinning the herd, by getting rid of the anti-vax idiots.
Bring it!
So tonight I see that Donald Trump Jr has gone on another of his delusional tirades on his Twitter. He actually claimed that the indictments today were no different than Putin poisoning Navalny! (Quick, Donny--check your underwear!!) On second thought you probably don't want to-you probably crapped in it when the indictments were unsealed.
Then he went on to rant about how "They spent 5 years looking, and this is all they got?" Um--NO, dummy, this is just the BEGINNING of "what they got".
Let me explain it to you. The truth is always there, it just takes enough digging and desire to find it. The truth of the Trump Org is that they have been committing tax crimes for YEARS (among other crimes), and lucky for us it is all documented. Numbers don't lie.
Now set this whole mess aside for a moment--and consider all the GOP members who are fighting against having a commission to investigate Jan. 6. If they have nothing to hide, what is the problem? Well the problem is that many of them DO have something to hide--they were part of the insurrection, and they know full well the trail will lead to each of them, and they are scared. No one hides any more, there are too many cell phones and other ways of tracking people and what they are doing. SO--let's pretend this didn't happen, and maybe it will go away.
Except it won't. They screamed about Benghazi for years, they screamed about Bill Clintons affair for years. Pardon me if I tend to believe that Trumps insurrection was a wee bit more serious than Bill getting a blow job.
The truth finds it's way out--even though it usually takes longer than we would wish. It's like Karma--I don't always get to see it in action, but I have total faith in it. And when I DO get to witness it, it is sweeter than I could have imagined. And Karma began today for the Trump family.
