Charlie, All of us who live in the upper midwest have to laugh at the Trump people for moving everything indoors because it is in the 20 s! What a bunch of wimps!
Thanks, didn’t know about the staffer’s move but glad they think they have any power, what so ever. How sweet.
I’m trying to stay out of any bubble but it’s not easy. On my way to a city I love, Seattle, well aware that the city needs to get busy on addressing homeless encampments. Apparently they are being upstaged by Portland and they can’t have that!
I loved the 32 hour work week discussion. I have friends in France that will tell people how well that has worked out for them and their country (it has not). While it seems to give people three days off every week (not necessarily consecutive although almost everyone gets Sunday off), the loss in productivity and the shit show of catching up on work after your day(s) off just have not created the work environment everyone thought they were getting. Never mind the fact that businesses are paying for 40 hours of work but only getting 32 hours of actual work.
I don't understand all of the surprise surrounding the disclosure of the Biden Bubble because I think everyone assumed, particularly after the debate debacle, that it existed.
I was really confused about the Equal Rights Amendment crap that floated around social media on Friday. I was busy with other stuff and never got a chance to find out what in the Hell had gone on to generate it. When I finally had some free time, I had forgotten it because I knew it was all BS.
OMG! Loved the smack down of Katie Miller. That was priceless!
For the last 4 years we have ascended in a bubble. That bubble burst with the last election, we are now falling back to earth and there is no net to save us.
The key words for the next four years…cruelty, corruption, incompetence, and destruction. We put the pin to our own bubble because enough people refused to accept the reality of Trump and the oligarchs. The check has come due and the cult and remaining sane prof this country are going to pay their check.
Why hasn’t anyone villainize Jill Stein and her voters for diverting enough votes that could have changed the election results?
I believe that the real patriots ( not the Patriots in Name Only) and the those of us that truly believe that there is some good in everyone lived this last decade long bubble believing that what we face, starting tomorrow was mere rhetoric to scare us, like a horror story that is fiction.
Literally tomorrow that bad dream becomes the reality.
No where to hide, no white knights, no silver bullets to protect us from the predators posed to pounce on us all. All the doors are locked and we have gotten the call that the predators are inside the house.
We have no safety blanket to comfort us. We now have the reality that the democrats are hollow vessels. The news papers and television media have surrendered without a shot fired. The three branches of government are salivating over the cruelty they can inflect on the population.
The griff store is open for business!
We are about to be ruled by a “mad king”.
Business will be allowed to deregulate ( if they pay a large tribute to the king).
Air quality, water purity, safety standards, education standards, overtime restrictions, wage growth, and child labor laws, and voter rights will become a fading memory.
1776…taxation without representation is tyranny…the nightmare begin tomorrow when the flag is raised to full mast disrespecting the memory and protocol of honoring a president who has died, Jimmy Carter). The flag is supposed to stay at half mast for 30 days following the death of a president. But Trump also would not allow the flag to be at half mass in honor of McCain.
We are now living in a country with no honor, no ethics, morality , or even reality.
I remember being at Obama’s first inauguration…. Cold as fuck, and we all huddled and made history. They’re afraid some shit is gonna go down. They don’t even trust their own people.
Don't remember much. My sixth grade teacher, down in Mississippi, sent me to her car to listen to the radio and bring reports to the class of the JFK assassination and aftermath. My Democrat parents were heartbroken.
As to his inauguration outdoors, for the people to see, my guess is that JFK was actually a real man, as opposed to commander bone-spurs. Too fragile to risk his rats' nest 'do to pay tribute to American war dead on a rainy day in Europe, can't expect him to be out in the cold for us. Besides, makes it easy for him to make excuses about the crowd size.
Then why are we still hanging fire on a Constitutional convention that has been on hold as it waits, and wait, and waits for the states to ratify a convention - with no way to govern while the idiots squabble, and this has been unresolved for over a hundred years? The clause inserted at the top of the XXVIII Amendment was inserted there by the misogynists for the express purpose of keeping it from being ratified - it is administrative, not part of the amendment. The amendment is as legal as the one hanging over this country like the sword of Damocles. Unless the Constitution can now be fashioned to fit which ever prejudice gives the most votes.....
Gonna have to stay with free, for awhile...blew a wad trying help the VP becoming the next President. Rest easy I read everyword you post. Thanks, C.Mode'

Auggie and Eli are in the woods hunting for Democracy.
In what bubble are you living in where Cillizza is still considered a journalist?
I would like it if it were so that Biden added the amendment. I need more convincing.

Always love the dog pics. Brightens my day.

Yes, indeed. Eli is a noble beast!

If Trump can declassify documents with his mind, then why can't Biden proclaim the ERA as law?
Dear Charlie, Thanks for the bubble update. PS Olivia Troye is awesome♥️
