Who is sick and tired of seeing, hearing and reading about this criminal? Show of hands please. I’ll start. 🙌🙌🙌

His orange ass sucks the oxygen from the room. His childish fetishes leave us stunned.

The media know he isn’t legit nor is he eligible, the SC knows it, hell everyone knows it. What is up with all of this? MAGA Mike, you want to attend a purity ball, knock your socks off. While you’re at it, please vacate my 72 year old vagina. The poor thing has had enough already without you creeping in.

In fact, all y’all Repubs leave that chile alone already. She has done her work so get out!

Back to the Orange Shitgibbon. We thinking people know who he is. Hell, non thinking people know who he is. Everyone knows who this piece of dog doo is. Why are elected officials so afraid of him? Never mind, no guts. Got it.

This seriously ill man, and I mean that sincerely, thinks it’s within his power to end democracy. Yes, he does. He’s a thug. Among other nasty names.

Are we going to let him do that? I say no we are not. I’m not afraid of this monster and I know you guys aren’t either.
Show of hands. Who will fight this blight on our nation?

Hey Gang, I Need a Short Break.

I’ve got lots going on right now. 99 almost 100 year old Mom to tend, several pooties with health issues and yes, my own mental health. I’m pooped, kids. Just effing pooped.

I’m nobody important here but the APR gang worries a bit if someone goes missing so I want to ward that off. So, no worries, I just need to rest and actually sleep through an entire night! Not too much to ask, right?

I’m looking forward to seeing you all in a few.

BTW, APR gang, look at that comma after pooped! You have edumacated me! Woo hoo!

See you real soon. All y’all behave. Looking at you gc2!

And I’ve got nuthin. After hitting “refresh” 20 times I figured I’d make a space for us to gather and further appreciate all of the hard work by Greg, Kev and Georgia.

Discuss!

If a true APR appears I’ll delete this ridiculously meager effort.

This will be short. I need to be with you guys tonight. Oh, I knew they were going to approve this woman to the highest court of the land, of course they were. But damn. Just damn. The highest court of the land has now become a laughingstock. Unfortunately. And it already was after Kavanaugh. I am mad, sad, distraught, disbelieving of the cold calculus of one Mitchell McConnell. But not really. I am terrified. This is how the United States of America now works?
One week to see if the rest of this country is still sane. I think so, I hope so. But, I am so terrified. These people seem to win no matter what. I am not trying to be a downer, I’m simply scared. Just so scared. Sorry for the downer post, not trying to be negative. These fuckers just keep pulling everything out, against all odds. Yes, I have voted as has our family, straight blue. Yes, we have donated all over the place. Due to age(s) we can no longer do the activism we used to. Just trying to answer questions in advance. I knew this was coming and still it threw me for a loop. These bastards just keep getting away with this. I simply need you guys tonight. Thanks

For four long, nasty, chaotic, mean mother fu*$ing years this fat (sorry/not sorry), stupid, chaotic, demented, asshole has been our *pResident. He has lived rent free in my head, caused me untold grief with his very being. I am done. I believe in us. Us! As in we the people with brains, hearts and critical thinking skills. And we are beyond pissed. We are not going to stand idly by and grant this orange shitgibbon abomination of a whatever it sprang from one more freaking minute of our time nor our lives.

This sad and tragic experiment in “let’s see how to destroy our country” brought to us by tea baggers (holy crap), McConnell (evil incarnate court stacker and financial rapist), et al is over on November 3rd. It. Is. Over.

For twelve hours, twelve hours, residents of Georgia and Texas have waited in line to vote early. And they stayed! They have my heart.
All the while numbnutz spouts demented lies. They stayed. Thank you fellow citizens and travelers.

I will be early voting tomorrow in NC, first day. And I will stay in solidarity with my fellow Americans who did it in Georgia and Texas.

Those in charge (just for now I hope) can throw all they want at this and at us. But, no pun intended, here’s the deal. We know better. They cannot break us, cannot intimidate us. We are on the right side of the arc of moral justice and we are pissed off to boot.

I won’t apologize for this rant as it is heartfelt. And when the mango Mussolini goes down I will remove my safety pin from my shirt.

Biden/Harris 2020!

PS Love all y’all.

A few weeks ago I wrote about Trump signs largely being absent here in Wilmington, NC, David Rouzer country. I wanted to share the hope this lack of roadside litter gave me.

Today things got even brighter. My neighbor, a dyed in the wool, lifelong Republican texted me to tell me she will be early voting for Biden/Harris and that Trump must be kicked out of office. Her demographic? White, college educated, suburban woman realtor. She has never voted for a Democrat before and is very connected in local Republican politics.

This message from her shocked me but then made me realize that yes, these folks really are out there and have had more than enough of Trump and his insanity.

I don’t have a picture of it but she also included a shot of a bumper sticker seen locally. It had a photo of Trump with a caption reading “Does this Ass make my car look fat?” Why, yes it does!

NC gonna git ‘er done for Biden/Harris!

Congressman David Rouzer was a protégée of Senator Jesse Helms, still refered to around these parts as “Senator No”. His counterpart at the time, Senator Lauch Faircloth, was refered to as “Likewise I’m sure”.

So Sir Rouzer, Trumper par excellence, has been blowing the Trump horn, yada vaccine something yada, scientists (srsy?), etc.

A funny thing is happening. Totally anecdotal here, mind you. Trump signs, flags and so forth were literally everywhere. On pickemup trucks, boats, in yards, all over. And, like a miracle, they’re gone. Nothing. No signs. Just gone. There is nothing. If they made noise I would call their lack total silence. It’s weird. The nothing is weird. They. Are. Gone.

Also anecdotal, most folks I’ve spoken to are voting Biden/Harris. Here. In Rouzer/Trump country. I’m astonished. I don’t push for fear of alienating these folks but hot damn!

And, even better, NC Ballot Trax is working for mail in voting! I helped my 99 year old Mom fill out her ballot, put it in the mail, got her registered for tracking online, received a notice the next day that the post office had her ballot and it was enroute to the county board of elections and then received notice today that it had arrived and been acccepted and certified.

Dare we hope? Oh do we dare to hope??

I am just so pumped right now that I had to share with our beautiful community. Hope!

Someone wrote this on a Nextdoor post in Los Angeles.
I WAS JUST WONDERING... I’ve been wondering why this entire
country seems to be under a cloud of
constant misery.
Why we all seem to be Russians
waiting in line for toilet paper, meat, Lysol.
Hoarding yeast and sourdough starter
“in case we can’t get bread”,
Buying stamps so that one of our most
beloved institutions might survive.
Why we all look like we are in bad need of a haircut, or a facial or a reason to dress up again and go somewhere.
Anywhere
There is no art in this White House.
There is no literature or poetry in this
White House. No music.
No Kennedy Center award celebrations.
No books except references that were there years before.
There are no pets in this White House.
No loyal man’s best friend. No Socks the family cat.
No kids science fairs.
No times when this president takes off his blue suit-red tie uniform and becomes human, except when he puts on his white shirt- khaki
pants uniform and hides from Americans to play golf.
There are no images of the first family
enjoying themselves together in a moment of relaxation.
No Obamas on the beach in Hawaii
moments, or Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport, no Reagans on horseback, no Kennedys playing touch football on the Cape.
I was thinking the other day of the summer when George H couldn’t catch a fish and all the grandkids made signs and counted the fish-less days.
And somehow, even if you didn’t even like GHB, you got caught up in the joy of a family that loved each other and had fun.
Where did that country go? Where did all of the fun and joy and expressions of love and happiness go?
We used to be a country that did the ice bucket challenge and raised millions for charity.
We used to have a president that calmed and soothed the nation instead dividing it. We used to have presidents that smiled a lot and used to joke a bit during press conferences.
And a First Lady that planted a garden
instead of ripping one out.
The First Lady Lived in the same house with the president. Now she lives in another state with her son. It is truly a house divided; a house without joy, without laughter -a dark, unhappy house of anger and vengeance.
We are rudderless and joyless.
We have lost the cultural aspects of
society that make America great.
We have lost our mojo. Our fun, our happiness.
The cheering on of others.
The shared experiences of humanity that makes it all worth it.
The challenges AND the triumphs that we shared and celebrated.
The unique can-do spirit Americans
have always been known for.
We are lost.
We have lost so much
In such a short time.

I read this today and wanted to share it as it speaks to all of our hearts. Let’s stay strong and look forward to President Biden, Vice President Harris and regaining all that we have lost these last four years and striving further to create more, new and better opportunities for everyone.

In solidarity, strength and love,

Nan

I could just cry. Our postman just came to deliver our mail at 6:45 PM. On Saturday.

I saw him go by so grabbed 20 bucks as a tip and waited. As he approached our mailbox he stopped to hand me our mail. I offered him the tip and do you know what he said?? I’ll be sure that your regular carrier gets this. That’s what he said. This sweet young man with the kind eyes and beautiful smile said that. I told him no, this was for him as a thank you from us. That we take good care of our regular carrier, which we do. He thanked me and said he was just so happy to have work.
I also told him that we would not stand by and see the USPS destroyed and he smiled so wide and thanked me.

This, during a raging pandemic, stemming from the living piece of excrement who squats in our House. This.

I will turn myself inside out to fight this bull crap from the “stable genius”. There needs to be no more of this, ever.

Biden 2020 for a return to humane leadership.

Primary Wars Pie Recipes

There’s nothing better than a great pie. We share lots of pie recipes here and I think we could use a few more to see us through the DKos primary wars. As a survivor, barely, of the great Primary Wars of 2008, allow me to share some family favorites.

These have fortified and sustained me eaten with a good hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk. Also, wine works with them when times are really treacherous.

Or any other beverage.

So, first off…

Strawberry Pie by my Mom (98 years old)

1 quart of strawberries

2 T cornstarch

1 cup sugar

1 baked pie shell

½ pint whipping cream

Chop or mash ½ of berries. Add sugar and cornstarch. Cook until transparent. Put remainder of berries in pie shell. Pour mixture over them. Chill. Serve with whipped cream.

Mom’s Apple Pie

6 apples

½ to 2/3 cup sugar

2 T flour

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 T butter

Pare, slice and cut apples into small pieces. Sift dry ingredients together and mix with apples. Fill pie pan with crust (the easy kind). Add apple mixture and dot with butter. Cover with top crust. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes then 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

So, add your favorite to sustain us during the Daily Kos Primary War Extravaganza!

These are horrible times. I don’t mean to make light of them. I DON’T make light of them. I hope that we will eventually come together when we have a nominee. We absolutely have to.

Bon appetit!

Real quick. Going in tomorrow and should be home Tuesday. I have 2:1 AV Block. Feels crummy. I should be good as new.

I'm taking my wonderful DK quilt with me for warmth and cuddling.

Will miss APR dang it.

See you all soon. Keep resisting!

I have appealed to the Help Desk with no resolution. Everything is BIG. The typeface is huge. We had this issue awhile back, it seemed to be resolved. Now it’s back.

They tell me to work some magic on my end. It doesn’t work. My end won’t let me.

So, I’m gone for awhile until this gets resolved. I’ve been here for over thirteen years, I’m a TU, and feel I no longer matter.

I have contacted the Help Desk. Their “fix”, to be done on my part, doesn’t work.

Not important with all that is going on in our country but when you shut down voices, especially now… not so smart.

I hope to be back when what I read doesn’t JUMP off the page at me.
