I got desperately sad and worried...then I donated a lot (for me) of money to Joe and senate candidates...all in the span of 2 hours.

Now I’m ready to take a big knife to the knife fight.

I avoid swearing around children. Most of my yelling is when I'm alone though. When my five year old grandsons are around, I watch my language.

They're old enough to know the words, but I don't like to set a bad example.

I will.

And tomorrow, we move to even greater action. We can show dearest RBG how much we love her by doing everything we can to exterminate the virus, Covid and Reputincan.

Rest in peace, Justice Ginsburg. You were truly one-of-a-kind. We will honor your legacy by fighting for your legacy and for our country.

I screamed and cried and yelled fuck fuck fuck. It's a wonder the neighbors didn't call the cops.

Plus an American flag like it belongs to their group and nobody else. And do they put a light on it at night as is proper? Nope.

I really only started watching MSNBC for the DNC. I've started watching somewhat regularly since then. Maybe that was a mistake.

Somehow I managed to miss Grant Imahara's death two months ago and it just broke me when I found out last night. I couldn't believe how hard I cried. A lot of it was relieving built up stress, but also I am a huge Mythbusters fan and it's just so sad to see someone that young and talented leave us so suddenly.

Anyway, tonight was a comforting fun time spent watching old Mythbusters episodes on YouTube until I happened to pass by a Twitter tab and noticed 'RIP Queen' was trending. I'm also a big Queen fan and the remaining guys are getting up there so, heart in throat, I checked to see if Roger Taylor and Brian May are still with us. Totally blindsided that it was RGB. I yelled 'NO!' at my computer so many times so loudly that my neighbors surely heard me.

Sometimes we can all use little pep talk.



I have the early voting date in BIG RED LETTERS on my calendar. The day can't come soon enough. We're getting rid of that useless pile of flesh pretending to be president - for RGB, for ourselves, for the country.
