Why can't we obsess on THIS stuff instead of that orange baboon

who relentlessly tries to crowd out every headline and every minute of news coverage? THIS stuff is what inspires and impresses. THIS stuff!

I wanna see more of THIS stuff! Too bad we can’t send that orange guy to the moon, and then just leave him there.

Happy Birthday, Deuxcents!

Thank you for your wisdom and perspective! We all need it by the truckload.

What a great post, CousinIT! The "Toxicity Team". That's a good way to describe it.

And debm55, I can remember years ago, when someone told me that “family” can be whatever you define it to be. It doesn’t have to be by bloodlines. Mine isn’t. I’m adopted (from infancy). And I really never felt totally, truly, intimately connected, for many reasons, til I finally built my own.

“Family” is whatever YOU say it is - for YOU. You have one here, for example, where people care about YOU - even “once removed” like it is in this DU construct.

We care. We’re a sounding board. And we’re here whenever you need that.

Our Call to Action email that my Indivisible group issues every week

always aims to keep our readers engaged, or at least, informed about these things, so they’re ready to vote - and to do so intelligently.

We won’t be letting up, anytime soon.

Oooooooooh BABY!!!

Is that the final drop-dead sum? Or does it keep growing as interest adds in, every day he doesn’t pay?

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
