Another one I loved, that popped up right after Michael Cohen got raided: My Attorney Got Arrested.
Chuck Schumer. Gutless Wonder.
That title was made for someone like him. We need a firebrand. One of those back bench bomb throwers. The CONS got one with Newt Gingrich in 1980. Theyve been mowing us down ever since.
Hang in there as best you can, my friend.
I bailed out for two days - last Wednesday and Thursday. Just couldnt bear it. Lost a favorite - and quite elderly - cat Monday morning, and Wednesdays SCOTUS announcement took me from bad to worse. Couldnt even deal with Rachel Maddow, whos become a North Star to me these days.
I found that breaking news can be taken in easier here, because of all our informed and compassionate attributes.
And I guess sometimes we need a break. Gardening or walking around amidst tall trees can be helpful and therapeutic. Or along a shoreline - lake, river, or ocean. Or hole up inside and watch either Food Network or the home improvement/house flipping shows, or Star Trek marathons if you can find them. BBC can sometimes help you there. Star Trek always helps me. I also recommend Whose Line Is It Anyway? Which has been running at length on one of the cable channels. OR music radio. Or books!
Theres also YouTube and other video. Ted Talks can be genuinely fascinating. Or go find the clips of Stephen Colbert monologues, or Colbert when Jon Stewart guests, or Bill Maher segments.
Sometimes its just essential to take a short break. Or, what I found, this particular weekend, that came along just when I needed an emotional, spiritual, and moral pick-me-up: the rally! It renewed my spirit. The people, the folk art and amazing creativity to be found in the posters, the little kids and dogs that are always a nice little extra at these things, and the friendly harmonious vibes.
Highly recommend music, either your own, your favorite station, or live music.
Also highly recommended: CRAFTING!!! Make something. For yourself or for someone deserving a gift.
And one more recommendation: go visit a dog park. Youre likely to be chuckling by the time you leave.
Good one.
Take a number.
For everybody on this thread, just one thing to keep in mind.
Its YOUR money. Its YOUR decision what you want to do with it or who (or what) you want to leave it to. Period.
Yes, DAMMIT! The bad guys are ALREADY on with ads
for another great Supreme Court Justice! Add placed by something I think is called Judicial Crisis Network.
I just saw it on MSNBC no less.
Sorry to shout but WHERE THE FUCK ARE OUR ADS?????
