So I can read this again. Ive said variants of the sentiment in your first sentence quite a few times in my offline life.
Have been a more conscientious shopper since tRump took office
Have foregone buying a tv, and Ive passed on several pairs of shoes. Am wearing out old purses/bags. I like thrift store shopping.
I use vinegar, dish soap, and occasionally regular bleach as my primary cleaning agents around the house. Are cheap and Im not buying as much from chemical companies. Was done with oven cleaner years ago - that shit is toxic awful. I could go on about big chem, but wont.
Adopted using cloth napkins before he took office, and dont buy nearly as many paper towels. I dont bother folding them, bleh, no - I just shove them in a drawer.
Bought carbon offsets last year for a flight. And, am making efforts to drive less/purchase gas less often.
Its as much a protest against tRump as it is about conserving in the face of global warming. I still buy stupid stuff, but less than I used to.
So, youre not alone - is already happening in my household.
During the first segment, she discussed barr's timeline and involvement in this previously reported:
Prosecutors unlikely to charge Trump Org executives, sources sayBy Erica Orden and Kara Scannell, CNN
Updated 7:17 PM ET, Fri July 12, 2019
For months, federal prosecutors in New York have examined whether company officials broke the law, including in their effort to reimburse Michael Cohen for hush-money payments he made to women alleging affairs with his former boss, President Donald Trump.
In recent weeks, however, their investigation has quieted, the people familiar with the inquiry said, and prosecutors now don't appear poised to charge any Trump Organization executives in the probe that stemmed from the case against Cohen.

I've really enjoyed ❤️ week
And would like to give all my heart-givers an extra . Had a nicer week just because you spent a moment on my behalf.
Has been good to hear from some of those who dont post as much as they used to am looking at you, Maeve 💙.
Im so very fond of DU and DUers, its not even funny. Except for when it is, and then, sometimes its maddening, but I love it here all the same.
Fight for them to do this the right way: subscribe to a McClatchy paper
Right now. Today.
Heres an example of why Im a digital subscriber to the Miami Herald:
No signs, no gate, few guards: Are Mar-a-Lago intruders actually trespassing?

Lu Jing, 56, told the court Tuesday that she understood club security didnt want me there after she went through the open front gate of the private, members-only club in Palm Beach on Dec. 18. She left, only to return to the presidents primary residence through an un-gated service road accessible from South Ocean Boulevard. Prosecutors called Lus escapade into Mar-a-Lago a calculated decision.

Also, while on their site, I broke one of my rules and clicked on some banner ads (even though I dont want any cowboy boots - like ever again in my life).
Oh yeah, I've enjoyed seeking those handles
I remember from years ago or some frequent posters that maybe somehow landed in the doghouse just recently who I think should have more, and then theres those who I might disagree with a lot of the time, but nonetheless make me think a little harder about some something. I have enjoyed the process, and I feel like I know personalities on DU better for it.
I received more hearts yesterday, and it really is a lovely boost. Im still finding more folks to give hearts to this morning, and have already gone well over my original budget, but meh, its worth it - is too much fun.
All that said, am glad hearts week is for a limited time, as I like the rather sublime just-another-voice quality that DU provides.
Happy Valentines DU ❤️
Get a DOJ.... trunks for bootlicking
Is good stuff, JHB. Still has me chuckling at the end of the day.
Well put.
Superbly concise.
Am journaling to comment more later, as I must go run around the snaggle-toothed cinder blocks at this time.
