[Nancy, tapping the steering wheel. Phone rings the Jetson's Doorbell ring.] "What?!"

"What? Where the fuck are you? Is gallbladder even out of the bar?"

"He's not here, ElBee, but it's still "Yellow Submarine playing".

"That *****! Okay, is the back of the restroom busted open?"

""Well, it is, a little, but someone is dancing on the toilet, I think."

Just off to pop 93 y-o mom out of the rehab facility and get her installed back at home.

Much to be done, but she left in a hurry, and at least I've got the fridge cleaned out, spoiled produce ejected, various household messes attended to, that sort of thing.

All thanks to Kid Zoom, that Achilles advert was fucking awesome!!

Great ad. It brought back memories of the amazing "Kung Fury" movie which used the 1980s VHS look, music, and gaming sensibilities to perfection. It may have even used some of the same background music as the ad. It's a classic.

Trump: "I do not want to lose as your representative $90 billion for the privilege of allowing Canada to have a healthcare system and other things that they shouldn't be having"

Says the kleptocratic dicktator that just ripped healthcare away from millions of his country's own people while stealing billions for himself and his crime syndicate family.

I'd like to see someone take that ad that Ken Paxton's future ex-wife made about voting for Republicans even if they're completely horrible people and expand on it. "Like, even if they borrowed your car to go fuck their mistress, Angela? Or used your credit card to buy her a necklace? And then told you to vote against impeaching his sorry ass? Don't be like Angela Paxton -- throw the gaslighting abusive felon out to the curb where he fucking belongs."

The sickest thing is that they will, too : )

Sometimes, I worry that my hating Donald Trump (even though I'm neither transgender nor a witch) takes away too much of my time that could be devoted to hating Ted Cruz.

Time management is a useful and valuable skill.

Mysterysurf's avatar

Hating Ted Cruz is relatively small cheese compared to my Trump Hate.

Teen Laqueefa's avatar

Yup, I have plenty of spare time to hate Ted

My friend is attending the Boise one today. Will you be going?

G-7 in Space's avatar

It started at 11 I think and I am home caring for 93 yo mom...sad that I can't attend though- I was a speaker at one of the early ones and I was interviewed for local news at the first one...I hope it is a good turnout....

Hello! Quick update on Mr. Not Amused: We're back in the hospital. In ER now getting blood work done, we're not sure if he's going to be admitted yet. He's had some weakness and confusion the past few days, and even more tremors. They're going to make sure his infection hasn't returned.

We've had the worst luck in getting a new hospital bed that goes down low enough for him to get on and off. Just an insurance nightmare. All we needed to do was remove the wheels, but we couldn't do it while he is in the bed. So, I called my good friend Menotsure to come by while we're here, and he's already removed the wheels and placed his bed on a large rug to protect the flooring. So when Mr. comes home, everything is set up perfectly now. Hooray!

Our next step is getting him evaluated for hospice. Neither of us believe he's actively dying, but getting him the medical help he needs without leaving home is absolutely necessary now. Still have a long road ahead of us, but at least we are in a better place now to get him feeling better. Please keep us in your thoughts, and thanks for all the love!

Come here, you...

Thalia Is Not Amused's avatar

Awwww, thanks honey! I can feel it from here.

EyeQueue's avatar

I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending positive vibes and thoughts for healing. It's great that you have someone like Menotsure there as support.

Thalia Is Not Amused's avatar

Thank you so much! And I'm eternally grateful for Menotsure. Not sure how I'd manage all this without him.

G-7 in Space's avatar

In my thoughts... hugs and health wishes...

Menotsure is a Saint. Hang in there and good luck with our health care system.

Thalia Is Not Amused's avatar

Right? He's simply the best. Thank you so much!

He's still lusting for that Peace Prize!

Trump: "When I did the excursion to the beautiful Islamic Republic of Iran and we beat the shit out of them"

And he goes further off the rails

Trump: "The poverty rate has just reached its highest, best number"

His groupies cheer...

Larry Schmitt's avatar

Remember when he said he could say the stupidest things and they'd still cheer? Goes equally for the cruelest things.

Larry Schmitt's avatar

A real act of peace, impoverishing people who did you no harm.

Larry Schmitt's avatar

Let's ask those schoolgirls in Iran what they think. Oh, that's right...

gallbladder's avatar

Just wait until those poverty numbers and beatings come home to roost in the backyards of his brain-dead fanatics. Will it teach them something? Probably not, but aching stomachs and unemployment are pretty hard to put off.

Randy Bender's avatar

Meh, they're just enraged, screaming mouths on legs. Ain't got no larnin'

Anything bad happens, it was the Messicans, the jews, the blacks, or the queers.

For all the hundreds of millions of dollars the GOP is spending on these mid term elections one would think they would get better production value.

gallbladder's avatar

They're certainly getting better slush funds.

Baconzgood's avatar

But even if they hired Robert Altman there would still be enough to skim off the top.

Was just washing dishes and noticed what I thought was a hummingbird buzzing past the window, turns out it was a dragonfly which was very odd. There are dozens of them in my backyard flitting around miles from any body of water, how strange.

You will never look at a dragonfly the same way again after watching LEXX: TALES FROM A PARALLEL UNIVERSE.

They are amazing and formidable hunters to watch.

I used to be afraid of them-until I found out what they eat.
