When Partner and her two cats and me and my one dog moved in together, I was hoping for a scene like this. I wasn't too optimistic about Clyde, she was Partner's Spirit Cat, and didn't much fancy me or my dogstink. But I thought the Huntress Snickerdoodle (about whom Ian Anderson penned the song "Hunting Girl" -- I swear! Okay, he *would* have if he'd known her.) would be a solid bet to take no shit form a dog no matter his size. And Tonka wasn't all that concerned with cats, they'd wander through the yard and he'd bark, but that's cuz they were on his turf.
Nope. Snickerdoodle took one look at an awake Tonka, did a full Electricat, flew upstairs in a flash of torticoblur and disappeared in a puff of cartoon smoke. She'd sneak up on him on occasion when he was sleeping, but if he stirred at all *poof!*. But since he had spent all of his previous 11 years living in a 1-story house and didn't really know how ot do stairs, he never saw the second floor of our house. And that was ... okay, though I never got used to him sleeping downstairs while I was upstairs.
Yeah, I did that last week - I've never voted a straight party ticket before but did this year. Of course, in Indiana, that doesn't cover everything...
I know Zach Dembro - D (KY-6th) and feel very good about him winning that seat. He's a great and capable guy. My congressman, Morgan McGarvey -D (KY-3rd) will win his seat back and that will make 2 Dems from KY in the House. Finally!
Don't know why a stronger candidate could not be found to run against Jimmy boy Comer R - 1st district hick-a-billy-moron. That district is insanely gerrymandered and far western KY has a lot of the religious folks who...well, you know.
Same with N. KY district 4. Ed Gallrein-R -NUTCASE is running for Massie's old seat. Young woman, Melissa Strange -D hasn't got a chance. District 4 will regret this though, but he'll be one of those guys we make fun of the next 2 years, cuz nutcase! Trust me, we'd ALL rather have Massie.
I'm going to hold on to my long shot bet/wish that Charles Booker somehow pulls it out for Mitch's seat against that fool Andy Barr. Long shot, but how I would LOVE for THAT to be THE STORY - the candidate that no one talked about, the 99% chance of losing, the blah guy for KY, ...the win that shocks the nation! I noticed even Ken Martin came through with some last minute monies for that race after Charles being ignored all summer. trump/elon whoever, threw a bunch of last minute monies into this race too so that tells me something's up with that contest. Some polls claim this race is tied at 43%...but you know....pffffffffft....polls.
It will take a long time to chip away at the Super Majority Rs in the state legislature, but hoping we make some progress there today.
I realize I do not read the news as often as I used to but WTF is going on with Red Baron pizza and why would I even care. Aww forgetaboutit, I don't give a shit about Glen Beck and never have.
Here's the WWI Flying Ace (a beagle in goggles) taking on his nemesis Baron Von Richtofen (a Red Baron shelf stocker) above the snowy fields of France (the frozen foods aisle)?
Morning and welcome to Election Day. Hoping that we get the win we want.
Reading a story in New Republic sounds like Haley’s creep finance wielded some strong influence over her and that that may have been her turnaround. Stupid woman. Never change your life for some dick.
Don Jr is so stupid he thinks that Ohio isn’t a state. One that was established in 1803. Duuuude! Wikipedia is your friend hard as it might be that you have friends.
OT: I can't think of the last time I fucked my back up this badly. It was already a little tweaked, and then I went climbing yesterday and exacerbated it bigly. Feel a little nausea. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen Q6. This too shall pass.
Sympathies, I haz them. I messed up my back once in Michigan, picking up a 90-lb senior-citizen golden retriever to put him in a car. Needed a shot in my back and muscle relaxers just to make the drive back to the East Coast.
The good news is that it healed completely! Bet yours will too.
"As the corner guys go to work, I gotta say I ain't seen a beating like this since my Ma caught me with a certain magazine! Eh, oh! This is Ali Vitali, and we'll be back with Round 9 after a word from our sponsor."
"After the 2024 election, I know we all wanted to curl up in a little ball and retreat, but we had a job to do. We’ve spent the last two years staying informed and building a movement through community. Today seemed like an eternity away, but it’s here. So let’s do this. #Vote "
Ok ok ok I’m UP. Walking to vote later this morning, at a nice little volunteer fire station about a mile away. Like you, I’m watching the big races but also? Miami-Dade and Orlando. Polls there close at 7pm, and I want to see how much support that stupid orange vulgarian has lost.
Today, please God, let this be the start of holding this corrupt administration accountable. I’ve never seen a midterm like this in my life, with record breaking turnout. I’ve waited for participation like this for DECADES.
"Federal courts handed the Trump administration a string of election eve defeats late Monday, capped by a dramatic reversal at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals."
What the absolute fuck? What kind of depraved vulgarity is that? I... Jesus. I can be somewhat crude on occasion. But even I would not call even the most egregious Republican woman some sort of animated Fleshlight. That's cartoonishly vile misogyny. If that were my relative, she would not be allowed in my house until she made a public apology of some kind.
Vote, vote, vote!

Upfist for " torticoblur"
This reminds me of my mother in law’s cat, Toto, who adores her dog.
She just bossed the dog around and grooms her and then wears her out and cuddles!
It is assumed that cats run everything; imagine if Toto weren't there to govern.
The day we've all been waiting for
Has finally come to pass
And if you haven't voted blue
You can kiss my Georgia ass.
Seriously, I'm keeping my eyes on the southeast. There has been much change in
demographics down here and while it may not yet be enough to flip a lot of districts,
if margins of loss are narrowed for Democrats, the 2028 and post census 2030 elections could be game changers.
Doggos and kitties living together! Shear pandemonium!
Whack-a-Kitha!
Cats and dogs playing together on election day? What does it mean??????

I voted two weeks ago! Never voted a straight party ticket before, but I did this year - Democratic.
Yeah, I did that last week - I've never voted a straight party ticket before but did this year. Of course, in Indiana, that doesn't cover everything...
We're talking about pool, with a capital P and that rhymes with T and that stands for Trump!
Oh, wait, it stands for Trouble! (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) ....
A brilliant scene from "The Music Man", later satirized equally brilliantly by The Simpsons in "The Monorail Song".

Don Jr is so stupid he thinks that Ohio isn’t a state. One that was established in 1803. Duuuude! Wikipedia is your friend hard as it might be that you have friends.
It's also the only state whose state flag is a pennant.
That should blow Don, Jr.'s mind.
He's been snorting extra. I don't think he's going to do well before a congressional committee.
I have learned to stay far, far away from men-centered women.
I can't tolerate them. They don't think for themselves and have to run to the male for validation and permission. They walk behind them in every way.
There is a crude term for the male equivalent. Rhymes with 'wussy tripped.'
Male-centered women are a danger to all.
They’re exhausting. No matter what you plan together it’s always pre-empted for what their boyfriend wants to do at the last minute.
Oh, I've had friends completely drop me until the relationship was over and then come back wanting a friend.
And I put up with it for years.
No more.
Fair weather friends are not friends they are emotional vampires.
OT: I can't think of the last time I fucked my back up this badly. It was already a little tweaked, and then I went climbing yesterday and exacerbated it bigly. Feel a little nausea. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen Q6. This too shall pass.
Is there no liquid morphine, just a few dabs perhaps?
What's the point of paying these gazillion dollar healthcare premiums if we can't get what we want?
Laudanum. Get a tincture from the apothecary. Kick it old school.
I'm going to take up growing laudanum and advertise myself as a healing witch who also practices weathercraft.
It's so fucking stupid that they treat people who have a legitimate need for pain meds like goddamned criminals.
Ice, ice, baby.
Ouch and I hope you mend quickly. Me and my heating pad are close.
Sympathies, I haz them. I messed up my back once in Michigan, picking up a 90-lb senior-citizen golden retriever to put him in a car. Needed a shot in my back and muscle relaxers just to make the drive back to the East Coast.

Ali Vitali on MSNOW appears to be wearing a pocket square on her pubic area. Girl—no. Lose the crotch cravat.
If Crotch Cravat isn't a band name, I don't want to live in this timeline.
She's a cutie, but the name"Ali Vitali" sounds like it belongs on a late-1970s boxing announcer.
I was thinking energy drink.
Or a mob princess.
"As the corner guys go to work, I gotta say I ain't seen a beating like this since my Ma caught me with a certain magazine! Eh, oh! This is Ali Vitali, and we'll be back with Round 9 after a word from our sponsor."
Ya know who's been missing in this voting season?
Sarah Palin.
Back under her rock I guess. Not a peep. Not a tweet.
Inconsequential, irrelevant, forgotten.
Time wounds all heels.
Shhhh it's like summoning demons.
What about her children, Portsmouth and Wainscotting?
"Bristol, stop breastfeeding your brother and come over here" still gets me
I dropped my ballot off back on October 17th, and I got the confirmation it was counted on October 19th. That relieved a great deal of my anxiety.
Make your voice heard, exercise your sovereign franchise. Vote!
Already voted. Just waiting now to see Ken Paxton lose.
I'd say at least he has Grand Theft Auto 6 to look forward to, but knowing him, he'll likely just commit a real case of grand theft auto.
I would have said it's not his style to do it personally, but he did steal a Mont Blanc pen, so I think I'm wrong.

In case anyone wondered who the women are who'd hold down other women for men to rape them, like in the Handmaid's Tale.
I'm sorry. She looks like that which she is accusing other women of being.
Another woman eating shit for the patriarchy and asking for seconds.
A fucking JUDGE is saying this?
I want to knock the fuck out of her.
Got your back!
I'll hold your drink.
Thank you! You are a very nice guy! <3 <3 <3 <3
and that comment right below hers is why I get particularly mad when women do shit like this.

Today's GOP!!1!
People like that are why we can't have nice things. Anything else I might say would get me the banhammer so.....
The Republican Party is America's greatest enemy.
Just goes to show that given equal opportunity, women can be just as vile and stupid as men.
This. And this has been a hard lesson for me to learn. :(
It's misogynistic to think that women can't be as vile and as destructive as men in some cases.
JFC...
She fits the third option.
3. none of the above.
I voted the first day of early voting in MA, and now there's nothing to do but wait. Damn, this better work...
