I'd sure appreciate it. That sort of thing is right up my alley. :D

Hanover! my mom threatens to bailout on Thanksgiving for the Dutch Country Restaurant's turkey dinner. We were staying in Gettysburg, a town with no shortage of decent eateries, and ended up 30 miles away for dinner there in Hanover. In fact, the last time I was there, about 1 year ago, I remember overhearing political talk and it was downright offensive, too much pro-Trump speak.It's every where, these little diners seem to pull in the regressives. In Manassas, VA not 3 weeks ago, at the table next to mine, I heard people cutting into Dr. Ford! I had to leave to be civil; I didn't even know what to do! It's conversations like that, that just as you said the people are stuck in the past and comforted or something with the Faux talking points. What that means for the votes alarms me.

If your standard is "the most abhorrent thing said by a Republican in the last two days" then you're going to have trouble figuring out who makes the cut.

I once had a burrito that supposedly had ghost pepper in it, but I think they just waved the pepper in the general direction of the kitchen.

Hillary gets it. She said the only thing Republicans understand is strength.

I really hate the way the right gaslights on this particular thing, too. Constantly bait and threaten and sidle right up next to fascists and the fascist-adjacent, then bat their eyes at anyone pointing this sort of thing out, and then say this is why we have Spanky in the WH, because of how liberals behave and because of what liberals say, and just UNCIVIL they are.

Funny: I never saw liberals hop in a car and drive over protesters.

Well, he's just a hell of a guy, with a big big future in politics. Because of being lovable.

super super disappointing guy. He's very proud of himself every day though. For some reason.

That's the problem I guess. Keep bashing our heads against it. Just saw the picturesque Josh Hawley of Missouri on Meet the Press deplore the appalling Democrats and say how he wants so much to protect the preexisting conditions thing, tho we know his real feelings and, Chuck Todd didn't say a word about it. Didn't want to make him all mad!

Cleats are for other kinds of sportsball besides golf, I think.
