Some days are tougher than others to bear what Donald is doing to our country. Today is one of those for me.

Stay safe. Hug someone. Watch a good movie. Walk the dog. Then...

Prepare to vote in the upcoming elections, no matter what this fascist demented dunce and his thugs try to throw at us. I have no doubt ICE will be there to greet us. Above all, Stay Calm.

Try to have a good day today, people.

If you don't already vote early please consider it. My state sends out mail in ballots and it has early voting. I fill in my ballot soon after I receive it and then, instead of relying on the post office, I take it to a voting place and drop it in a ballot box. If you HAVE to rely on the post office, don't wait until the last minute. Post Office rules are changing and if it gets to the polls too late, your vote will not count. Early voting works also. Please, please, don't wait until election day to vote! Too many things can go wrong. The electricity may go out. The lines may be super long. There may be a bomb scare. ICE may be there to intimidate people. Something could happen to YOU, to prevent you from getting to the polls. Your car breaks down. You get sick. You don't get off work early enough to get to the polls. Just please vote. Republicans are going to cheat, they always do. We have to win by overwhelming margins!!

Nobody is allowed to talk to a potential voter closer than 100’ to the door where voters are
going into vote.

"Did you hear what the Democrats want to do now?"
Me.."You've been watching Fox Phony News, Carol"

(I'd like to throw Carol with a 50 lb weight around her.....)

See what I mean?

I spent the morning at the piano. I bitch about my shortcomings but TBH, I am sight-reading, and who does that well who isn't a really good pianist?

And FWIW, my sight reading was horrible until my late 60's, when a switch flipped.

Stick with fellow believers in democracy and ignore the assholes. Your chagrin is their win.
