"Well, there's something you don't see everyday!"

"I tried to think of the most harmless thing! Something I loved from my childhood! Something that could never, ever possibly destroy us, Mr. Stay-Puft!"

"Oh, s**!!"

@anita it’s difficult not feel despair when there’s constant negativity clouding us everyday.  If we consume and absorb the negativity it will keep us in the dark and weigh our spirits down.  I’m not going to lie and tell you that I’m a happy Sunflower 100% of the time but I do find a morning mediation helps along with daily journaling.  Sometimes when you feel such strong emotions you can channel it towards a beautiful creation of art.  I have been doing several challenges with my sister and as funny as it sounds, it does bring me joy knowing that I’m taking breaks throughout the day to get 200 squats, 300 jumping jacks and 100 sit-ups in.  I’m in the Bay Area so my husband and I have been doing weekend trip north to Guerneville be with the Redwoods. I pick up a book instead of watching the news and spend more time connecting with my friend and families via phone and zoom. Also watch what you eat since it could add unwanted stress to your body.  Do nice little things for yourself, maybe do an at home steam therapy or mask peel or even paint your toes a funky color.  I’m sending you oodles of virtual hugs and a scent of lemongrass to soothe your mind.  Stay safe and please know you’re not alone.

 

 

share the love and light

I wasn't saying dont threaten Mitch with it. I aas just stating that they can't blast it publically because that will turn off some swing voters and drive support in GOP.voters that might otherwise stay home.

And lets not forget that During a 1983 family vacation, Mitt Romney drove 12 hours with his dog on top of the car in a windshield-equipped carrier.  I'm sorry but that says a LOT to me right there. ?

Tricia,  I had forgotten about that incident but now remember that well because it hurt Romney's popularity more than any other news about him. There is an entire Wikipedia page about it.   And as the story goes, the poor dog emitted pee and diarrhea during the 12 hour trip which trickled down the windshield causing Romney to have to pull over.  Romney lived in MA at the time and when asked about it, said there was no law against it. However Mass animal cruelty laws prohibit anyone from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner.

I have mixed feelings about it. Part of me agrees, and part of me thinks it ought to be broadcast that if it comes to it, expanding the court will be done to protect healthcare. Very few people, except for MAGATS who are too dumb to understand that their pre-existing coverage comes from the ACA, are going to be happy about losing it.

It will be interesting to see what Biden says. It is one of the debate topics. Twitler will deny that he is trying to kill it, and I hope the moderator, or Biden himself, calls him a liar right there on stage.

Isn't there a quote about how you can judge a society by how they treat their animals?

Well it looks like the Dems aren't going to fight this or they are holding their cards really close to the chest. Court Packing maybe? But only if Senate goes blue too. Of course then I could see Republicans just adding enough to control the court everytime they get power back since they have no morals. Filibuster needs to go either way. It wasn't suppose to be used this way. This is not democracy or the will of the people. 

Food for thought. If Romney votes to confirm Trump's nomination then he will be the first and only Senator to vote guilty on impeachment then vote to confirm that guilty (by his own vote) president's nomination. Republicans have won the Presidency popular vote once in the last seven times but have confirmed 4 and now possibly 5 nominations in that time span. Since 1969, Republican Presidents have gotten 16 nominations confirmed compared to only 4 for Democratic Presidents. But they are the ones who started the war over the Supreme Court by not even considering Obama's moderate nomination and now pushing someone through DURING an election. I truly hope this bites them in the butts!

@polarberry

I've heard it as both animals and prisoners, but either way its saying society is judged on how it treats its weakest and most helpless members, no matter their classification.
