Canary in a coal mine

Holy Crap!  I slept in this morning, not getting up until 0630 and now I'm racing to get things done in time to go to work.
On my Mom - she was moved to another room because she was arguing and yelling at her roommate.  If you don't cater to her, you're always going to be on her shit list; this is how it's always been.  Evidently her dementia is accelerating, she was telling people this AM that she only had one son and he was dead; maybe that's why she always looks so surprised when I walk into her room.
One of the fun things I did yesterday was watch the 6 plus hours of the Paris-Roubaix cycling race from April - on an off, mind you.  It was great!  I'm a Cannondale fan so it was nice to see one of my team on the podium.
And what about the racist Republicans down in Texas?  Don't they make your canaries sing?  Or maybe I should say die.  Miners took canaries as a warning sign with them into mines since gas would kill them first and yesterday they'd have been dropping like flies.  Can you believe that one of those GOP morons called ICE because of protesters?  The asshole's name was Rihaldi.  What was supposed to be a racists celebratory photo op with the Republicans clapping each other on the racists backs has turned into a national embarrassment for the GOP.  Oh, sure, the racists who voted for the Idiot are no doubt jumping around doing their yippy skippy dance, but their numbers are shrinking.
Oh, and one of the Idiot's communications directors abruptly quit yesterday - he's getting his ass off of that sinking ship.
What we really need to do is clear that stinking crowd out completely and start standing up to the Ruskies!
What final note.  I was talking to my friend Betsy last evening and she believes that Trump is the "abomination of desolation."  Not being the religious type, I asked her what that was.  She explained that he is the sign of the 'end of times..' ie "the anti-Christ."  Gimme a break.  I did a little research and evidently quite a number of people have been identified as being the "abomination of desolation," including Barack Obama,  Pope Ratzenberger (?) the current Pope, George W. Bush... and, well, the list goes on and on.  Now, while I believe the Idiot is, by all accounts, an abomination, I know he will be out of office long before he desolates the US... and our allies.  While Republican canaries are starting to die all over the place, every body else's are starting to sing!
