Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Number This

Well, here it is Sunday and the government is still shut down.  The screws are turning on the Idiot Jerk in the White House and his supporters because of his conflicting statements regarding DACA.  The funny thing is that his group of haters wants to kick this melon down the road... again, which is part of their problem - they don't know it's a melon, they think it's a ball, and if they keep kicking it down the road then they'll never have to deal with it.  Neither do they understand they are a minority group trying to appeal to a minority group of voters.
And speaking of voters, those in South Eastern PA may get their shot at another special election.  You see Roy Meehan has been removed from the House Ethics Committee after reports surfaced that he had demonstrated some rather unethical behavior.  Evidently he developed a crush on a younger, female aide, and then his ego couldn't accept rejection, which in turn led to a a 'payout' from his congressional office funds.  Why is it Conservative members of Congress can't seem to control their conservative members?
Anyway, for those who don't know, there was a walk yesterday - by women... and men, but mostly women protesting the Idiot Jerk in the White House.

Part of the protest in Washington
Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of women were involved, yet I was amused to see some Thimbelina headed Republican woman whining on Facebook how "minuscule" these numbers were.  Evidently she has no conception of the correlation between the percentage of people who protest and those who feel the same way, but chose to stay home.  And we're not talking little numbers here, not with 600,000 in LA, 300,000 in Chicago, and other large crowds in Washington, New York,  Philadelphia... and a host of other cities.  If yesterday's protesters represent just 10% of all the women who hate the Idiot Jerk... well, we're talking about millions, and millions, and millions... and that's one hell of a voting block.  These numbers are something all of those Social Conservatives who feel women are meant to be baby factories will never understand.

  2. *just sits and shakes head*

    I have always found the most conservative to be the worst. They name call and point, and behind doors...their always up to no good.

    1. This always happens when people claim the moral high ground just to get votes.

  3. I heard something in passing that is potentially even better news in your area. Something about your state being seriously gerrymandered and the courts might do something about it? I would love to see that happen in PA, TX and NC.

    And what is it with "the family of values" that don't practice what they preach?

    1. Yeah, the gerrymandering thing hit the courts back in November - no decision yet... and those Family Values? They preach a lot and practice little.
