Republicans: Party over Country

 And... a new week begins.  We can only wonder what kinds of bitter joys and frivolities will be visited upon us in the coming days, so enjoy the nice ones while you can.

The temp outside is a mild 44 (F).  Today's high is supposed to be somewhere in the upper 60s (F), that will be nice, too.  Unfortunately, I do work.

Speaking of work, yesterday, for most of my 8 hours at the flooring desk, I was busy.  I sold 4 measure, which gave me a total of 6 for the week.  Management should be very happy.  Almost everybody asked about a Black Friday Sale.  There will be discounts in Blinds and Decor, but not on flooring, of course, there's always a sale in Blinds and Decor.  Whether it's actually a sale or not, I have no idea.  No one ever pays the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price... ever, and in case some of you don't know, a single cellular, light filtering shade for a 30 inch x 60 inch window is going to set you back at least $160, and that's your basic model.  The bigger the window, the more expensive the shade.

And I baked an apple thingy in my air fryer.  No recipe involved.  I just popped a little pie crust into one of my Corning Ware dishes, sliced up 2 apples, added a 2 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of brown sugar and popped it into the friar.

And here's an irony for you, it may be Mitch McConnell, a traditionalist Republican, who save Democracy from Trump.  Stop Laughing!  After decades of using his power in the Senate to try and force the country down a conservative path, he has, so late in his political career, discovered that he has all the time been helping construct the fascist movement now led by Trump.  If Trump takes complete control, all of McConnell's political endeavors will have been in vain.  Can you hear me laughing.  At 83, McConnell has decided he doesn't want his career to be seen as the foundation for extremism the Republican party has become.  Will McConnell be successful?  Will he end his career as the hero who saved Democracy?  I'm betting he more regrets not voting to impeach Trump the first time, since it was his decision to put party over country that led to this shit show.
