Just the other week, a federal court handed a win to Republicans by ruling against the ACA. If this stands:

The federal deficit for fiscal year 2019 rose 26 percent from last year to $984.4 billion — its highest point in seven years. Trump’s tax cuts and massive spending are to blame.@highbrow_nobrowhttps://t.co/XoU7mVdh08

Would one of Joe Biden’s advisors please tell him that silence isn’t necessarily a bad thing, he’s his own worst enemy. He could be running away with this nomination if he didn’t talk so much, the only thing he has to do is run around and kiss babies and the nomination is his, but no, he has to run his mouth like he’s a fucking philosopher. He says the first fucking thing that pops into his head. And that’s why I hope Kamala doesn’t accept any role in his administration if offered because she’d spend the majority of her time trying to clean up the dumb shit that he spews from time to time. Joe, friend, shut the fuck up so I can vote for you in peace and quiet.
One of the great moments in television. Will never forget #Gwen’s unflappable clarity in that moment & as the controversy unfolded. It wasn’t ultimately abt the cruel racist. It was abt those who stayed silent & condoned the conduct of the cruel racist. It still is. #GwenIfillhttps://t.co/rZaMUIQLHE
"There has been radio silence from a lot of people … who could have spoken up and said, 'I find this offensive,'" Gwen Ifill said. "These people didn't speak up."
Thank you @JoyceWhiteVance for explaining how trials work. One side doesn’t get to call enemies just for kicks. Only witnesses with relevant evidence testify. https://t.co/hw3x0pll9e
Joe Biden’s answer, about a hypothetical impeachment subpoena that’s not going to happen anyway, was fine. The media is trying to turn it into something because this has been a fairly slow news week. Maybe they should go write about the kids that are still in cages instead.
Joe Biden is right. Again Media will make it all about him, and not all the stuff Trump is guilty of. This is an impeachment trial on Trump’s crimes and misdemeanors and obstruction of Congress. He and his administration have refused all of the House’s subpoenas for documents and to come in and testify.

Hey, JO’B, remember years ago when we used to share ‘new’ vocabulary words? Well, okay, maybe it wasn’t yearS ago but it sure seems like it. Anyways, I ran into a new word in one of the links above and thought it was likely a typo. Since that explanation didn’t sit well with me in this instance I did some research 😉 . Lo and behold, there is such a word as ‘BATHETIC’!!!
Here is where I saw it:
//….
“Sometimes people act as though it’s impeach or nothing. It’s not that,” she ]Pelosi] said. “We won’t go any faster than the facts take us or any slower than the facts take us.”
This slow-roll approach was roundly condemned by anti-Trumpers, some of whom went so far as to question whether Pelosi was compromised. I understood her rationale, and I never doubted her allegiances, but it was frustrating, especially after the bathetic release of the Mueller Report, to have to wait.
So of course, I’ve added this word to my new vocabulary list – which I had forgotten all about, if you want to know the truth. SEASON’s Greetings! ❤ ❤ ❤

This one got me. The answer is in the thread.
Hint: focus on the vertical lines
none! OMG…. even when I focused on the vertical lines:)
I didn’t see them at first either. There are 16.
Look at the center of the vertical lines between the first two rectangles. Keep looking until you see it. Once you do, you can’t not see it.
OK! See them now:)
Thanks for that hint Dudette. I immediately saw the 16 circles when I focused on the vertical lines. 🙂
😄 Maybe I gave it away too soon!
Whew! I found them before I went cross-eyed! LOL
Thanks sista 😀
LOL! Glad you found them in time! 😉
