I forgot I blocked that bastard, so I can’t say what I wanna say without unblocking his ass and seeing more of damned tweets.
Weren’t you supposed to be making it great the last four years? Instead you’ve corrupted everything you’ve touched, ruined our standing across the world, killed more than 150k Americans, and tanked the economy. Go back to your golf club or take a nap. You’re fired!
We heard you, Dudette (whether he heard you or not – who cares about him!!!). He’s fired, but we’re still moving forward – yay! It’s our country – not his.
Anybody else need more coffee? I could go back to sleep but I’m trying to seize the day!
No. A picture a friend posted of a natural garden she loved to walk in, in a green belt area near her (in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada where I used to live). She passed away from pancreatic cancer early this past July. I didn’t even know she was sick. I have lost two good friends these past two months. One from dementia/parkinsons who was only 54, and Shelagh, who was 65. They both were fabulous people. Shelagh was an artist and also took wonderful photographs. I was devastated to hear of her death.
Oh Betsy. I’m so sorry. 2020 has been the cruelest year. What a sweet tribute to your friend, remembering & honoring her with that photo. I hope happy memories of both your friends will eventually bring you smiles and comfort. ((((( Betsy ))))
Morning, all. We know we’re in a fight for the soul of our nation and the very survival of democracy. President Obama put it more poetically, but we HAVE to make sure we and our allies are registered and set up to vote as soon as we possibly can. Third night of peacefulness in my city of Portland now that the federal brownshirts are nowhere in sight. I have several friends suffering from respiratory, digestive, gynecological problems as well as bruises and skin rashes from being repeatedly tear gassed, pepper sprayed, and struck with rubber bullets. Non-violent protests continue uninterrupted for #BlackLivesMatter.
Do not get sucked into any notion that Trump is Losing.
Folk got all excited when he stopped advertising in Michigan this past week. Well, did anyone consider the fact that that is a tactic to induce complacency or that Putin has assured him he’s got a lock on vote tally or both ….
Trump is an exceptionally talented scam practitioner … stop watching the flailing tinny hands and obsessing about his spray tan and all his other nonsense and SEE HIS ACTIONS.
He is as deadly a weapon system as has ever existed and Putin is masterfully aiming and firing him at every significant target in the USA’s pillars of solvency, credibility and Democracy.
Thank you for being a true warrior in this fight Bobfr! Election Day 2020 needs to be a day of energy, music, food, celebration and a turn out that shuts down all pretense of a rigged election. Putin’s Puppet must be removed…and those GOP enablers must answer for their silence as our country has been
“surgically” cut apart and left to rot. P.S. I still want to see the PEE Tape! I know it won’t change minds as to the character of Trump..but it would humiliate him…the pig he is.
Good People of #Georgia’s 5th Congressional District #GA5: Please, I beg you with all that is within me, #register to vote and then actually #vote to elect @NikemaWilliams to continue #JohnLewis’ legacy in Congress.

As much as I want to know his choice (and that it’s Harris), I respect Joe’s for doing the vetting and doing it the way he feels is right.
How do you know he hasn’t decided? He said there’d be a vetting process, that he wants it done fairly & completely and, like every nominee before him, he gave a timeframe for the announcement. He’s being thoughtful and deliberate. It’s his choice, his timetable. We’ll be okay.
Mrs.Drew … just go out there and (continue…???) GOTV or do anything that will help DEMOCRATS – EVERYWHERE win this Nov.
And let President Biden’s team do what is required in vetting, before declaring who the VP is.
There is a bigger picture … where everyone is needed and is important to turn America around.
Yes You Can Again!!
This week, I was proud to introduce the Environmental Justice for All Act in the Senate—historic legislation that @RepRaulGrijalva and @RepMcEachin have been leading in the House.
For generations, environmental injustices have plagued Black and brown communities. It has to stop. https://t.co/uIBWM3FAkN
This pandemic has put a bright light on the disparities that have plagued our nation for too long. We’ve got to make sure these communities get the help they need now — and root out the systemic racism that created these inequalities in the first place. https://t.co/KZZx2T9ojT

that is more harmful than helpful isn’t because they’re getting rich off the pills. It’s because they really, really need to convince people that it’s safe to go back to work and send their kids back to school.

There is no evidence that hydroxychloroquine is an “effective” treatment for COVID-19, says Adm. Brett Giroir, who is overseeing the nation's COVID-19 testing.
“Most physicians and prescribers are evidence-based and they’re not influenced by whatever is on Twitter or anything else. And the evidence just does not show hydroxychloroquine is effective right now,” he said.
“We need to move on from that and talk about what is effective,” he added, pointing to public hygiene measures like hand-washing and mask-wearing, as well as treatments like the drug remdesivir and steroids.
Neither do I. Any doctor that just sits there while that moron is spewing medical lies, is not worthy of being listened to or trusted

Congressman Raskin to NIAID Director Dr. Fauci:
Raskin: “Does wearing a mask give you COVID-19?”
Fauci: “No.”
Raskin: “Is COVID-19 a hoax?”
Fauci: “No.”
Raskin: “Should people take hyrdroxychloroquine as a cure for COVID-19?”
Fauci: “The overwhelming accumulated evidence of properly conducted randomized control trials indicate No therapeutic efficacy for hydroxychloroquine.”
Raskin: “Can people cure themselves of COVID-19 by injecting themselves with disinfectant?”
Fauci: “No.”
Raskin: “Are you safe from the disease if you go to one of the aforementioned crowds…demonstrations, without a mask on and not observing social distancing, if you sign a waiver that you won’t sue the sponsor of the event?”
Fauci: “….being in a crowd is a risk for acquisition and transmission.”
Raskin: “But signing a waiver doesn’t confer any kind of immunity on you from being infected by the disease.”
Fauci: “Of course not.”

THIS is one of the reasons I think Senator Harris is so simpatico with VP Biden. If you don’t feel this in your bones, I don’t know what to say. We are all stronger together.
It’s not enough to just go back to the way things were before these crises — we need to build back better than ever. We have to create a new American economy where everyone gets a fair return for their work and an equal chance to get ahead.

Good morning, TOD. 💙
Good Morning tnmtngirl 😘

and Everybody!😘
I forgot I blocked that bastard, so I can’t say what I wanna say without unblocking his ass and seeing more of damned tweets.
Weren’t you supposed to be making it great the last four years? Instead you’ve corrupted everything you’ve touched, ruined our standing across the world, killed more than 150k Americans, and tanked the economy. Go back to your golf club or take a nap. You’re fired!
We heard you, Dudette (whether he heard you or not – who cares about him!!!). He’s fired, but we’re still moving forward – yay! It’s our country – not his.
Anybody else need more coffee? I could go back to sleep but I’m trying to seize the day!
Love you J! 😄
Love you!
You can unblock, tweet at him, then block him again!
But then he won’t see it when I block him again. So it kinda defeats the purpose. It’s okay. He knows the world hates him and he’s fired.
I thought you can see tweets from people who have blocked you but you can’t reply to them?
Nope. I think that’s when you’re muted. But where’s the fun in that? I’ll live. Anyone who wants to you what I wrote is free to do so.
Btw, I like your avi. Flowers from your garden?
No. A picture a friend posted of a natural garden she loved to walk in, in a green belt area near her (in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada where I used to live). She passed away from pancreatic cancer early this past July. I didn’t even know she was sick. I have lost two good friends these past two months. One from dementia/parkinsons who was only 54, and Shelagh, who was 65. They both were fabulous people. Shelagh was an artist and also took wonderful photographs. I was devastated to hear of her death.
Oh Betsy. I’m so sorry. 2020 has been the cruelest year. What a sweet tribute to your friend, remembering & honoring her with that photo. I hope happy memories of both your friends will eventually bring you smiles and comfort. ((((( Betsy ))))
So sorry for your losses Betsy.
