this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I wonder if they think about what history will say about them. Like, they're going to be examples in textbooks. And not good ones, Bob.

I think they don't give a shit about posterity as long as it means they can get what they want in the present. Horrific bastards.

why they don't seem to think they can get that granny-starving agenda through under Pence. Unless they know that if POTUS goes down, in this case, VPOTUS goes down with him.

If that's the case, isn't Ryan next in line? You'd think he'd be in a position to double-down on the granny starving then.

Then maybe Pence is secure but they think he won't be on board with the granny-starving.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, despite being horrific shitbags, *do* know how the government works, but they are letting him keep on risking national security because it means they can ram their granny-starving agenda through.

This is exactly it.

They do feature the dog in a pirate outfit.

Why does that make me think it's Wishbone?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, saw another Downward Dog commercial. The dog is mostly concerned about his owner.

Also, the dog does not talk to people, in case I wasn't clear. Only to the camera.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Despite being seemingly impossible, it gets crazier every day. I had to message my nephew and suggest to him that he block his dad, my brother, from his political posts. The kid (well mid-40s kid) posted a completely reasonable 'the world has gone mad' post about the Russia stuff and his dad responded that he pitied how misguided he was. Brother buys into every right wing conspiracy theory. Sigh.

Yeah, I unfriended my dad and uncle. I wanted to them to effing know I am not having it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I want some laudanum right now! I have often thought that I wished I was a Victorian Lady and could Take To My Bed, but in reality that was probably awful.

The instermingled conversations about politics and the talking pirate dog on TV who does not teach yoga are making me so confused.

But I would be more comfortable with a pirate talking dog as president than our current one, actually.

My fault.

And I'll contribute to the confusion by mentioning that the woman on this episode of Hoarders has a really creepy relationship with her dolls. She doesn't want them insulted, or she won't be able to sell them.

Why would you name something Downward Dog if it had nothing to do with yoga?

I strongly suspect that a talking pirate dog who does not teach yoga would make a better president than 45.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I think a hoarder who doesn't want her dolls insulted otherwise she won't be able to sell them would make a better president than 45.
