Thrive to spite them

I called Congress offices today. Tillis' staffer told me they couldn't have responded sooner to Puerto Rico because of the vast infrastructure damage. And I was so pissed I didn't even say "then why could Pitbull land a plane there? Why could the cruise lines get there?"

This kind of thing is what happens when business people with no knowledge of government decided they can do things better. It's an embarrassment. I said that as well.

I also said that unless the Senator does something anytyhing he says along "thoughs and prayers" might as well be blah blah blah because it's just as meaningless.

Of course the FIRST comment I saw on FB about the shooting was someone saying it was a false flag to take guns away.

And I saw Lin Manuel Miranda is getting death threats in FB comments for his criticism of Trump

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I saw that, too. Not surprised, because people are horrible.

I am very pessimistic and gloomy today.

then why could Pitbull land a plane there?

This might be my favorite response to anything, ever. How is it that PITBULL is a more effective emergency responder than the US government?!?!?!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

If I were Mark Cuban I'd be pouring money into disaster relief and crowing about how Trump wasn't an effective enough leader to keep up despite all the US government's resources.

Our wings are not tired.

Also Tesla stepping up and getting hundreds of batteries there and working with others to get desperately needed power. Yay for good guys when DC is filled with incompetence.

I've been stress-eating all day, and I'm afraid I just grabbed a handful of m&ms that were not actually up for grabs! Oops.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'm dealing with shit by yelling at politicians on Twitter.
