this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Thank you, Steph.
I hope I remembered all that correctly. I'm kind of spotty on government/politics/history.
Republicans are talking big, but I have no faith they'll intervene if Trump does fire Mueller. They'll mumble things about how they're disappointed or some bullshit, but they won't do anything.
We have got to flip Congress in the mid-terms. I saw a quote from Ted Cruz that said "Let me tell you right now: the left is going to show up. They will crawl over broken glass in November to vote." No shit, Sherlock. You sound a little afraid of losing your job.
Although maybe he means that literally. At this point, I would be 100% unsurprised if polling places were surrounded by broken glass that people have to crawl over to vote.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Cruz only just really started campaigning, but so far, Beto O'Rourke is out-fundraising him.

Yeah, that seems like the way things will go.

It is going to be a nasty summer for political ads, again. We have my vile governor trying to unseat our Dem senator too. No idea how that will go. It stunned me that people voted for Scott twice for the governor position already. Turnout would be nice. Sooooo many states have had people dropped from the registration lists and/or make it as hard as possible for people in Dem districts to vote.

Oh well, apparently the HS picked another head coach. (hear my sigh of relief) Out of a pool of several great choices they went with a guy that was one of the school's prior basketball stars. He has minimal coaching experience, swears at the kids, and has other issues. Bottom line, I wish them well and am super happy to get my husband back to do lots of other things on the list!

Aw, it's Omar Sharif's birthday. He was my mom's celebrity crush back in the day, which worked out well for my dad who looks probably more like him as they both age.
Diet Coke Zesty Blood Orange tastes a lot better than I expected. Not like Coke at all, basically, just orangey.

I remember Watergate, but I don't remember a lot of people abandoning Nixon. But, then, he was more of a standard Republican than Trump ever has been - he had a history of relationships and loyalties with Congress and agency heads.
sigh ... there's also the possibility of a situation with Panama ...

Good grief, Todd! I hadn't even read about the Panama crap. So many rage inducting stories that some get lost in the shuffle.
