I'm ok. Haven't seen smonster around, but I know she stays off FB at work. Will text her now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I used to think I couldn't get elected to a public office because I used to be a stripper, and that would surely come out, and well, FAMILY VALUES blahblahblah. But now, shoot, all I need to do is have a failed business and an assault charge, and I'm ready for government!

Nora, glad you're okay! That was a yuge tornado, from the news pics.

I'd feel far, far better with a President Pence. But with 90% approval with Republicans, there's no chance in hell Trump will be impeached.

Now, I'm not sure it will be possible for the Dems to win in 2020 (assuming more voter restrictions), but I think trying to appeal to working class whites is a mistake.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
And now there is a proposal in the House to dismantle the Department of Education entirely.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Pence would be in a very weak position if he took the presidency after an impeachment. He'd have very little sway.
Surely not EVERY Republican wants to completely dismantle the government. Am I being naive?
They want to privatize everything including education and the post-office. Because (a) then they can profit form it; and (b) they truly believe in a ruling class which has the better things because they have money which means they are better people. They want a permanent uber-rich class which has so much power and sway that they can steal elections with impunity, and jail or quietly kill their enemies. You know - like Russia.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
I've never really understood these Republican congresspeople who "hate government" and want to dismantle everything all while having their cushy work schedule and government benefits. And, you know, getting their salary from the government.

I could accept a feudal system if I thought our erstwhile feudal lords understood that it went both ways. Peasants may owe a feudal lord service, but the lord owed peasants support and holidays and two good feasts a year. And the peasants pretty much ran their own local courts. Richard III made sure those local courts were run in English, too, not Latin.
