MIButterfly's JournalOne day last week, I fell asleep on the couch and was awakened by a knock on the front door
I was surprised because nobody ever knocks on my door. Curiosity got the better of me so I got up to go see who it was and as soon as I got to the door I remembered I had ordered a pizza before I dozed off! It's times like this that I wonder if I'm losing it once and for all. I mean, who forgets they ordered pizza?
Hey, both my teams are in New York today
The Cubs are playing the Mets and the Tigers are playing the Yankees. How about that?!
I get that there are extreme differences between the two political parties
but why the hate? It seems that Republicans and their followers hate us wirh the passion of a thousand burning suns. We're the scum of the earth with absolutely no redeemable qualities whatsoever in their minds. We have leaders in our party who are intelligent, articulate, pensive, thoughtful, who care about our country and its people and work hard to do what's best for everybody and they're subject to to all kinds of scorn and ridicule for the most ridiculous of reasons.
At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, it wasn't always like this. There used to some decorum and mutual respect across the aisle. Now it's hate, hate, hate, we can't work with you on anything because you're the evil, devil worshipping, baby-killing heathens that want to take money away from decent hard-working folks and give it to lazy, good-for-nothing welfare queens who are driving around in Cadillacs, eating filet mignon and drinking champagne in their mink coats on our dime.
All the good the Democrats have done is forgotten and swept away. All the social programs, including Social Security and Medicare, programs that have saved millions from falling into poverty in retirement, came from the Democrats and almost 100 years later, Republicans are still trying to find a way to get rid of them. Republicans are NOT FOR THE PEOPLE! When will Republican voters wake the hell up and realize that? They don't give a damn about us. They don't even give a damn about the people who vote for them. Yet, we are the evil ones.
It makes absolutely no sense to me. Is the Democratic Party perfect? No, it's not and that's okay. We're made up of humans and anything involving humans isn't going to perfect. But our hearts are in the right place and we try to do the right thing for everybody, not just a select few. We try to include everybody and welcome different points of view, not just step in line and follow the talking points du jour. Contrary to what the opposition erroneously and continually screeches about us, we don't hate America. We love our country and strive to make it better for everyone. We believe in fairness, justice and equality for EVERYBODY. I am proud to call myself a Democrat.
I don’t see where Republicans have anything to be proud of, especially with this administration. But hey, even though DJT has proven time and time again, on a daily basis that he's inadequate, incompetent and so obviously unqualified to be president, they still support him because he has the R. Better a complete and total idiot than any kind of Democrat. I just don't understand that kind of thinking.
My mother was a liberal Democrat and my uncle, her brother,
is a conservative Republican. You can imagine what fireworks flew every time the two of them got within two feet of each other. I wondered how two siblings, from the same background and class (first generation American) could have two such extreme opposing viewpoints. I once asked my mother how she became a Democrat and she said "a boyfriend." Boy was that a let-down. I thought she had had an epiphany but no, she was influenced by a boyfriend.
It's all good though because she instilled in me a sense of justice, fairness, equality and all the ideals that we Democrats stand for, so thanks, Mom!
My uncle, on the other hand, can't be reasoned with so I don't even try. I refuse to talk politics with him. That doesn't stop him from trying from time to time and you wouldn't believe some of the ignorant stuff he says. I don't take the bait, as hard as it may be. I just wait until he's finished and change the subject.
The Cubs are rained out again today!
That's yesterday in Chicago and today in New York! And the downpour I thought we'd get today because Chicago had it yesterday never materialized. Oh, it rained pretty heavy last night but it's been sunny and dry since I got up around 10:15 or so this morning.
I don't know; maybe when Joe Biden was president
he should've photoshoppped his head on Rocky's body or portrayed himself as Jesus; or sold watches, Bibles, shoes and Bitcoin with his name on them; or installed his family in important positions in his administration with absolutely no experience; or plastered his face all over DC: or held a wrestling championship on the front lawn of the White House; or taken down photos of every president he didn't like; or filled every room in the White House with cheap tacky gold enbellishments; or paved over the Rose Garden with concrete; or destroyed the East Wing so he could have a dance hall; or painted over the reflecting pool, etc., etc., etc. Maybe the rubes would have more respect for him now.
Naw, I don't think so. I think they'd still disrepect him because he's a Dumocrat (or Dumbocrat, which do you prefer? Vote now!) and a libtard.
I wish they'd leave President Biden alone
I just read online that Lindy Li, a former Democratic fundraiser, who switched parties due to the "cover up of Biden's cognitive decline" by Democratic insiders is writing a book called Unburdened all about it. Why can't people stop rehashing this same old bullshit? I am sick and tired of hearing about it when DJT's actual cognitive decline is on display day after day and day. How about writing about that, authors, pundits and so-called journalists?
They repeatedly run articles about President Biden having been "abandoned" and looking "bewildered" at the opening of President Obama's Presidential Center last week. No matter how innocent the reason may be for him looking around (maybe looking for someone or even just taking a last look around before he leaves), they always use that to make him look like a senile, befuddled pitiful old man. How about they repeatedly show DJT acting bewildered and looking like he doesn't know where the hell he is when he's sitting in the Oval Office? Or nodding off every time he sits down? Or when he refers to some unknown person as his daughter? Or when he claims a foreign leader begged for a picture with him? Or any of the thousand times he's looked like a senile, befuddled pitiful old man?
President Biden, on his worst day, is still a million times better and sharper than DJT is on ANY day! He's a private citizen now. I say leave him the hell alone. Stop picking on him. Let the man live out his retirement in peace. He deserves at least that much.
Death always comes in threes
I'm just saying.
It won't be who you think (or hope) it will be. It'll probably be somebody from way out in left field that nobody expected.
I'm sure someone else has brought up this question
What's up with Mitch McConnell? He went into the hospital over a week ago and is allegedly "receiving excellent care" and we haven't heard another word about it in over a week. No reason he went to the hospital, no diagnosis, no prognosis, nothing. We don't even know if he's still in the hospital.
A week is a long time to spend in the hospital. It has to be something serious.
I was checking out the Obama Presidential Center online today
and I can't wait to go there! It all looks so interesting and fascinating. I plan to go early next year when the hotels all lower their rates to get tourists to come to the Windy City in winter. Of course, it all depends on how hard tickets will be to get then. I may have to wait. I think it's going to be a very popular place.
I am so looking forward to it!
