Looks like Secretary of Defense Esper will be filing for unemployment soon.

Quick update on our primary. Looks like all 3 of our congresspeople will be female. One incumbent is sure to keep her seat. One is running for the first time as the incumbent (male) is running for Senate. Those two are firmly Democrat. The third is the one I was talking about yesterday. It will be a battle between the two women who faced off in 2018. The incumbent (Dem) and her opposition. It was a narrow win the last time, hoping she can do it again.
Really glad to see Steve King in Iowa defeated in his primary.

I know, Steve King out! I legit threw my arms in the air when I saw it. Touch down!
I say we need to keep seeing all the strange things the current occupant of the WH does. And then watch his supporters try to justify them. Down with tyranny!
Too many exclamation points, but I am jazzed and hoping for change, for a change.
P.S. What's with the "be kind" announcement? Did I miss some snarkiness? Was it us? Or someone else for once..

.S. What's with the "be kind" announcement? Did I miss some snarkiness? Was it us? Or someone else for once.. I was wondering about this too. I am so done with Trump and his lies. Supposedly he said when he was in the bunker the other night he was down there to inspect it.

I don't know what the "be kind" thing is all about. I must have missed something.
The kindest thing we can do is fight against cruel, evil, murderous bullies. Being kind is calling them out and removing them from society. Kindnes is defending those who are being treated unkind, hurt, or killed.
Kindness isn't weak. It's strong and determined.
Evil doers do not deserve kindness. They deserve to be treated the way they treat others. Being kind to evil is like casting pearls among swine. They will trample on your pearls, then turn and attack you.
Yes, be kind to those who deserve it. Be cautious and aware of those who don't.
End of rant. Sorry.

Bunker Bitch and Moscow Mitch.
"Experts tell police to stop using tear gas." Doctors warn tear gas can aggravate Covid-19 symptoms and spread the disease by inducing coughing. In my local paper today.
I was wondering about that and it seems I was right.

In my local paper today. I was wondering about that and it seems I was right. could be intentional. black and brown communities are the ones most affected by Covid in the US so wouldn't surprise me if there is a greater plan going on. the cops won't get it of course. they are decked out in more PPE than the actual healthcare workers. dying over bunker bitch. haha!

Sorry. exactly. kindness has many avenues. it takes the form of many things, including being passionate for and wanting change for those who have been marginalized and wronged in this country for centuries. it takes the form of being indignant over the treatment of our brothers and sisters of color and the systemic racism they have had to live amongst every single day of their lives. it takes the form of not wanting people to die both from police brutality and covid-19 when people refused to wear masks because their biggest inconvenience was they wanted a hair cut or want a trip to the mall. it comes in the form of respectful discourse on current events.
