In todays episode of "WTH Texas" we have Gov Abbott banning over 800 books in school and public libraries, including The Ciderhouse Rules, because, you know, can't have people questioning rules/laws being imposed on the general public by people who have no clue! And, apparently, straight "romance" is ok - but gay romance is not (in school library books). I guess someone thinks the "gay" is going to rub off on their kids- again. Haven't we grown past this stupidity yet? Fahrenheit 451, Texas style. Ugh.

Not happy about some of the election results, Virginia and possibly New Jersey, but I saw it coming. The Democrats in Congress have to get their act together.

I'm tired, bored, and angry with thoughtless, immature, people, who are concerned and obsessed over who other people love and share their lives with, than they are about lying, cheating politicians, guns and gun violence, air and water pollution, obscene prices at the gas pump and the grocery store, racism, child porno, drunk drivers, and on and on.
I suggest if you don't approve of people other people love and share their lives with...don't look. They probably don't approve of your life choices either but realize it's none of their business.
One size does not fit all and it never will! Also, MYOB. look it up.

Bbbear, the Republicans have convinced some people that the republican party is the party of God. I know how silly that sounds to reasonable people. Our Founders knew how dangerous, divisive, and destructive, mixing religion with politics can be to a country.
Sadly, some politicians and religious leaders these days know it also and use it to divide people instead of unite them.
United we stand. Divided we fall. Choose wisely.

Yes and I hope they pass the other bll soon. it would help a lot in 2022. I am optimistic that if that bill gets to the president we will be in good shape as long as we get rid of the filibuster for voting. I think the may happen next if we pass the other bill. then if we pass the voting bills and pass the other bi I believe we ave Democracy.

The guy who impersonated Trump on SNL really nails his speech patterns. It's eerie. Also Kieran Culkin (Roman on Succession) seems like a sweetheart. The skit about trying to cancel Spectrum cable is a riot. Except it's too close to reality, just like the Trump impersonator.
You can always catch SNL on YouTube.
