Nancy, lots of Ds are working hard.

Nancy, lots of Ds are working hard. They may not get the national attention of Bernie and AOL or Walz, but they are working with people locally and publishing their stories about how they have been hurt by the current administration and this includes people in red areas. They have been holding well attended town halls in person and virtually. Now our state legislature (Oregon) is going to every county in the state to get feedback. Our D governor when she was first elected did the same.
I've only seen pictures of it and driven through the far NE corner once but haven't had time to go and spend a few weeks in its' obvious beauty. I hope to do that before I die.
A lot of eastern Oregon is high desert, beautiful in its own way. I did my fishing on the North Santiam which is on the west side of the Cascades. A lot of the area burned in 2020.
It depends on what you are talking about. I love Oregon for its beauty and variety of areas: mountains, high desert, ocean, Willamette Valley where I live. However, in some metrics, Oregon does not measure up well.
Oh absolutely, all kinds of wineries, run by all sorts of people. The problem for some Oregon wineries is that they were negotiating with distributers in Canada for a contract to supply Oregon wine as usual. Then death star started the tariff war and suddenly no one wanted to contract to buy Oregon wines. So it's not just bourbon and peanut butter. The best pinot noir I had was in a hole in the wall Mexican place in Dayton. It was so good, that a couple of us bought bottles....came from a very small acreage near Dayton. My husband drinks usually French reds as they are generally cheaper. I don't, but will drink a wee dram of single malt scotch neat if certain individuals depart this earth. I have a good supply.
I envy you the single malt. After writing postcards to Wisconsin voters for hours a bit of Laphroig would be glorious. Can remember buying it for less than $8 per bottle in NOLA in the 1970’s.
My, that is really cheap. I didn't drink scotch in those days. I can't remember how I came to enjoy single malt. I thought I didn't like scotch because I had only had a taste of a blend..truly awful. i can remember drinking Glava(sp?) in Scotland which is a liquor made from scotch. We met a couple of elderly English ladies at a hotel in Scotland and offered to buy them a drink after supper. One of them ordered a single malt and apparently they made a yearly trip to Scotland to buy a few bottles, so maybe I learned to enjoy it then. A couple years ago, we received a couple bottles of scotch as gifts and my husband is a bourbon drinker when he drinks whiskey. I would like to have the wee dram sooner rather than later! Kudos for the postcards.
Yes, it was truly inexpensive when you compare it to pre-Trump prices. I had some Glenlivet a few years ago, but it’s the heavy complexity of Laphoig that always gets to my taste buds. Hooray for single malt scotch!
No state does. I live in Indiana, whose outcomes for just about every indicator of quality of life is in the bottom 10 states or at the very bottom. I look forward to the day I can leave.
I'm making my sign now to take to the protest this afternoon where trump and senator mccormick will be attending the NCAA wrestling championships here in Philadelphia and we're taking our 11 and 13-yr-old grandchildren to see what people can do....
I wonder if Trump realizes that NCAA wrestling is NOTHING LIKE Linda McMahon's outfit the WWF. It's actual REAL competitive wrestling! Not the Hulk Hogan crap you see on TV.
Good for you Sophia! As a bunch of 'constituents' which is what we are, after all, some Representative needs to see that kind of expression (support!) so they can take a stand..., maybe get re-elected. I've been hard on politicians not making themselves known, but for them to 'jump and shout' there has got to be support. Seems like the MAGAtts grabbed that ball and ran with it while the 48% were all over the field. Constituents = Power. You Go, Sophia, and bring those kids. :))
The candidates in the Democratic Primary for Governor of NJ are airing TV ads attacking Trump and promising to protect people in NJ from him and Musk if elected. Of course those are just promises.
Not "just promises".., if those "candidates" see an outpouring of support from their CONSTITUENTS, they might be able to get something done. That's where our voice is. And, it's right here as well.

Oregon seems so far ahead of other states (eastern 2/3 probably excepted). My son lives there and he loves it.
The Eastern 2/3 of Oregon has lots of square miles and not very many voters. It does have a good fishing river.
I've only seen pictures of it and driven through the far NE corner once but haven't had time to go and spend a few weeks in its' obvious beauty. I hope to do that before I die.
A lot of eastern Oregon is high desert, beautiful in its own way. I did my fishing on the North Santiam which is on the west side of the Cascades. A lot of the area burned in 2020.
A lot of the 2/3rds wants to secede and join Idaho.

Is there still Oregon wine?
Oh absolutely, all kinds of wineries, run by all sorts of people. The problem for some Oregon wineries is that they were negotiating with distributers in Canada for a contract to supply Oregon wine as usual.

Indeed. One of life's true pleasures!
Frogs Leap! The name finally came back. It’s been a few years since I had it. Always a pleasure to drink though a bit expensive for me.

That is great! Even if just promises the ads bring hope and attention to this dire situation.
But even to publish such commentary invites Trump’s thugs to send pizzas. (Trying to spoil the fun of pizza too!)
We will overcome. Too many of us for Tramp to deal with!
