Many thanks Heather. I can barely stand to read the news these days
McConnell 100% dedicated to stopping yet another president's agenda (1st Obama's). Graham telling people to kiss his ass, white trash potty mouthed Senator - nice. Trump stabbing McConnell and Pence in the back yet Pence slobbers all over Donald like a love sick puppy.…

Trump stabbing McConnell and Pence in the back yet Pence slobbers all over Donald like a love sick puppy. QTRepublicans ousting Cheney, a traditional Republican, for New Era Nazism. Aren't there any legitimate, non-wingnut, conservatives left in the general population or have the all swallowed the.poison pill of hate and ignorance? The most polite thing I can say at 2:00 a.m. is WTF?!
The longer the prosecutors putz around with regards to Donald & his band of thugs' many sins, including January 6th, the deeper he'll/they'll be able to dig in and latch on to the faithful. What a miserable state of affairs.
Good morning to those who are waking. Sleep well to those retiring. May your Thursday be a good one.
Good morning or sleep well, Daria. Overcast morning here in Paris. Voters in Scotland are having their Assembly elections today and the Scottish Nationalist Parties are vying for an absolute majority of seats and hope thus to be able to force Johnson to allow....and respect.... another Independence referendum........despite the publishing last week of a persistent £40 Billion hole in their annual tax and spending balance (10xs that previuosly allowed by EU regulations!) and which is currently funded 100% by the English! What a perspective!
I was visiting in Scotland another time (2014) they had a "go round" for independence. It was some of the most civilized debate I have ever heard. I do remember one very impassioned person saying how the "true Scotland" would be independent of all other nations. The very reasoned response was (and I paraphrase, this was 6 or so years ago) "I really do understand your position; have you thought about currency and just who or what we will back our currency with? It seems to me that without the UK or the EU, we will have a very hard time establishing something that can compete on the international market."
I was stunned at the respectful tenor and tone of a very emotional disagreement.
Daria, I am as sick of the news as you. It seems that tRump and his band of thugs are trying hard to make Jan 6 go away before the feds catch up with them. We can only hope that once the feds move in, there will be no escape hatch. And, Lindsay Graham will rue the day he he told corporate sponsors to "kiss my ass." He just gave sponsors another reason to spend their money elsewhere. I appreciate your measured response to a situation that is never-ending.
Disgusting. However, I also believe that it is becoming easier and easier for more people to see all the fissures and lies. It is becoming more difficult to maintain the tantrum. Life has gotten better for a lot of people and it will continue to get better. If democrats can just peel off a few more people and Biden doesn’t bite on the republican talking points this country may stumble into some amazing changes. Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately, the SNP still hasn't thought about the currency question! It is being swept under the rug...politely.
Thanks, Stuart, just woke up. Enjoy your Parisian day. I am jealous! The world is upside down and inside out.

Albert Einstein said, “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. ... and I’m not so sure about the universe.”
Perhaps in saying that he had those like Lindsay Graham in mind.

Love this!

Thank you, Daria, and to you.
