I think I’m done moping. Last night, I was eating supper when I first heard Putin’s Pervert apologizing to Pervert Kava-Nazi and claiming his innocence had been proven. I won’t repeat my string of expletives. I also threw a bowl of chili at Trump. Fortunately it was almost empty. Even so, cleaning the TV, TV hutch, and floor from my wheelchair took over an hour. We have 28 days.

Fantasy Football Report:

Short Takes:
From YouTube (MoveOn Channel): Appalachian Great-Grandma Calls out the GOP
You tell them Portia! RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Robert Reich: Are You Suffering from Presidential Dysfunction?
The Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is almost right. The Reich on the right, the Republican Reich, is the reason we suffer from Residential (Trump is NOT a President.) Dysfunction. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From Alternet: In the midst of the controversial Supreme Court confirmation hearing for Brett Kavanaugh ($%^&#@!), Donald Trump stood on the lawn of the White House and said, “It’s a scary time for young men in America.” For the millions of women who’ve been sexually assaulted, it was rage-inducing to hear Donald Trump complain that men are the ones truly in danger.
Lynzy Lab decided to channel her anger into a song called It’s A Scary Time, and its is fan-freaking-tastic.
Click through for transcript. Kudos to Lynzy! RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

5:13 I can hear you salivating from here. Maybe Squatch can save him.
MoveOn – PREACH IT, Sister! [And this is why the triple goddess includes the maiden, the mother, and the crone – all are important, all ar powerful, and all scare the hell out of the GOP!]
Reich – Beautifully done, with good humor.
Scary – This is wonderful,and thank you for including it. I was going to say there’s a transcript at Daily Kos, but I see you have that covered too.
Cartoon – Disgusting.
Gee, do you suppose another place we need more people of color working is in newsrooms editing photos?
This is a scary time, but we can pull through ONLY if we get a Democratic majority in Congress. Remember: Losers don’t make policy. Look what happened with all the stupid laws and orders that have oozed out of the Oval Office ever since the Orange Ogre took over, to say nothing of our now Nazi-fied Supreme Court.
Did Kava-NAH’s swearing in actually preempt regular broadcast TV? I knew it was going to be televised, but I thought that meant by the likes of C-Span, CNN, Fox news (sic), etc.
I hardly watch any TV to begin with, and I don’t have cable TV (just internet), so I wasn’t subjected to it.
I don’t know. I wasn’t watching it live.
MOV: Work it!!! Granma!! Love this lady!! Dam, I could listen to her everyday!!
RR: That’s exactly what we did (me & hubs), when we mailed in our Early Voting ballots!! I went to PO to physically mail them.
AN: What a song!! Kudos to this young lady. Our young generation will lead us to victory. Just look at what Taylor Swift did, (my granddaughter sent me the link xo)

Prayers to those in FL and are in Michael’s path. At least 22 counties have issued evacuation orders ahead of Hurricane Michael, according to Florida Emergency Management.

Thank you Pat!! Of course you rock! I did not know Taylor Swift from Madonna, well, yeah, I guess I could have told which one was the latter, but now I have some serious respect for her.
Great minds fall in the same ditch.
Hey Mitch,
According to my gran-daughter, she IS awesome!! And, I agree with her.
MoveOn: I love Portia. I listened to her a couple of times and shared her to perk people up to get out and vote.
Reich: Well done and humorous. I shared him too.
Lynzy Lab: Love this girl. What a terrific way to channel her anger.
Cartoon: Yuck!!!
Thank you TomCat. Have a nice evening.
MoveOn: I saw Portia the first time you put her up here, and I still love her!
RRC: Very cool!
Alternet: Once again this is what happens when the lunatics are running the asylum! Mr. Delusional speaks out!
Lynzy: Wonderful. When is she doing a show with Taylor?
‘Toon: In the black heart of GOPIG darkness!
Pardon my unsavoury start. I usually joke a lot about barf bags and chucking-up my breakfast/lunch/diner, but in fact I have a very strong stomach which hardly turns queasy and if it does, I’m almost incapable of getting rid of whatever causes the problem. In short, I’m not prone to strong physical reactions to dirt(bags) or blood(suckers). Until yesterday, when I was catching up on some news and assaulted by a Drumpf video in which he apologized to Kavanaugh on behalf of the nation for the terrible onslaught and suffering he and his family had to endure at the hands of Democrats before he finally was voted in as a justice of SCOTUS. I was both dumbstruck and very nauseous and my blood pressure must have reached dangerous new levels. Even typing this, I feel I could jump out of my skin, so I fully understand why you threw your delicious chilli at Drumpf, TomCat. It is just all too much to bear for sane people, isn’t it. For me this was the last straw, I need to take my involvement in American politics down a notch or I won’t make it into the midterm elections. Lots of other Republican governments in dire need of my anger too, I’m afraid.
So Kudos to Portia, an big applause for a terribly smart and appealing ad by Robert Reich to vote, a standing ovation for talented Lynzy and her spot-on song, and thanks for the cartoon.
Bingo!
Brilliantly put Lona, i agree!!!
An almost empty bowl of chili, you were too kind TC ?
Brilliant Lynzy!!”GO VOTE!”
Thanks all! Hugs!
I exclaimed, “UGH!” and left the room in a bit of a fit when I heard Drumpf apologize. UGH! UGH!
