The app for independent voices

Wow, this came at the perfect time.

Today has been a slog.

No bursts of creativity nor flashes of genius.

Today was all about pushing through and not giving up (even though I really wanted to).

I want politics to be about a better everyday life.

Here's what that can look like:

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Great discussions

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave

-Paid family & medical leave

-Universal childcare

-Universal pre-K

-Expanded Child Tax Credit

-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Jasmine Crockett's avatar

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

(Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security)

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

I’m fine with Trump being imprisoned forever due to a clerical error

A PERSONAL FAVOR

A number of years ago I discovered that my wife has a memory like an audio visual recording Rolodex. She remembers conversations we had the first week we met. My memory is not nearly that good. In fact relative to my wife’s my memory is horrible.

Here in this community, it is challenging remembering who said what, especially without a feature that allows us to search by name for peoples past comments.

My memory works by geography. That’s my filing system.

If you would be willing,…

This from the man who lives "somewhere on the road!" Yes, I am in the Boston area. I remember several other LFAA locations, but permission isn't granted to share them. PS, here's a song for Roland (not THE Song of Roland) on his travels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov4epAJRPMw

Well, I’ve been to all the places west of Texas that Johnny Cash is talking about except Catalina. Thanks TPJ that was sweet of you 🙏

Reading all your replies, Roland, sparked a memory. My cousin, Joey, was a truck driver, retired in the early 2000's. He knew every nook and cranny of every town you could name. I don't think there's a cartographer who could hold a candle to the likes of him or you when it comes to U.S. geography!

Like I said, I’m a geography nut. And when we’re talking about the US were talking about my home. I’m a complete bimbo when it comes to Canada, or even Mexico which is closer to me than Canada.

Eric O'Donnell's avatar

We wince in Canada. I’m positive “complete bimbo” is grossly exaggerated, but it would not be enough for some Americans. Admittedly from several decades ago but... A colleague of mine came from a family in Niagara Falls who owned a motel. They regularly fielded inquiries such as, “Can you walk to Toronto from here?” “How far from here until there’s skiing”? (in July). My wife and I were once doing a baseball trip down the east side of your country. We were golfing one day in Brookline MA (gor…

Roland (CA->WA)'s avatar

Ok, Eric, give me a break. Obviously that's not what I meant by "complete bimbo." I didn't mean I'm illiterate. What you are describing is the kind of stuff my family had to tolerate during my teens in Germany. We were all bilingual German-English. In public, we would often gab amongst ourselves in American English, and then we would listen to Germans making snide comments about how tacky the Americans are. We were taking the heat for the actual tacky Americans, because we were never part…

I’m so sorry that came across poorly. What I see even in this post is the trauma Trump inflicted. In my early days it seemed to me that this was a group of pessimistic, but interesting people. Then the thought of universal trauma occurred to me. How horrible.

It’s all good. You are venting about the clueless side of our society. 74 million voted for 45 last Nov. Your golfers had to have been in that group.
