Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

In the Light they can be defeated

 And my mid-week weekend began with some chest congestion and a slight sniffle.  I'm debating whether I want to waste another one of my free Covid tests.  I will probably wait and see if things progress.  These days it's too easy to slip into panic mode.  Nope, wrong word.  I don't panic. It's more of a son of a bitch mode, you know what I mean, more of a pain in the ass than anything else.  There's things needing to be done.  The washer and dryer arrive tomorrow.

My kitchen ceiling is patched and ready to be painted.  I checked with the Paint desk to see if Behr was going to be going on sale soon and was told 'no.'  Of course, having managed the paint department for a number of years, I can tell you more than likely a paint sale is coming up.  Over all, paint is not making its plan, so corporate will want to increase sales and to do that they'll run a sale.  The mark-up in paint, as with so many of the things we sell, is high, so a $5 or $10 off coupon is not really going to make a dint in the profit margin.

Biggie was supposed to go for bloodwork late this afternoon.  They called and postponed it; the vet had to take his father to an appointment.  No problem here.  While Biggie does lay around a lot, he's also going to be 8 years old on 12/25, which, given his size, means he's most likely considered nearing the age of a geriatric dog.  Not that he doesn't still have a lot of bounce, he just seems happier to be doing this, napping against my leg while we were waiting for the drywall contractor to finish.

Time to moisturize his nose again

So, the Defense of Marriage Act is going to get a vote today.  As it stands now, it will not codify same sex marriage into law because... wait for it... 3 of the Republicans who originally voted for it have reneged.  Mike Lee, a Trump ass-licker, added a religious amendment to the bill, to satisfy the GOP's every shrinking Christian minority.  Given the chance, Republicans will desperately try to force their mutating social conservatism onto America.

The Washington Post had an interesting take on the festering sore in the GOP.   Of course, this is something most of us knew a long time ago.  Trump's election loss, and the Big Lie, just tore away the bandages.  Their hatred for minorities, and I'm including everyone who isn't white, male, Christian, and straight, has always been there, masked by their deceit of really caring for all Americans.  It was Trump who openly began acknowledging this lie.  There were good people on both sides, he said, knowing white nationalists and supremacists would feel welcomed.  It didn't make a difference how deep your aniti-American hatred ran, as long as you were loyal to Trump and the GOP you were accepted.  There is a good side to this dark side of the Republican party.  Thanks to Trump, we now know their names, Fuentes being one of them.  They are no longer scurrying around in the shadows.  In the light, they can be fought and defeated.

  1. Fingers crossed it's not covid. But I'm like you, I don't panic - just get irritated with it!

    1. The congestion is just about gone, so I'm wondering if it had to more to do with the drywall dust then anything else.

  2. I sure hope you feel better and that it's not covid. Meanwhile I'll be very surprised if the Marriage Act qualifies. Qualifying that and abortion has been promised for way too long.

    1. It won't be codified into law, so the Cracker Jack Crazies can take it to the Supreme Court and get it thrown out.

  3. Oh no! Hope it's just a passing cold.
    And eight years is a lot for a big dog, right? I live with a fifteen year old chihuahua mix. She's stumbling a little but at lunch time she still plays.

    And you know the Repugs will not let that Defense of Marriage Act pass. It's how they get money from the Talibangelists. The Dems cannot do shit because the Repugs will torpedo anything.
    And Cheeto did not 'change' the GOP. He showed us who they are.

    XOXO

    1. The bill passed by 61 votes, that's 11 Republicans. The Cracker Jack Crazy Christians are flipping out.

  4. EmptyG denounced Fuentes today and then Twitter unleashed the videos where she appeared at one of his Nazi get Togethers.
