@GottaLaff I read this out load to my 93 year old F-i-L. He has short term memory loss so he asked "Who is the President?" I said, "Joe Biden, and he is doing a GREAT JOB!" I told him what the Republicans wanted to do, cut social security & Medicare & give tax cuts to the rich & corporations, Then I read him Biden's letter.
I wish I had recorded it to see the big smile on his face. Then I told him the big troubles Trump is in d how he owes 1/2 a billion to New York & 91m to E Jean Carroll!
Well, in a sense, with every passing week, Trump and the Republicans repaint the dividing line in America, and make it wider. And wider, and wider. And deeper.
By all rights, the liberals should be expecting a tsunami election, but that's not happening. The politics of hate and division are strong, and has a deep history. I'd hate to think we have to relive that history, for absolutely no good reason...there is NEVER a good reason to follow in Hitler's footsteps.
for me, NEVER GOP. NEVER AGAIN. They've shown us more about themselves than we ever wanted to know.
No one hires 69 year olds for FT jobs. Hell, no one hires 60 year olds either. The elders in Congress are the only ones over 70 with paying jobs, unless you own your own company or you’re maybe the church secretary. It’s very hard to remain employed over age 60, even if you want to be!

I was lucky to get jobs after 40. One was because I didn't give up after being told no, two were because I knew the people in charge and they knew my work quality.
@GottaLaff well, I just woke up from a nap to read all this. I retired at 66 and it was damn hard to get to that age to lock in the number of years I needed to ensure my medical benefits. My supervisor kept going until she was 72. She died at home in her armchair. The young man who would take her place called me. It’s shocking to get that call when you thought she was home and had just needed a sick day. I’m 71 now and lucky as hell I paid in to social security my whole working life. I have a decent retirement. These Republicans all need to lose. Of course. But what they really need is utter repudiation in a landslide so overwhelming as to kick their asses to kingdom come on a tsunami of HELL NO.
@GottaLaff I’ll be 60 in a couple of months and, after 5 surgeries over the past 2.5 years, I plan on retiring at 62 and taking SSI. I can’t imagine working until 67 or 69. Hell I want to enjoy however many years I have left. If up to the GOP I’d retire then die.
@GottaLaff
Total dead on arrival garbage document. We are headed for a shutdown. I heard Barr just visited Steve Scalise so perhaps another Speaker oust is in the works. Please go and take that traitor Barr into custody now. JFC!
@GhostOnTheHalfShell@GottaLaff@steveo1049 Wasn't that the demand of the French aristocracy prior to the Revolution and they literally lost their heads in the process?
