And things have started...

In WV: No surprise that Trump and Biden immediately were the projected winners.

In Wyoming County, Haley is only pulling 4.9%. What is with Wyomings?

MD: Too early to call. But I'm going to go out on a limb and say Trump and Biden. 😂

NE: Haley is already pulling over 25% with 17% of the vote counted.

WV: There is only one county in which I think I would not be burned as a witch. 😂

Two. Berkeley County. Of course. It's Berkeley. Not Wyoming.

WV: Jason Palmer is pulling over 25% in one of the counties. Wow.

Correction: Over 22% in two counties.

WV: Jim Justice won the Senate GOP primary. I don't think this was a surprise.

@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

WV: Haley is only pulling 10.6% right now. However, in Kanawha County, which I am guessing is the biggest county, Haley has over 19%.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

WV: Joe Biden is pulling only 72.4% of the vote. In some counties, it is just over 50%.

In Kanawha County, the biggest county (I think), he is pulling 81%.

WV is interesting.

They seem to be very different in WV. 😂

@Lizette603_23

I can only imagine.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

WV: Over 90% of the votes are in, and Haley has just 9.5%.

In the 2020 GOP primary, Joe Walsh and Bill Weld have 1.81% and 1.77%, respectively.

Right now, Trump has 88.3%, and in 2020, he had 94.39%.

Ruben Gallego is a great candidate, and Kari Lake is not.

"In Washington, Republicans say there are more appealing Senate races on which to focus their limited resources. And in Arizona, they are increasingly warning that Lake’s divisive persona and instinct for provocation could sabotage them yet again."

When the GOP moves out of a state to focus efforts elsewhere, Trump's numbers will take a hit.

The Rivian ones are way more popular in my town. Only one Cybertruck spotted so far, and it is shocking how ridiculous it looks.

It truly resembles a trashcan.

Yesterday, I was told by my son's teacher that he got upset when another child answered the classroom door as he was the door monitor. My son said that he hated the fucking school and disrupted the class.

He not only got in trouble for this at home, but he had to sit in the office and miss two recesses today.

The story didn't end here, however. I went to school to pick him up today, and I saw several kids walking around with tiny pots with marigolds. I immediately realized these were Mother's Day gifts. We don't celebrate Mother's Day. Too hard on my son. He was adopted from foster care, and he is working through a lot with his biological mother.

The teacher handed me the citation from the day before. No big deal.

Then I saw one of my son's classmates with a potted marigold. And I realized what happened. I asked the classmate when they made the gift, and he said yesterday.

So, I went to talk to his teacher and aide. Yep, the outburst happened after they made Mother's Day gifts, and...

And my son refused to make one.

No one put two and two together.

The district's failure to provide trauma-informed training has been one of the issues derailing our IEP meetings.

And here we are again. With another IEP meeting set for May 21, and another incident in which the staff has not been adequately trained.

And the most frustrating part? The school has a consultant coming to the site to provide behavioral support. The district hired a consultant to give a two-hour training on trauma, but no one will approve of her coming into my son's classroom and working with his teachers directly.

She is at the site several hours a week working with teachers on school-wide issues concerning behavior, but no one will contract with her to work with our son's individual teachers.

In other news, my husband is announcing tonight that he is not seeking re-election.

That means in just six months, I get to go public with my concerns at school board meetings.

Did I mention that they already contracted with a specialist who deals with trauma and is currently on site several hours a week?

The Democratic Party is hiring!

And it is interesting to see in which states this hiring is occurring.

Florida has eight jobs listed, and Ohio has 14.

Virginia and Oklahoma are next with each having four job openings.

Just overheard a pundit say that talking about the Parasite that Ate His Brain is nothing that should be discussed as it is only a distraction.

No. If we are talking about Biden's age, we need to talk about RFK Jr.'s brain parasite.

He had a parasite that ate his brain OR he thought he had a parasite that ate his brain OR he lied in a deposition to get out of owing money in his divorce proceeding.

TBH learning the RFK Jr. is suffering from the after-effects of mercury poisoning and being munched on by brain worms makes me feel a LOT better about him. The poor dear is obviously doing the best he can under the circumstances …

And told this story to get out of a work order in a divorce proceeding.

A very messy divorce, after which his ex-wife killed herself.

What cracks me up is when you go to a restaurant, and they ask if you've been there before, and then they say, "Well, we do things a little different here", and then it's exactly like every other restaurant, but more expensive.

We went to Michael Voltaggio's Ink. The waiter said this to us. It was true.
