Forgiving yourself can be much harder than forgiving other people. I'm not there yet. I have a tendency to share more personal information than I should or that anyone wants to hear. My first grade teacher's message on my first report card said, "Patty talks too much". Some things never change. I have strong opinions and usually don't mind sharing them. I like living alone, but sometimes it really sucks. #LGBTQ advocate #MentalHealthAdvocate #Soccer #MLS

TODAY IS THE DAY.

We're in Washington now and arrive in this afternoon. 🇨🇦

Our new home.

It's surreal, scary, wonderful.

My posting will be light until we're settled in a little.

Thank you for all your amazing replies and good wishes. I read them all, but can't reply back.

Big hugs to all of you. 🥰

@GottaLaff "O Canada" your Vancouver Whitecaps are playing tonight in Kansas City at 5:30 PM PST.

Even if you're not a "sports person" support the team. (They need it 😂 )

Congratulations on your move and glad your trip has been without incident. 🏔️ 🇨🇦

This was a fun one, so let's do it again. What is something you've learned that seems unlikely, even though you know it's true? Here's one I think about a lot:

Sight, while being something something many people are born with, is not an innate ability, but something we learn to do. People who were born blind or were blind for a long time, who get sight, have to learn to see.

@RickiTarr Babies are born ambidextrous and don't usually show a preference until they are about 18 months old, although, some do so sooner. Caregivers can "push" a child into choosing right vs left.

@realTuckFrumper Criticize her all you want. She's not wrong. The money that gets paid to members of Congress from religious organizations controls much more than anyone is willing to admit. Democrats have controlled the Presidency and both chambers of congress more than once in the last 2 decades, and they did nothing to protect women's rights and the rights of members of the LGBTQ community. Money is power and your representatives and senators and mine like that money.

I’m sure Aileen will get right on it 🙄

Fed prosecutors asked judge overseeing case against to bar TFG from public statements that “pose a significant, imminent, & foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents” participating in the prosecution.

The request to Judge Cannon follows false claim by Trump that FBI agents who searched his home in Aug 2022 were “authorized to shoot me” & “locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger”

@GeePawHill @CaseyL @GottaLaff

This case is from 1993, but shows that a Circuit Court has set precedent for removing a federal judge. It's a lot to read. Granted this was a long time ago & a different political climate & very different defendant

...Third Circuit issued a writ of mandamus pursuant to section
455(a), ordering Judge James McGirr Kelly of the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to disqualify himself...

@PattyHanson@mastodon.social avatar

@LinuxAndYarn @GeePawHill @CaseyL @GottaLaff I didn't intend to compare the behavior of the two judges. I think I even said they were different. My point was, and is, that the Third Circuit, at that time, removed him of their own accord, which was the question, proving a precedent. I can handle criticism if it is offered with honesty and after a full reading of my statement(s). Yours does not do that.

Do you have a friend or family member who works for the fed government in any capacity? Do you know someone who owns a business or works for a business that has government contracts that are its main source of revenue?

If Trump makes it back to the White House, GOP intends, within 1st 120 days, to purge most government agencies. The agencies that remain open will be staffed ONLY w/conservative loyalists. Detractors will be fired.

Taxes should be the least of Trump voters worries

Your reminder:

Reality Winner was held for over a year before being given a 5 year 3 month sentence under the Espionage Act for transmitting one report

Kendra Kingsbury’s case was similar to Trump’s initial transgressions, though less egregious. She received four years

Lawyer David McBride received 5 years 8 months for sharing classified material

Trump is free to threaten any judge and jury he pleases.

This system is a sick joke.

@GottaLaff NFL As a reminder, here's who is on this jury.

PattyHanson,
@PattyHanson@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff NFL Each time I read something about Trump sleeping during testimony, I question why the judge doesn't require him to be "eyes open" and then question Trump's ability to participate in his own defense. It seems odd that a defendant is permitted to sleep, or appear to sleep, when the outcome of the trial could result in jail. If it were anyone else there would be a question of competence.

PattyHanson,
@PattyHanson@mastodon.social avatar

@peachfront @GottaLaff I'm not sure if a defendant facing prison nods off. I know I wouldn't. I would want to hear every word spoken and see every facial expression. But that's me. Perhaps Trump thinks he isn't going to be convicted. Maybe he knows something the rest of us don't. Who knows? Whatever the reason, it disrespectful to the jury and the judge.

PattyHanson,
@PattyHanson@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff @peachfront In all honesty, if I were charged with a crime, I imagine my attorneys would want me to sleep. I have a really disruptive side. 😂

People shouldn't be calling for Alito's or Thomas' recusal(s). We should be calling - insisting - that they resign.

They are the epitome of unethical, biased and of poor moral character. They are both politically compromised.

The fact that "Chief" Justice Roberts is doing nothing is barely more reassuring. The opinions coming from the court are garbage and the "rule of law" has been tossed. Why should anyone adhere to any decision coming from them?

PattyHanson,
@PattyHanson@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff NFL It seems to me that the question is not whether they broke a campaign finance law, but whether they were concerned that they had so they found a way to cover it up. The crime is the cover up. The crime is that they falsified documents because THEY believed they had broken the law. Otherwise, why not be up front and let the chips fall where they may?

@br00t4c They could just as easily been amused by him and his responses. He's a character. He handled himself well and didn't allow Blanche to get the better of him. All the defense did was re-up that Cohen has been a prolific liar. They didn't even address the falsification of documents. It doesn't matter what campaign finance law is. Trump et al thought they broke the law and took steps to cover their tracks. That's the crime.

@Saltssaltgirl My daughter has taught social studies (mostly American History, regular, honors & AP) for 17 years. Here she is a few days ago with some of her students. I am so proud of her. She is a great teacher full of empathy, compassion and an honest desire to see her students achieve success. In my mind, there is not a job more important than teaching kids.
