YEP. one of the 45 points on the checklist in the Naked Communist is to degrade art in general, and that applies to music and architecture also.

Oh, I have :-). All the various asshats get phone calls and emails from me, including my own useless leftist rep and senators.

Because hubby and I dropped our income. No more income tax. We'll still be paying nominal social security taxes, until he files for his retirement. But no income tax. If you live simply, are debt free and move to a lower cost of living area it works for a lot of people.

Because I don't pay taxes anymore. Neither does hubby. When you live simply, it is quite easy to drop your income below the lowest tax bracket, especially if you relocate to a lower cost of living area.

YEP. He won. We know this, the leftists know this. Hell, the entire world probably knows this by now.

But regardless of who actually gets inaugurated on the 20th we are in deep shit.

Some of us aren't. More can pay the absolute minimum, legally and easily, but they seldom bother to.

YEP. We are working hard in AZ on our local legislature, and I will keep working on them on the ground until the day we move next week. And then continue working on them by phone and email beyond that.

State legislatures are easier to get to. The DC types have plenty of ways to insulate themselves from their constituents. Much harder on the local level.

Yep. Mitch is a turtle. But he's a snapping turtle. And I would wager long odds he and Cruz consulted on this.

I would guess it is. But, we prepare for the worst, hope and work hard for the best, and celebrate when preparation is sufficient for what we end up with in this house. Always have.

Mitch is a turtle, but he's a snapping turtle. You don't get to be in his position as long as he has been unless you are really good at the games. He is even better when he is in the minority, at least as far as his real employers are concerned.

Always. prepare for the worst. Hope and work hard for the best. Celebrate when your preparation is sufficient for what you end up with.

YEP. Even when you live on TDW, you miss shit, especially if you hang out on new lol.

I hope so too, but I put nothing past politicians, especially not with Mitch in charge of the senate. That turtle is a snapping turtle.

I think it would depend if online gambling is legal where you are. If it is, I'd look for a lawyer and see if you can get a class action going in places where it is legal to do in the first place.

When you go to make a post, it gives you a dropdown box of choices. If you choose Link, image or video it all goes in the title (but you can put in there "details in comments" and comment on your own post if you like).

Otherwise, choose the TEXT post option. Then you get a title and a text box, and you can drop links in the text box with your text if you like.

Yep, there are no set in stone deadlines really except the 20th. Try everything, and we may win. But we need to keep pressure on the state legislatures also, especially those who live in the contested states like me. Our state politicians are easier to get to.

Well I will say I have been watching politics since late Nixon and I have never seen anything quite this nuts. The current crop of asshats is outdoing themselves.

Nothing would surprise me when it comes to the asshats. And I have no doubt they planned this behind the scenes before Cruz did it. Nothing goes on in the senate Mitch doesn't know about, on either side.

Uniparty. I would bet that this was all planned behind closed doors somewhere. Political theater at its finest.
