Yes, I’m a real person. No, I haven’t posted much yet. Democrat. Kansan. I work in higher Ed, read the news, and am too busy blocking idiots to post.

Love Bob. ❤️. Always “visit” him out on the Navy Pier when I’m in Chicago.

I used to have several but don’t think I have them anymore. If I find one among my stuff, I’ll let you know (think I sold them when we were done homeschooling)

Consent to delay? Isn’t that permission to not complete?? (Also has he already spent the billion he made in 2025 on cryptocurrency deals?)

I didn’t appreciate him until I saw him as Horace Vandergelder opposite Barbra Streisand in hello Dolly

I’m one part excited and the other part is resistant. It’s one of those things where you love the books and don’t wanna face the possible disappointment in who is selected to play the main characters.

If you’re into great shoes, you might check out Fluevogs. They’re typically the thing “Debbie admires but cannot afford.”

25 comments and no one thinks this might be great for those who follow I-C-E? Something in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan, me thinks 😆

I agree with this - I’m not sure he’s that loyal to his religious buddies, but his bought and paid fors….

This is why I follow you. We’re both individuals who walked away from a party that no longer shared our values and you know that’s huge. The arguments you advanced are what I have shared with others on Bluesky & work. I get it - there’s so much going on but it’s not an either/or, it can be all.

I was thinking of Elisabeth Elliott in the same terms. It’s so bizarre to see such a swing from extreme modesty to such over sexualization from the party who claims to be the epitome from Christian values. Also, the corresponding swing from modest wealth to the “golden age.”

Also, I believe this might help us put more pressure on the sleeping Rs who think pretending the crazy doesn’t exist excuses them. This will only succeed w/the ones we have good relationships with & will consider what we say when we ask how they can reconcile their support & what they claim to value

I don’t care if they finally see the truth either - I believe we may benefit from the fighting.

And unfortunately, we know there are Democrats on that list, but I agree with Charlotte Clymer that we can’t shield anyone. When we say we want the list exposed then we have to mean every name on it.

Continue throwing it in their face bc they believe the Qanon conspiracy theory, Pizza Gate. They flocked to Tim Ballard‘s movie about child trafficking and right after the news broke of his treatment of women. We need to break up his base into small, fragmented groups

This isn’t about the list. It’s about the ever growing division in his support. Even Nick Fuentes is tweeting about the end of MAGA and scoffing at the new lie that the list was created by the Democrats. We need to keep the pressure up.

They will! There’s already a claim that the “deep state” destroyed it.

Because they’re more concerned they’ll have to pay more for what they buy there.

I view this as also being part of the debt he owes the rightwing evangelical base - the Huckabee end timers- who helped him get elected and wrote Project 2025.

In this type of situation, I ask my supervisor, “Which of my current projects do you want me to pull back from in order to add this new request?” Often, the new task is removed or placed on hold.

Same thing! I look at my 5 grands and think “What have we (boomers) done?” It’s not just him - it’s everything associated with quality of life we were able to have. 🥲

The Overlooked Black History of Memorial Day
Historians like the Pulitzer Prize winner David Blight have tried to raise awareness of freed slaves who decorated soldiers' graves in 1865

We must return to truthful communication - say clearly, “He is lying,” “He is committing fraud,” and remind the media consistently that they are complicit in covering up for him. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Opinion: Yes, There Was A Media Scandal In 2024. No, It Wasn’t About Joe Biden.
The political press corps started ‘normalizing’ Trump just weeks after Jan. 6, 2021, to get access. That’s a big reason Trump later won, not some ‘cover-up’ of Biden’s age.

Is “sidestepping laws” the same thing as committing crimes? Seems like it is, right?

You set the Insta pot to zero minutes on high pressure and all it takes to cook them is for it to come to pressure And then you can use the mechanism to let the pressure out.

The other thing I love to do in my Insta pot is steam vegetables. Depending on the amount of vegetables, I put half to 3/4 of a cup of water in it and then one of those metal units that you would put in a regular pot on the stove and then vegetables.

debbiephel.bsky.social @debbiephel.bsky.social · 10/05/2025
I should say that you technically can open the lid when the unit is under pressure, but then it will blow and you will be burned.

debbiephel.bsky.social @debbiephel.bsky.social · 10/05/2025
There’s a valve that rises up as the unit builds pressure. You cannot open the lid until the pressure is gone and that valve is back down flush with the lid. You can use the release mechanism to let the air out but rice is better when you let the valve do its thing - takes ~20 minutes

Super simple! The key is letting the pressure come down on its own.
