Agreed, but we also have to be conscious of what they can (and more importantly, can’t) do. They could impeach them every day of the week, but getting enough votes in the Senate to convict and remove will be extremely difficult. No blaming Dems if the impeachment succeeds but conviction fails.

Don’t get complacent. They’re still going to try to cheat. Check your registration. Vote early if at all possible.

So many sexual assaults could be stopped if men had the courage at the locker room talk phase (on or offline) of just telling their boys “that’s fucked up, dude. You should show some respect for women.”

I was thinking about this today. As a person, if you're a billionaire, you're a failure. Maybe it's too much Franciscan influence on me, celebrating the life of St. Francis of Assisi, "the little poor one."

So much for being "pro-life." Saw the same thing once here when GOP officials held up an abortion clinic case until it landed with a Democratic judge to hurt him in the election.

@rosen.senate.gov tried to pass legislation simply stating that Trump's trade war against Canada must end. Republicans said no. A drop in Canadian tourism. $3 billion less in U.S. spending. Hospitality workers losing shifts and tips. "This was 100% avoidable. None of this had to happen."

Oh, he didn't even have some aide hold up the sign. One of them is his fellow dope, John Kennedy. Not sure who the other sap is, but likely another equally dumb (or is that dumm?) GOP Senator.

In the earliest days of what became the New Jerusalem Community with the Franciscan priest Richard Rohr, we teenagers would just hang out with one another taking, praying, etc. We called it "wasting time together." We became a vibrant community with the valuable time wasted together.

Heads up, Bookworms: There will likely be💀supply chain issues💀 this holiday season. So if there are specific books you have your heart set on for holiday gifting, I strongly suggest you buy/order them ahead of time (✨like now✨) rather than waiting until November/December.

ANOTHER DHS VOTER FRAUD CLAIM COLLAPSES Trump’s DHS claimed as many as 15,903 noncitizens were on Nevada’s voter rolls. Nevada pushed back and demanded evidence. 15,903 became 185. Nevada checked the 185. The new number: ZERO. Every single one was a US citizen.

Like everything else Trump “fixes,” the reflecting pool (along with the war in Iran, gas prices, beef prices, and mortgage rates) is in exponentially worse shape than when he started.

I work in the area of freight rating, reviewing invoices for shippers & receivers. The Fuel Surcharges being added on to freight bills for moving goods are higher than I've ever seen them in my 50 years of doing this work - as high as 40% to 50% added on to the bill (up from 20%-30% prewar).
