All meetinged out

I had 12 meetings on my calendar today. TWELVE. No one is that important.

Anyway, we’re still in R&R mode since I won’t be vacationing any time soon.

There are bloggers in this country who can not get away for vacation until September. They’re tired, they’re cranky and they are irritable with their bosses in the real world. My group has the sweetest people on earth. (Hey, thanks for the cupcakes today!) Imagine what it’s like for them to have to put up with me.

Some bloggers haven’t been on vacation since 2011. But for price of a grande Flat White at Starbucks, you can give this blogger a much needed extended weekend this summer.

With your gift, the blogger will have the energy to write more. You can give her the gift of a new bathing suit. A hat. Sunscreen. In return, she will send you postcards from her destination. (She just got a new passport for that quick getaway to Canada)

Don’t you want to make a difference to some blogger’s life? To help her get through the Trump era so that she can help YOU get through the Trump era? Isn’t it worth one Venti? One lemon raspberry biscotti?

Thank you.

(I have no idea how this thingy works)

******************************

Trump pulled us out of the UN Human Rights commission. Always a good sign.

And then there’s this:

Yeah, I’m betting the specter of losing Medicare might even get some of the most dedicated older Trumpers’ attention.

(Oh, yes, he would do that. Social security too. Yes, we know you’ve paid into both all your working life and you don’t have a pension. He does not care. Neither does the rest of the GOP. Welcome to post-rational America!)

Walk home song according to my mental state:

    I hope I don’t raise PM’s blood pressure too much. 😉

    Media Loathed Hillary So Much They Forgot She Was Running Against Donald Trump

    • They didn’t forget. They thought he was more benign. They still don’t take him seriously and don’t consider him a clear and present danger which is big problem for all of us.

  2. Happy Juneteenth!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth

    (I just did that to annoy any lurking cr@wd@ds.) 😈

  3. TOXIC CUTENESS ALERT!

  4. From Wonkette: America Is the Wire Mother

    https://www.wonkette.com/america-is-the-wire-mother

    And in 20 years, we’ll wonder why there are so many Central American terrorists who hate America. We may have to launch a travel ban and a deportation campaign.

    Thanks a lot, Mediocre White Folks of the USA. 😡

  5. Welp, the USA just quit the UN Human Rights Council. 👿

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/19/us-quits-un-human-rights-council-cesspool-political-bias

    Even if we finally get this abomination and his minions out of office, and the rest of us–the majority–manage to rise up and beat the Mediocre Petulant White Folks into political impotence, our country may have no influence left in the larger world.

    Putin will go down in history as a fucking genius.

    Ascended Madoka forgive me, but I hope Rod Serling is Putin’s judge in the afterlife.

  6. From the comment thread on “America Is the Wire Mother”:

    On the bus home from the grocery store today, I saw a man get on with a black t-shirt and some very large text in white, which was centered in the front, and left no wiggle room for anyone approaching this man:

    MANAFORT
    ATTICA

    FLYNN
    LEAVENWORTH

    TRUMP
    GITMO

    Yes.

    I would like to add:

    PUTIN
    TUMBRIL 😈

  7. It’s actually 25:45, but the point remains valid.

  8. THIS JUST IN: Godwin suspends Godwin’s Law.

  9. ‘tender age shelters’ what the fucking hell is going on?!!!

    • Orwell: “I MEANT 1984 TO BE A SATIRE AND A WARNING, NOT A MADOKA-DAMNED INSTRUCTION MANUAL!!!1!” 👿

    • Where Are The Girls?

      • Secret brothels for the GOP elite, probably.

        The Comet Ping Pong hoax was a tip-off; everything is projection with these petaQs.

  10. We are all Rachel tonight.

  11. GOP is on a Kamikaze mission with trump. Whatever is left of it anyway.

  12. That DHS bitch was driven out of a restaurant in DC today. Check this thing out, playing the stomach turning audio from Propublica to fundraiser attendees at the trump hotel. Fuck them. SHUN THEM!

    Something big has to give. He is becoming more cocky and more cruel.

  13. Good night.

    This never gets old.
