Yep, the two kiddos are back in school now and routines will once again rule the days, Monday through Friday anyway because the weekends are for fun and doughnuts on Sunday!
I think I'll start blogging a bit more regularly now since I absolutely have no distractions *sighing* and routine is supposed to be good for your mental health, and Lord knows I need all the help I can get.
...that is written daily but in the case of this blog only sometimes shared.
As I said the other day, everyone is away and I've been left to my own devices. Not reading, certainly no housework, no late-night tv shows, carousing, or even decent meals! But I digress, as y'all may or may not know, in times of stress, especially of the political kind, I tend to rewatch The West Wing.
Yes, all 7 seasons. (At present, I'm
Today, after watching the CNN broadcast of the National Association of Black Journalists Convention in which, as many of y'all may already know, TFG was asked to attend a Q&A moderated by three well-known and accomplished Black journalists, all of whom happen to be women. The performance by TFG was insulting and demeaning not only to the women on the stage, the people in the audience, and every single person within viewing, reading, smoke signal range, or possessing a can attached to a string with a can at the other end!
*insert short break to watch the one where Lord John Marbury arrives*
I had to turn the sound down and resort to reading live fact-checking on my computer because I could no longer tolerate the lies he was spewing, nor his godawful voice! I was also sending and receiving messages from others who were also watching.
My take on all of it will not surprise anyone given that y'all know it was with great reluctance that I stopped calling TFG by a series of expletives and have resorted to calling him That Fat Git* abbreviated to TFG. In my mind, he's still the REDACTED and will continue to be that until he leaves this mortal coil.
Here's ONE of my takes: OMG, if this event isn’t enough to get POC to realize what an incompetent racist fool he is, we are doomed to a future of stupidity
I do like the take from the live analysis on the New York Times:
One clip I would expect from this event that we will see in future advertising is when ABC's Rachel Scott asked, “My question is on those rioters who assaulted officers. Would you pardon those people?” And Trump replied without hesitation, “Oh absolutely, I would.” (emphasis MINE)
The White House Press Secretary also weighed in:
“The White House press secretary, Karine Jean Pierre, just responded to Trump’s comments about Vice President Kamala Harris’s race at a news briefing, calling them “repulsive” and “insulting” and adding that “no one has any right to tell someone who they are.”
“She is the vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris. We have to put some respect on her name, period,” Ms. Pierre added.”
