@JohnnyApplesauce a small apple pie?

@Jolenealaska boo

Hi Baby! I was hoping I'd see you tonight.

oh

?

for why?

pining for me? :D

Of course!

I also was hoping for someone to vent to.

The shootings last weekend and all that came with them

I am just so damned sick and tired of it.

it's all video games' fault of course

look at all the other countries that have video games and mass shootings

oh wait...

brb

I keep coming back to not wanting to believe what has become evident. So many people in this country have values so opposed to my own that I don't want anything ever to do with them.

the two party system at work

what's amazing, in a horrible way, is the fact that the Republican supporters seem to be in favour of anything, even if it hurts them, provided it hurts the 'Liberals' more

It's been an interesting journey with the guy I'm helping with school. I'm pretty sure I've pulled the blinders off a little, at least about Trump.

It's a very unusual relationship.

The generational thing gives me hope (if we're talking about the same thing)

younger people being more liberal

I figure it can only be a good thing that since this time last election, four year's worth of young people have reached the age of majority, and four year's worth of old people have died.

The 2020 POTUS election will be my first since turning 50. There has been a shift in the way it feels.

indeed

how about this Epstein thing?

GAWD

if that isn't straight out of a John Grisham or Le Carre novel I don't know what is

It is it is

i mean, the shocking thing is how blatant it was

names come out, and a man on suicide watch apparently commits suicide the next day

they are increasingly giving zero fucks

There are WAAAY too many candidates for "they" here.

Context is my super power

And I'm not sure either ;p

Of course I immediately assume it was done expressly for Trump.

THat said, this seems... the dumbest way to do it.

@Jolenealaska the extremely rich

I mean, not even a "heart attack" ._.

basically all the people he's been blackmailing all these years

they probably have a club

@JourneymanGeek Good point.

I'm not talking russian level "Oh, we totally wanted you to know we did it"

I mean, maximum-security federal lockup in Manhattan, and I keep thinking about the American resident journalist killed by the Saudis.

@Jolenealaska oh that one was "We don't think anyone will do anything to us"

At worst, is knowing the dude's a wreck and letting him do it himself.

There is just no way this isn't hugely corrupt at its core, but I predict that it will never be "solved".

too many vested interests

Good morning!

How is everyone doing?

Hi Cindy, you caught me just as I was crawling into bed. I brought my tablet with me, but that's the one thing that seems to work to put me to sleep.

Sleep tight! Catch you later.
