Trump stinks.
William Barr stinks.
Kamala Harris just sliced and diced the little swine like a cuisinart.
I just sent her a contribution.
Some days the sun shines despite the stink.
You go, girl!
William Barr? More like William (dis) Barr.
Best hashtag on the intertubes:#FUBARR
That would be Kamala, my friend.
spelling does not matter unless it is someone else.
OK, MODCA…..
I will try to remember that…😉
I had been thinking ocdam – but I like it.

'60 Cadillac?
Sounds like another song about uncle Neal.
So, why no vaccination legislation?
The governor was reluctant from a civil rights perspective – it's a big deal and should be cautiously considered before a parent or individual's right to choose is superceded by the government.
I have seen the movies and read the books and I get that even a little loss of rights is a Big Deal.
Smokers used to complain that anti-smoking legislation infringed on their rights to smoke. A backward upside down view that required them to have the right to make me consume their smoke in order for them to be free to choose to consume.
Bakers and other business owners want to preserve their right to reject customers and employees that they don't like based on race, age, gender, etc.
The proposed law created a minor administrative requirement but allowed anyone to continue opting out of vaccines and getting sick and infecting others.
Pro life and pro choice.
When the anti-vax crowd says they would rather they and their children would get sick and risk death, and that they have the right to choose medical treatments or not, I am sympathetic. But they do not have the choice to choose to make me and mine sick in order to preserve their anti-vax choice.
When the anti-vax /pro choice crowd says they reason they choose to avoid vaccines is because they believe vaccines are a plot for the government to plant tracking devices or that vaccines are a cover for an alien plan to enslave humans and take over of the world, I am not sympathetic.
There is no anthropogenic climate change. The US founders were all Christians, arguing on Christian themes so the US is a Christian nation and Jesus wants me to be rich. Gravity is optional. Neil Armstrong deserves an Emmy for faking the moon walk. Big Foot is real. Football doesn't cause brain damage. The earth is flat.
Tomorrow is May 4.
Play all the Star Wars games you want. But if you ever enjoyed an 8 hour work day and a 40 hour work week – read about Haymarket and the people who died there, protestors and police.
If you care about the 1st Amendment at all – read about Kent State and the casualties that occurred.
And just in case – Mexican Independence Day is September 16th.
But when is Cinco de Mayo?
Another legislative session, this one controlled by Dems, where nothing is done to protect me, my family, and all of us from distracted cell phone drivers who cause over 40 crashes per day on Colorado roads. Mother fuckers.
“Science” moves forward . . .
. . . but ignorance, hatred and racism remain.
When Anti-Immigrant Hatred Was Mainstream

(PS — The NYT paywall is down for three days, the article explaining (part of the reason) why is a good read on the value of real journalism:
Why The Times Is Taking Down Its Paywall for 3 Days

I saw that. It's cool but pointless for me. So many people here were posting links from N.Y.T. that I finally had to get a digital subscription so I could read them all.

The Sun has a good summary of all the bills that passed on the legislature's last day.
