All in favor of requiring those seeking election to federal or state government to pass a test on basic government concepts, say “aye”. AYE!!!! This image does a better job of explaining Trump’s latest idiocy than anything else I’ve seen. Honestly, I never cease to be amazed at some of the crap people believe because of what politicians promised to them!
*snort* The day that Trump’s 2nd Amendment comments hit the press, my friend Neil was making comments like, “Where are my 19th Amendment people? You know what to do!” “21st Amendment people, rock on!”
So… where my 19th Amendment and 26th Amendment people??? Do your thing!
Let’s clear this up. Do you think that voting Republican is going stop abortion? Think again. This is why.
Don’t criticize what you can’t understand. I thought this list of 11 brutal truths every baby boomer needs to hear was fabulous. I’m smack on the border between being a Gen X’er and a Millenial so I could pretty much side with everythng that was said.
Olympics Take #1. While I think it’s certainly questionable as to whether or not Yulia Efimova should be swimming in these Olympics with the doping issue she has, I think Lilly King was being a brat about it. Wagging her finger was one thing; but refusing to shake Efimova’s hand afterwards and making catty remarks is quite another. Her reaction is inviting some serious schadenfreude if she ever slips up in any way in her life.
Olympics Take #2. Was it not completely awesome to see Michael Phelps school Chad Le Clos in the 200m butterfly?!?!?!?!? Especially after Le Clos was trying to get a reaction out of him the night before!
Phelps was classy about it. He did make the #1 signal on both hands, but he had the grace to go over and give Le Clos a hug after the race.
Olympics Take #3. I’m watching the all-around finals right now and while the results were a foregone conclusion, it’s still cool that we went 1-2 like we did in 2008. I’m also excited to see what Laurie Hernandez will be like in 4 years with more experience.
