Pura Vida

 


Actually, it went down around 4 pm yesterday. I held up well during the crisis and went grocery shopping. *insert slow tap dancing*
The joy of it all, it had been a month since my last outing.
My chauffer took me to three different locations and everyone was wearing a mask. I had my temperature taken at one location (Walmart owned by the way). My hands were wrinkled when I returned home due to all the sanitizing. I counted 7.

Instead of ranting about Trump, I wanted to share some calming beauty with you. It is the winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year, by Sergey Gorshkov. It was taken in far eastern Russia. The instant I saw this photo, I thought it was taken with a Leica camera but I wanted to verify. So I googled and googled and could not verify but I saw one of the supporters of Wildlife was Leica. I smiled. There is no lens as the German made Leica lens. It emits a 3-D effect and can texturalize anything.

Thank you Sergey and peace to all and to all a goodnight.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett Won’t Say How She’d Rule On Abortion, Healthcare, Marriage Equality, Or The Election

Abortion. Before her confirmation to the 7th Circuit in 2017, Barrett spent most of her career as a law professor at Notre Dame Law School. In that ...


At what point does the Supreme Court become so stacked with religious right-wing nut jobs that we are no longer seeing American justice being enforced, but God’s?


Dem Senator: "How are you doin' today, Judge Barrett?"

Barrett: "I'm sorry.  I can't answer in the abstract."

- Tea Pain tweet





The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

It’s kinda tragic to watch Trump’s show of machismo since he left the hospital.   Mustn’t show any weakness!  God forbid! Like the virus gives a sh-t.  His body is like one of his golf courses...just a bunch of poorly maintained holes & a couple of old white balls. - Bette Midler






Trump Takes Cheap Shot At Dr. Fauci
President Donald Trump is going after Dr. Anthony Fauci one day after the infectious disease expert blasted the Trump campaign for taking him out of context in an ad...“Actually, Tony’s pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications,” Trump wrote. “‘No problem, no masks.’ WHO no longer likes Lockdowns – just came out against. Trump was right. We saved 2,000,000 USA lives!!!”






Republican Shenanigans

Bare minimum, I deserve to be gaslit by smarter people. - kibblesmith tweet



TRUMP: SUE THE WOMEN!
President Donald Trump offered some unsolicited legal advice to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Monday afternoon....“He should sue the women, and all of those who illegally worked with them, for false and disgusting accusations!!!” the president advised. Trump clearly still remembered that his prior Supreme Court nominee was accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez 


Media. PLEASE stop using the term "conservative" judges when you mean "religious zealot" judges. - Randi Mayem Singer

Meanwhile, Americans Are Starving In The Wealthiest Country In The World
For many Americans across the country, the prospect of getting a second stimulus check from the government is a matter of life or death.

Donald Trump went from being on an oxygen tank to fully recovered from Covid in 4 days. Something isn’t adding up here.






Two 16 hour days. Covid is getting bad again at the hospital.  I am exhausted and can’t sleep. I am getting stage 2 pressure ulcers on the bridge of my nose from my N95 again.  My hands are dry, angry and hurt. I am fried. Burned out. Exhausted. Wear. A. Fucking. Mask. - Jennifer Williams tweet

Time To Deflate Photo

This is about a quarter mile from my home. All roads in and out have been this way for 4 days due to the heavy rains. The road crews are out there today. I'm sorta glad I don't go out much anymore!

Peace.
