AFAIK, Roy Edroso came up with "Just the Tip Trumpers".

OK, it was good to be reminded that there are still important things happening out there besides the president who lost the popular vote attempting to install one third of the supreme court with the eager assistance of a Republican majority in the senate that actually represents far less than half of the citizenry.

It rained a little last night, so the Creek fire three ridges east of here only grew to 248,000 acres and the increased relative humidity is significantly slowing its spread.

Anyone (like me, who grew up with an older brother who was a biker) who has had any dealings with speed freaks (meth users) recognizes the chemically induced bipolar behavior on such obvious display by our president.

I actually try to not watch or listen to the ridiculous bastard at all because that way I only see and hear about him about half of all my waking hours, but when I do, I'm like "Shit, he can't even stand up without leaning on the podium and he sounds like he just got back from his lobotomy" or "That is the very behavior Dr. Nelson told me to avoid if I didn't want to have another stroke."

Yesterday while we were down in Oakhurst getting groceries, we drove past a couple of cheerful young women on the sidewalk spinning Biden/Harris signs and gave them the thumbs up while hollering "Hell yeah!" It was good to see them there, and to see (at least while we were driving past) that they weren't getting a bunch of shit from the passing motorists in this conservative part of this big, blue state.

Then, a little farther up the road, in the parking lot to the new and as of yet unopened motel complex, there were dozens and dozens of parked firetrucks with logos from all over the damn place. The one on the end was from Suisun City, which is just up the road from the East Bay. It kinda reminded us that there really is still a functioning society out there, ready to do what they can in times of crisis for folks they don't even know.

Thank you again for the podcast, now the fight has begun in earnest.
Yes, I know it was already raging, but I figure that you know what I'm saying.
