TGIF!

1. Good morning, Meese. Thanks for your TGIF post, Batch, and happy Friday the 13th to us all. I don’t know what’s going to happen but do believe the truth is coming out and nobody can stop it. Not Nunes. Not dump. Nobody.

   71 and sunny today. I’ll take it.

2. Morning meese…Hot and muggy today with a high of 86…

   Yet another instance of Donald Trump proving he’s utterly incapable of being presidential. Stop with the name calling. Stop with the bullying. And stop with your Hillary Clinton obsession. You’re not being paid to tweet. Do your job! https://t.co/YiEbbybX62

3. {{{Batch}}} – Not sure when anything is going to blow up – not sure even if it will blow up rather than slowly let the air out and throw away the leaking balloon. We have to work on taking back Congress this year. Nothing will be done to restore the rule of law until we do. Mueller can put together an air-tight case, and he is, but the current Congress will not enforce it. To the extent that Mueller keeps the Rs’ attention on him and off the elections, all to the good. But we shouldn’t make the same mistake.

   My eyes are killing me again – yesterday was lovely, but full of pollen & dust – and I’m over an hour behind my usual readings & tweetings so I need to get to it. I’ll check back later of course. Probably lots later. LOL. moar {{{HUGS}}}

5. Thank you, Batch! I’ve been so focused on the goings-on in MI in advance of the our endorsement convention on Sunday that I haven’t paid much attention to the “outer” world. But now I’m finding that I don’t want to pay attention to the MI stuff either; the ugly is ramping up in a big way, and I’m just done before we’ve even held the convention. I’ve never enjoyed electoral politics, but I keep getting involved because someone has to. But I’m finding myself seriously [situationally] depressed by all of the MI shenanigans, and I think it may be time for me to back away from my involvement.

   To meet me in person is to meet someone who laughs often and loudly; who loves snark as much as the next person; and who is most often described as “wonky” and “intense”, but also “funny” and “fun.” (I know…it’s an odd combination.) But what I’m not is someone who can handle meanness. I see it, even if it’s directed at another person, and I feel it personally. It wounds me. And since I’ve never been able to build a protective armor against that, I’m wondering why I keep putting myself in situations where meanness is becoming the norm.

   If any of you ever buys a deserted island that has a good library, let me know. I’ll move there in a heartbeat.

   • {{{DoReMI}}} – any possible way you can connect with non-berner delegates before Sunday and basically show up as a block? With some “courtesy” rules that stop proceedings until the shouters stop shouting? Bullies don’t like being outnumbered – and simply, quietly, sitting and drinking tea or coffee while they shout but keeping any voting from happening until they stop might make a difference. Not a walkout – they’d just change quorum rules to say they were enough by themselves and then vote for everything they want. Have the majority, refuse to engage with nastiness, and wait them out. I can’t swear it will work but there’s a chance – if you can get your group together and plan it first. One more version of non-violent resistance. moar {{{HUGS}}}
