The asshole could not even do that….
Is that “!” really necessary? What the fuck?
It was a signal of what was to come:
Of course he is spewing today…
I hate tRump. He is such a fucking asshole.

Running late. I feel on my knees last night, and into a split. I am feeling the pain today. Hope everyone is doing ok….
Ouch! I hope you will heal up quickly
Sorry JJ. Take care.
I’ve had too much going on and haven’t kept up with lots of stuff, so I’ve missed what it is you’re doing that’s being kinda hard on your bod, by the sound of it! Splits? Are you nuts? 😀 (I couldn’t do splits even when I was ten.) What are you up to??
What kind of training are you doing these days, JJ?
I’m learning how to do roller derby.

You do you, baby, and I really mean it. Smooches.
Oh maaaan. I am jealous. I love anything to do with rollerskates/rollerblades. It’s been years since I’ve had the opportunity to do any of that at all. When I was back on skates briefly several years ago, I had to be so careful a fast walker overtook me. :redface:
I’m taking it up again though as soon as I get a bit settled.
Have fun! It looks like you’re with a great group!
Lots of good Kavanaugh cartoons. He oozes dishonesty and privilege — makes my skin crawl.
What’s with the gin blossoms on his face? I thought I was getting over my contempt for Condoleezza Rice. Wrong.
Rubio’s calling for tougher sanctions? Trump’s EO must be worthless. Sounds like nothing happens unless Trump feels like it, and of course he won’t lift a finger against Russian interference.
Get rid of Braille? Braille? It’s not even pink and in your face and ugly (unlike say the Dump).
Aside from his absence of any humanity, he’s just so obscenely weird.
He’s like Hitler and his inner circle. They, too, hated any sort of handicap. Remember that crippled people (the noun is despicable, the adjective is simply descriptive-I, for instance, am old but not An Old) and the mentally infirm were the lab rats for Zyklon-B. Apparently, being utterly heartless and soulless is attractive and WINNING.
Yes, I seem to remember that disabled people were ahead of Jews in the extermination queue. What an appalling time. And within living memory, we’re headed straight down the same road. How is it possible.
I don’t know but we have to hold on.
h/t to Delphyne. I could have missed this since Twitter now doesn’t show me all of the tweets from people I follow.
I’ve been using that, but I still get “likes” from other people.
Now I see that I do too, but they’re not nearly as bad as before.
“…in a different place” = “I’m a puppet”
WTAF?
(I’ve been saying that too often since Nov 2016.)
Good.
Hope she makes it.
Jesus Christ.
(He’s a he, actually. And, in Russia, described as the leader and/or founder. PR members have courage and some effective demonstrations, but also fairly large boatloads of unexamined sexist politics internally.)
