Sunday Reads: No Books

When I saw that tweet above, it made such a statement on the tRump nation.

Whilst practicing solar distancing, Parker Solar Probe caught this rare glimpse of the twin tails on comet NEOWISE.☄ The twin tails are seen more clearly in this WISPR instrument processed image, which increased contrast and removed excess brightness from scattered sunlight, revealing more de-"tails". C/2020 F3 NEOWISE was discovered by NASA’s Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), on March 27. Since it's discovery the comet has been spotted by several NASA spacecraft, including Parker Solar Probe, NASA’s Solar and Terrestrial Relations Observatory, the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, and astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

    Trump – the worst person on the planet. Hands down.

    And we are forced to wait another 3-4 months to rid ourselves of this unfit monster. Even that is not a guarantee.

    He is capable of anything, no holds barred.

    I saw that “bookcase” in Betsy De Vos’s video background. You’d think if she even had any books, she would have put some on the shelves. She probably doesn’t read any more than Trump does.

      Kinda feel sorry for DeVos. If there was anything on the shelf except Trumpie books, the base would go crazy. Plus, QAnon would discover that if you read the titles backward they’re an alien message!

      But if it was all Trumpie books, the rest of us would laugh our heads off.

      What’s a billionaire to do?

      Evangelicals don’t read books. You go their houses and not one book around. Their kids don’t have any books either. My friend Mary used to volunteer at our daughter’s first grade class and she had to help this one kid try to read to get some pizza certificate. There were no books in her house and no one ever read to her. Kid was a mess by high school.

        So true. I was a volunteer Mom in my kids school and was asked to tutor an 8 year old in reading.

        The child came from a very religious family but apparently they did not read books. The poor kid had no idea who Goldilocks, Hanzel and Gretl or any of the familiar characters from children’s books were because no one had ever read to her. They considered reading a sin.

        No wonder these Evangelicals are as simple minded as they come across. They regard everything as sinful even children’s books.

        They seem to grow up lacking imagination among other things.

    I sincerely hope Dump doesn’t have a 91% chance. He’s a few points behind Biden in Texas now.
