What is one thing you want to scream at someone about?

I snoozed all trump supporters and political posters about Oct 5th, so I am not having to see most of these.

Mine is is covid related...

This is not FOOTLOOSE having a dance in a barn to replace Homecoming isn't something to celebrate. It is an outbreak waiting to happen. Pep assemblies. Powder puff and stuff and the bonfire were bad enough.

That woman would be cut out of my life so fast she wouldn't know what happened to her. Don't ever spew your racism and fuck with my kid.

Speaking as a semi-socialist, we LOVE HALLOWEEN. What could be more socialistic than getting candy as a little kid and then paying it forward by giving away candy FOR FREE as an adult?  Based just on kids asking and looking cute, because it makes them and us happy? 

 

I told my Aunt last night she was a racist at dinner. I didn’t scream it but it still felt pretty good.

My neighbor told me yesterday that they are sending ballots to dogs because they have a license. A dog license. My other neighbor and I, who both have two dogs each and have not received a ballot, told him to turn off FOX. His wife just told him to shut up.

It shut her up and I didn’t have to hear any more about BLM protestors just being looters. So I’d call that a small win.

Well, I reached my limit with my Mom over a week ago and we haven’t talked since. It was UGLY. I’m not proud of how it played out, but I’m not sorry.

I offended her because I cursed during our argument. She’s offended me with her racism and hypocrisy draped in religion for YEARS, and I told her that in a variety of colorful ways. It reminded me of the horrible fights we would get in when I was teen. That’s why I’m not proud. How can she still press my buttons so hard when I’m 54??? But, it reinforced (again) that we can only have a good relationship if we interact on a very shallow basis, just like then and really forever.

The other part I’m not proud about is that I had called her on my recently deceased step-fathers birthday, to tell her I loved her and was thinking of her. The call ended after an hour+ long and very loud argument. Whoops! My husband heard me in the garage and I was on the 3rd floor.

Edited to add: She started it! Lol!

I want to scream about quarantine. Our high school is literally hanging onto in person school by a thread. Parents are in an uproar: SCHOOLS MUST STAY OPEN! Yet on Friday there were eight classes without teachers. Kids are getting sent home in droves because of exposure.

So what is going on? Kids in quarantine going to Halloween parties. Kids waiting on test results going to parties. A pep rally is scheduled for Thursday to honor the fall extracurriculars, because our last football game was cancelled because of the other team’s Covid.

I am so tired of this. I just want to scream about people who endanger others. I know it is their choice, but their choice affects others and they don’t see that. Or they don’t care.

You can’t have it both ways. Schools can’t stay open if you keep letting your exposed kids run all over.

When I heard Melania speak out against socialism I wondered if she even knew what it was.  I’m betting many people who are against socialism couldn’t define it.  They only know the term because tRump says to be against it.  

Joe is a socialist is the newest Fox trope. I just had to say to someone yesterday: “you do realize that Joe is a super moderate Democrat, right?” I don’t understand why people listen to Fox like it’s Jesus Christ talking directly to them.

And I’m just sickened by the people who have been conned by this cult of personality and are putting it above country. Want more of what we have right now? Stick with Trump.

In the words of my immortal bard aka The Boss:

There’s no art in this White House. There’s no literature, no poetry, no music. There are no pets in this White House. No loyal man’s best friend, no Socks, the family cat, no kids, Science fairs. No time when the president takes off his blue suit, red tie uniform and becomes human. Except when he puts on his white shirt and khaki pants uniform, and hides from the American people to play golf. There are no images of the first family enjoying themselves together in a moment of relaxation. No Obamas on the beach in Hawaii moments or Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport. No Reagans on horseback. No Kennedys playing touch football on the Cape. Where’d that country go? Where did all the fun, the joy and the expression of love and happiness go? We used to be the country that did the ice bucket challenge and raised millions for charity. We used to have a president who calmed and soothed the nation instead of dividing it. And the first lady who planted a garden instead of ripping one out. We are rudderless and joyless. We have lost the cultural aspects of society that make America great. We have lost our mojo, our fun, our happiness, our cheering on of others, the shared experience of humanity that makes it all worth it. The challenges and the triumphs that we shared and celebrated the unique can do spirit that America has always been known for. We are lost, we’ve lost so much in so short of time.

I got a little teary eyed reading that.  My goodness what has happened to us?  

On another note, has “the boss” agreed to leave his wife and run away with you yet?  

I want to scream all the time that all the things being predicted will happen if the socialist is elected ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AND AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS ADMINISTRATION! How the hell do his acolytes not see this? I can't stand it.
