So …because we live in a house with animals, we once again needed to have the carpets cleaned—we have family visiting in a couple of weeks, too, so there’s that.

We called the company we normally use and they came out and cleaned the rugs and everything is nice and new and purty for guests, but … after Darnell finished working we sat in the kitchen chatting for a moment and writing out the check. We offered him some tea …because it’s the south and that’s what you do … and h accepted. But then he asked us how we make the tea.

“Lipton and organic sugar,” I say.

And he proceeds to tell us that, after completing another job, the homeowner offered him some ta and as he was drinking the tea, the client told him they make their tea with tea leaves and pot leaves.

Seriously. I told Darnell that was almost like getting roofied.

Only in the South.

An Indiana man, listed in court papers as John Doe 1, is suing Father James Grear, the Catholic church, and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lafayette.

John Doe 1 claims Grear, his former priest, sexually abused him at a Catholic youth rally in 1982. He returned home after the rally, and later attended confession in his home church where he told Bishop Raymond Gallagher what happened to him. Gallagher told him to “forget about the abuse, to ask God to forgive him, and not to disclose the abuse to anyone else.”

That’s the Catholic church; blaming the victim and saving themselves for eons.

First Lady Melanie ______is taking her “Be Best” campaign to Africa—home of those “shithole” countries her husband referred to—because there are no children in this country who could benefit from her own experience of being married to the biggest bully of them all.

Like, oh, I dunno, kids in cages?

In 2016, Ilhan Omar, a Somali-American, was elected a Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party member of the Minnesota House of Representatives becoming the first Somali-American legislator elected to office in the United States.

Today, Omar is positioned to become only one of two Muslim-American women to … hopefully … win a congressional primary election—the other is Michigan Democratic House nominee Rashida Tlaib. So, who exactly is Ilhan Omar?

“I’m a legislator, a refugee, and a working mom. But above all, I’m an organizer. And I’m ready to organize for the America we deserve … We started this campaign to prove people are ready and willing to fight for an America that works for all of us. To every staff member, volunteer, donor, and voter, this win is just as much yours as it is mine. I will fight in Congress to uplift the voices of the LGBTQIA+ community, and especially when that intersects with other marginalized identities. I will fight to end the epidemic of bullying and violence against queer youth. Young LGBTQIA+ are disproportionately affected by mental illness, homelessness, and drug abuse and addiction. We must treat these issues as a public health crisis. Together, we will move our district, state and nation forward.”

Forward. Omar’s campaign revolve around Medicare for all, abolishing ICE, tuition-free college, and raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Forward; not backwards like our current leadership.

Best meme I saw this whole week about Lindsey Graham’s hissy fit at the Kavanaugh hearings said:

Funny, cuz it’s true.

We all know _____ is a misogynistic pig, but it was painfully on display at a press conference this week when ABC News White House correspondent Cecilia Vega was given the chance to ask a question.

The Fat Bastard first claimed that Vega was in a “state of shock” that he called on her, but she replied:

“I’m not, thank you …”

And the pig interrupted by saying:

“I know you’re not thinking. You never do.”

Yes. He did. And because he’s a lying piece of filth who surrounds himself with other lying pieces of filth, when the White House released the transcript of the exchange, they claimed _____ actually said:

“I know you’re not thanking. You never do.”

And they seriously expect people to believe their own ears over a lying, misogynistic dirtbag.

Not today Satan.

And if any of you still support this man, well, F**k off.

After mocking a disabled reporter on the campaign trail, after mocking John McCain for being a prisoner of war, after mocking a family who lost their son in war, the other night he mocked Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, a victim of sexual assault.

Now, we know that his most ardent supporters are evangelicals, but if they can overlook all of this and still cheer him, they have lost all meaning of being a Good Christian and are, in fact, vile little angry racist sheep.

Who will burn in hell.

This week the State Department began imposing a new policy restricting visas for the same-sex partners of staff of U.S.-based international organizations, such as the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

Cuz, you know,_____ hates the gays, and hates any policy enacted by Obama.

I’m not one for medical shows—they tend to get very graphic these days—but I caught a preview of New Amsterdam the other day and the Heat Meter went off.

It stars Ryan Eggold, who’s handsome, in away, but he has a wry smile and twinkle in his wink that makes me wanna play doctor with him.

And it also stars Jocko Sims who is JPH … Just Plain Hot.

I may have to check myself into New Amsterdam …for a physical.
