The Red Wave That Didn't Happen....Snow...and Catching Up

 

Slowly recovering from the election...where The House is STILL in play...but got to get on with life...cause I have shit to do.

                                                       Election Night
 

About the Red Wave...

Yeah...THAT didn't happen.

...who would have thought if you said disgusting things/hated about 75 percent of American Voters...they just might not vote for you, eh....

We've kept the Senate...got a lot of the Governorships....unloaded a lot of crazies and still stand a decent chance of getting the House.

Perhaps the BEST thing to come of this is how the GOP are all moving away from Trump and his MAGA zealots on the Group W Bench, there.

Like rats leaping from a sinking ship.

And he is angry about it.

So angry he has already attacked many of his own and threatens to reveal secrets about them.

To prove he meant business he blustered on Truth Social how he helped FIX DeSantis' win last time.

Face it...we are gonna need more popcorn...and it's going to get entertaining.

You know something else that has been entertaining?


Yeah...this guy.

Elon Musk bought Twitter.

And we knew because he immediately tweeted himself carrying a sink into the lobby.

And then it got...well...weird.

He threw around the "freedom" word a lot...it was a brand-new Twitter Day and you could say whatever you wanted.

Yeah...that worked out well.

A couple of posters used their newfound freedom to write Jew or the "N" word as many times as they could in 240 characters.

Most of us just blocked them...but Twitter's advertisers ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) were shocked and stunned and started pulling their adverts.

Now a normal person might think twice.

Not Elon.

He doubled down.

Threatening to create a wall of shame and expose those (advertisers) who walked away from him.

Yes...really.

And he had already fired a lot of the original staff so nobody was speaking up to stop him.

And he decided that anyone with 20 bucks a month could have a blue verified check mark...but Stephen King called him on it...and then he graciously dropped it to $8 a month...and there was no verification...

OMFG...how could THAT possibly go wrong???

Well..let me tell you.

In 24 hours there were George Bush Accounts...and George Washington...and people were imitating corporations complete with logos posting all kinds of false crap...and even 6 or 8 Elon Musk accounts.

It was pandemonium. 

Complete chaos.

...it was also the funniest shit to hit Twitter...maybe ever...

The tipping point seemed to be the Musk Accounts.

Sir Muskiness was NOT amused.

Now he of the liberator of speech decreed that if you did not put "parody" in the header...you were banned from Twitter forever.

LIFE.

So now we watch and wait...until the wheels fall off...


Or the bird dies.


 

Or whatever.

We're here for it.

John is starting the 5th week of treatment today! Nearly done!!!!!

By Thanksgiving or shortly after we are hoping to have something truly thankful for this year.

He is doing well...still eating, exercising, throwing snowballs, playing Euchre and winning, biking...and sent me photos of that beautiful full moon recently...

And also more hornets nests in the neighborhood that were revealed after the leaves fell.


What the hell????

And WHY have hornets taken over your neighborhood?

This makes 4 now!!!

Kaleb and Nancy and I enjoyed a Chinese Brunch together recently.

Don and I had our Fall Brunch together...discussing politics, football, vacations and...well life.

And Diane and I are planning a get together this week before the holidays arrive.

Woke Saturday to the first snowfall of the year!

Also laughed until I cried at the spectacle of the neighbor's poor Charlie cat who had obviously spent the night outside and was waiting to be let back in...with snow on his back...his tail thrashing from side to side...and the look on his face...a glare in his eyes...

"This is BULLSHIT..."

Back and forth from my patio to their door...picking up his paws and shaking the snow off them...

Poor Charlie.

We watched Kansas and The Colts win their games yesterday...and Jeff Saturday coach his very first NFL Game...kind of both hope he will be the coach for the rest of the season.

More snow on the way tomorrow...and off for provisions...today being the only day suppose to be in the 40's all week!

 

Have a Great One!

Love,

Carla
