@jaketapper Emily Dickinson said it best:

Much Madness is divinest Sense -
To a discerning Eye -
Much Sense - the starkest Madness -
’Tis the Majority
In this, as all, prevail -
Assent - and you are sane -
Demur - you’re straightway dangerous -
And handled with a Chain -

Second verse, same as the first….

Now, however, the lesson is how to deal with mistakes—some made 8 years ago. After 4, they apologized for pulling the football away from Charlie Brown and fixed it. Four years further down the road, they took the ball home & want 5¢ for help.

@elonmusk If looking for a higher birth rate in the US, perhaps eliminating telecommuting options without providing robust child care subsidies is not a great place to start.

@CNN It’s “the People’s House,” not “the GOP’s house of Mean Girl infighting.” Stop trying to make “fetch” happen, Jim.

@CNN @donlemon @wolfblitzer @ErinBurnett @andersoncooper PLEASE cover this: houseless woman and and mother and daughter volunteers, intentionally run down. One dead, two critical. A symptom of the political environment. https://t.co/bYwV5yRipx

Donald T and Terrible, Horrible, No-Good Very Bad Day.

This pairs well with #TrumpOrgGuilty and #Jan6thCommittee announcements today!

Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock will win Georgia’s Senate runoff, CNN projects, giving Democrats an additional seat in the Senate next year. https://t.co/kfTNYW07AR

@JoJoFromJerz That aged well.

[Virginia Bou Merhi @Ginnie_BouMerhi]

@CNN But if no one said “gay,” is it still a crime in Florida?

Ok. You wanna sell me a cleaning product, quit showing me perky housewives with an expensive blowout and full makeup doing chores in a cute outfit.

Mom reality: begrudgingly using a product rocking 5 year old yoga pants, a 1980s band t-shirt, mismatched socks, and a messy bun.

Some parents get their kids toys on Black Friday…I got mine their second #covidvaccine. They were crazy brave, and I feel like an elephant has been lifted off my chest. #nottodayrona

[Virginia Bou Merhi @Ginnie_BouMerhi]

The older I get and the more kids I have, the more my legitimate #lifegoal becomes mastering the Mary Poppins “snap” method of cleaning.

This. This is why vaccine mandates for medical workers take precedence over personal choice—“Do No Harm” means taking all precautions to prevent loss of life.

More than 10,000 patients caught Covid-19 in a hospital, analysis shows. Some never made it out

Who would have thought the most frightening, unsettling, and generally unnecessary thing to come out of “Fear Factor” would be the host. #JoeRogan https://t.co/vsCzMutHXj

So, if someone could kindly remind @Sen_JoeManchin that he, is not, in fact, President, that’d be great.

[Virginia Bou Merhi @Ginnie_BouMerhi]

@GillianMcKeith Maybe because your “deeply held religious beliefs” could kill people. You’re free to sacrifice your job to hold to your beliefs, but you were also willing to sacrifice others’ lives, safety, and family. In the “right to life, liberty…”most agree life takes precedence.

[Virginia Bou Merhi @Ginnie_BouMerhi]

@CNN He really shouldn’t worry. He should just have a beer. We hear he likes beer. Don’t you like beer? Better yet, it doesn’t even matter if the beer likes you back, you can just take it because you want to.

Apparently, one of our folding chairs was VERY mad yesterday. I swear the kids sense a weakness in The Force with the chaos of school starting. Twins: why God invented magic erasers.

Just in case anyone needs a visual representation of an IQ of 12…or an opportunistic bottom-feeder.

My apologies to the actual fish who are legitimate bottom-feeders, purposefully performing a useful role in life, for the comparison.
