Somebody seeing that I live in Maine called my hubby a potato farmer. As a Georgian I resented being called a Georgia peach but now that sounds better. Maine is so much more than taters and so much better than the other 3 states & 2 foreign countries I’ve lived in!
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
@SteveCollinsSJ@grahamformaine If they do conventions, too many will be kept out. I physically can’t attend. Losing the ability to vote is my worst outcome. Throwing up my hands and yelling crap is not a pretty picture.
SOUND UP!! Trump fans called Biden Sleepy Joe for years
Now I need MAGA to explain this video with a straight face. 💯
Whatever you do, DO NOT share this.
Would be a shame if Sleepy Don went viral. 🤣

@SenGillibrand My hubby and I spend $400 a month and can’t afford that. $30 a day? We try to eat healthy and I have a condition that doesn’t allow a lot of foods. Could we healthier on our reduced budget? Yes but reality intrudes. And, surprise, we don’t quality for food stamps.
@madrid_mike Can’t tell you how exciting this is. We’ve spent a vast majority of our lives in arhens and the gerrymanders have been insane over the years!
