@JHMatthewson I think "The Rusty Goat" fits your style. Have fun in T-town!

The Alito logic of "The Constitution makes no reference to (insert-protected-right), and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision" should scare everyone today! Old white dudes should not be deciding what a woman can do with their own body! #RoeVsWade

@JHMatthewson I feel the same way, all the time.

Frustrated drivers stuck in down pour traffic as I saunter by as @nightmaresonwax bass pelts my ear drums. Abandon those cars friends! Let the rain slick your skin, feel life, as it falls down upon you...

[Kelly Braden @kellybraden]

@JHMatthewson Oh no! Say it so, yo.

Maybe if those innocent Uvalde children were wrapped in wombs, they would have been afforded protection to "their right to life". Only in America do we arbitrarily choose not to protect our citizens from gun violence.

Rest in love, Mark Lanegan - a voice so full of life! You will be missed.

Those who ban / burn books are always the antagonists in future books.

Santa might get all the attention from NORAD, but those of us in the know always remember to put out porridge for Nisse with a pat of butter on the top to show our gratitude & avoid mischief.

Thankfulness - to use rosemary lovingly planted by your daughter, to add lovely flavor to a lovely Thanksgiving meat feast.

@MirandaLBkr @Covid451 @smotus @KevinMKruse Our founders would definitely be against our current military that exists at a perpetual state of war (for profit). It's one thing to provide for "common defense", but we use that rhetoric to perpetuate a "common offense" worldwide, and we wonder why "certain people" "hate us".

[Kelly Braden @kellybraden]

@MirandaLBkr @Covid451 @smotus @KevinMKruse Our founders we vehemently against ALL standing armies. They had just defeated the British army that was garrisoned literally in colonial homes (3rd amendment, no one talks about). I think our founders would have major issues with "war weaponry" in common hands (ie, AR-15's).

@MirandaLBkr @Covid451 @smotus @KevinMKruse It's sad, how many people continue to spend money on things (cars, guns, MAGA swag, etc) that send them into deeper debt and deeper self-loathing, seeking to follow snake oil salespeople for a way out. It's sad, and sad that it erodes trust in society.

@ambernoelle So true. So, very true!

@alex_zee You mean those benches where they remove the horizontal "sitting" part, so "those people" can't sit/sleep on them? Looks like more bad public policy & wasteful use of tax dollars that will solve nothing.

@cspan @RepGosar He lost the argument at "mischaracterizations". Everything blabbed after that belongs in the compost pile.

"What we say & what we do, matters!"

Well said @AOC - inciting violence is NEVER okay.

@Kenny_Mayne Caravan may have been optioned to the minors earlier this year, yet pundits are still confident that Caravan will make a return to the majors in time for Christmas. The rivalry over the Joseph & Mary shut out by Bethlehem 2000+ seasons ago still lingers in fans' hearts & minds.
