(aside from the never-ending unpacking task before me). I'm keeping up with the news, probably more than most people and definitely more than my neighbors. OTOH, I'm watching a lot of Food Network, too.

Didn't he do something to fuck it up last time he was president?

Some folks didn't get the halftime show. I got most of it while I was watching it, but the layers of meaning...

Created a started pack - mostly for me, but you can use it, too!

North Carolina Republicans seek to block Democratic AG from challenging Trump's executive orders - NewsBreak Republican legislators in North Carolina want to block the state’s attorney general from fighting presidential executive orders in court. Senate Bill 58, f

North Carolina - where the legislators want to keep the AG from doing his job and the judge wants to selectively discard votes.

This is worth listening to. Yes. It is 4 hours long. But there are timestamps for each state so you can pick what you want to listen to. Of course I know how to say Appalachia. The correct way. 🍎at cha.
