A steaming pile of feces would be a better president than Trump, so... yeah. She would have been amazing.

At least you can pay out of pocket - looks like in the USA you won't be able to get one at all unless you're >= 65 or your doc says you need it. ๐Ÿ˜ก I'm 61 and I WANT MY F*ING COVID SHOT.

The cities are blue, especially Durham, Chapel Hill and Asheville. Raleigh and Charlotte also, though a bit more corporate. Other blue areas too but venture too far into the countryside and itโ€™s all red ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Thatโ€™s awesome but it doesnโ€™t begin to convey the size of the crowd! It started by the bull and there were too many to fit. Eventually formed a march to Central Park and it just went on forever!

He isn't wrong. This was a foster I had named Mica - we always joked that he knew he was out of our league.

Iโ€™m visiting my 87yo mom (D) and we tried watching the news. I let loose about 20 F ๐Ÿ’ฃs in about 20 seconds and just had to apologize and turn it off.

I watched about 20 seconds of this on the nightly news and release about 10 F-bombs in front of my 87-year-old Mom. ๐Ÿ˜†Luckily she's pretty laid back. Had to finally mute the TV in order to mute myself.

Thought this the second it happened. I feel like the truth is never going to come out and if it does, half the country won't believe it anyway.

I didnโ€™t see that, luckily, walked in after game had started. Heard there were boos too but itโ€™s really hard to tell usually. Party I went to nobody talked politics but it wouldโ€™ve been impossible for me not to flip him off if Iโ€™d seen that ugly mug on the big screen.
