Rep. Raskin: "Republicans today are observing this solemn anniversary by doing exactly nothing. They've even refused to hang up the plaque, which a bipartisan congressional majority voted to put up to honor the officers who defended the Capitol & the peaceful transfer of power."

I don't mind saying publicly that I wish the 🍊💩🤡 would die. Horribly. Folks say, "But you're a Christian. Aren't you supposed to love thy neighbor?" Take a look at the explanation of that from Jesus: you see someone in trouble, you take care of him or her. You don't have to like them to love them 🧵

Rory loves his Christmas dragon!

Boo hiss on the naysayers. I am loving Stranger Things and can't wait for the finale.

A few years ago, we had a tree-lighting snowman. Throw the switch, and the snowman starts a grand orchestral carol that the tree lights then respond to with full bombast, a wonderful way to light up the room. Then it broke, and I can't find a replacement, nor sign it had ever existed. Sad face.
