Wednesday Get Over the Hump Free for All
Greetings, Village Meese. It’s Day 195 of the Resistance and time for another Get Over the Hump post and discussion thread.
I’ve decided that apart from a brief look back in the article links below, it’s a good day to deny the WH and its Resident very much of my (and your) time and attention. Because you can totally burn out on the volume of fail, and the onrushing of anxiety.
So check out the article links if you wish, and then let’s try some other random things.
WTFJH Yesterday – Day 194: Dictated.
Rantt – A Complete Breakdown Of Donald Trump’s 27th Unpresidented Week As POTUS
Shakesville: Bernie Sanders, What Are You Even Doing Now?
And now for something completely different…
Sometimes it helps to be reminded we are only a small planet after all…

That’s it for me, enjoy some beverage, chat with your friends and fellow Resistors and just take a moment to enjoy some part of your day.
Thank you for your patience. Love and peace, Village! Enjoy your Wednesday gathering.
We are #StrongerTogether
We are #TheResistance and #WePersist
{{{MomentaryGrace}}} – the past really is just yesterday for some of us. (And yes, I remember just about every one of those comic books and the TV shows they were based on. I also remember Ruby Bridges – she’s 3 years younger than I am.) Chelsea is a caring young woman who was ‘raised right’ by caring parents. And the fact that Hillary and her intelligent, progressive, possible and caring platform won significantly more votes (and would have won even more without voter suppression) than the Haters and their platform is why I have faith that we will get out of this nasty place sooner rather than later.
Thank you so much for the double duty. Gotta get back to work. {{{Moose Villagers}}}

Good morning, Pond Dwellers and thanks, MG, for doing double duty again. I have to say I do look forward to your cat memes each week. Soothes the ragged edges of my soul, if you will.
I was in squirrel last night and heard BBB is bojo’d and our own JSappAR is on permanent NR for uprating the comment. MB and fcvguy? were both in the diary so my money is on MB for the ban. A comment (in the “I’m a left wing socialist” diary) by BBB about “somebody needs to pull the bark off Sanders and his supporters and throw in a wood chipper”. The way it read, if he’d put in a comma, it was ok. Without the comma, banned. Stupid.
Well, I’m going to make another jab at locating this stray puppy in our neighborhood. This is the 2nd day my daughter has seen him but he runs away. Stay cool folks.
