Yeah, so my content is going to be quite varied.

I will post about Lego, Anime, Pokemon Go, and travel photos. I will share articles about science and geography and animals and other topics that interest me. But I will also rage about politics.

I'm sorry in advance.

So if I'm understanding this right, the Republicans refused to collaborate before the showdown, now refuse to collaborate until the shutdown ends, and just keep trying to pass the same bill, unchanged, over and over. Seems like a good example of insanity.

An interesting take on this, with some uncomfortable truths. For example, I understand that he can probably not drop rent costs immediately but hopefully he does work towards that goal... Instead of lying thru his teeth to get votes and power like the orange stain in the White House did.

Wait, Myanmar and Liberia are also included on that list. That seems unfair since they still use imperial units.

I'm surprised they know they passed so quickly. It used to take days even after finals for my high school teachers to get the grades out. 🤣

In Oregon standing in line at a toy store. Guy behind me is talking about how mail in ballots are fraud and something about how the popular vote is the problem. 😣

Guess there really are MAGGOTs everywhere. Want to argue but surrounded by kids it's perhaps not the place.

The top Democrats don't listen to her much at all (from what I can tell) but the Republicans will continue to scapegoat her. 😣

This is good, I was concerned if this would be the final episode of the series because so much has been left unresolved. The second cour has been a blast, like how it's ending.

I certainly have some bias against the politics and culture of the SE, but I hadn't considered before some of the long term effects that hurricanes have, like diverting money away from other projects to rebuild after each storm. An interesting watch.
