This is so much more serious because it is real life but I cannot stop thinking about the Love Actually speech from PM Hugh Grant. I need someone to clip the best parts of Carney's and set it to the Love Actually speech theme. Please and thank you.

Awww and she was so good at absolutely sucking at her job. Honestly a little worried about what happens if a non-buffoon gets the job.

Yes, before Jonald T Dump, a lot of immigration rights activists called Obama "the deporter in chief." They basically "called" our present situation, seeing & rightfully fearing the potential and now actual overreach and vigilante-ism of ICE & CPB.

Egads.

(But also, thank you, Decade Ago Me for doing mirror selfie style blogging. When I die at a very old age, this photo needs to be poster-sized at my Celebration of Life ceremony.)

Ok but shhhhh dont let Jonald T Dump et al hear about this.

I'd have cheered the last bit too.

For the first time in my life I'm one of the Covid+ in a Very High level state! And I got a concussion on the 2nd day of infection! 🤕 It was a very un-merry Covid concussion Christmas.

He's probably backed up because every time he tries to poop at a public area while on patrol he's haunted by jeers and whistles and can't empty his bowels in the face of his deep-seated shame.

The old auntie got out of her mobility cart to tell them to eff off. That was my favorite part. Gahd, I loathe these absolute naziwannabe loozahz.
