This is one of those hard posts to write, you know, admitting a terrible truth because you simply cannot hold it in any longer, lest it continue to damage your psyche. So, um, yeah, here goes … Carlos has become Donald … dear god, I don’t know if I can say it … he’s Thing 45.

See, Carlos has joined a group promoting HIV testing and awareness for the Latino community in South Carolina. The group will be run within the guidelines of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control [DHEC] and Carlos is one of the group leaders. Of course, I was so proud of him and his desire to help and educate people, especially in an underserved community, but then he became … Thing 45.

The group was asked to create a logo  and they reached out to a local graphic artist who produced several ideas. I have a background in graphic arts and Carlos showed me some of the samples. I picked one and explained why I thought it best, but, after a group vote, another logo was chosen, and that was where Carlos turned to the Orange Side.

He did not like the outcome of that election, and so he began plotting a new election that might give him the results he wanted and said that some of the people who voted may not have seen all that they needed to see, and so their votes didn’t count.

Yes, my husband perpetuated a Big Lie. He’s Thing 45 … and, good goddess, does that mean  I’m Melanie????

On the upside, the logo chosen that he didn’t like, and neither did I, was nixed by DHEC as looking too political and so it was redone, and now Carlos likes it and has stopped demanding a recount.

In a nutshell, and Texas is all nutshell, guns are good, but being able to vote easily and fairly is bad.

Once more for the people in the back, raising the debt ceiling is not about preventing the government from spending more money, it’s about paying back money the government already spent, like the $7.8 trillion in debt that Thing 45 and the complicit GOP racked up in the last four years.

The GOP will fuck America rather than pay its bills.

The tide may be changing … in Kansas, Ian Camacho organized a protest on behalf of Look Ahead America to nonviolently express his views and meet people seeking justice for the January 6th insurrectionists.

Five people showed up.

Seriously.

US District Court Judge Robert Pitman has blocked enforcement of Texas' new abortion law, saying that from the moment it went into effect "women have been unlawfully prevented from exercising control over their lives in ways that are protected by the Constitution."

Smack.Down.

After news of yet another school shooting in Texas, Ted Cruz offered thoughts and prayers for about ten seconds, and then said, “We are here today because of the Biden border crisis."

The GOP stops caring about children once they’re out of the womb.

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham on Monday said it was a mistake to work for the former President.

Not a mistake, however, was to write a book and try to make some money off a bad decision, eh Steph?

Piss off.

I found this kind of shocking, but this week, for the first time in history, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was guarded by an all-female team.

Better far too late than never.

Carlos has always wanted to live in Scotland and now so do I.

This week Scotland has made history by becoming the first country in the world to make teaching LGBTQ+ history in schools mandatory.

Good news!
