That rambling post from yesterday was not very well thought out, mostly stream of consciousness rambling, but necessary. I just don't understand how everyone became so hateful and Us v. Them. Is it social media and all the fake news and Russian bots messing with every one's minds? Who knows? How is it possible to prove or disprove any of these things?
I do know that when I bring up how I feel to anyone, especially people in my family, they immediately go on the defense and start the whole "Yeah, well what about Bill Clinton?" or even worse my own mother pulled this shit on me "We put up with 8 years of Obama, you can live through 4 years of Trump".
Why does talking about how awful one person is mean we have to compare and contrast to anyone else? Just recognize that you have backed a losing horse and get off of it and start again with more knowledge and choose better. I don't believe our country will be able to recover from much more of this administration. It is unbelievable the damage that has already been started, the relationships with other countries that have been eroded. We have lost all credibility and no way are we considered the number one country in the world, a world power and all that. There is not one area of our lives that hasn't been negatively affected. I am beyond scared and truly do not know where we can go from here.
In the good news column we have some good choices for the next election to put up as candidates to help right this ship. We have Elizabeth Warren, Julian Castro (our former mayor and hometown favorite), possibly Beto O'Rourke (we should hear more about this in the coming weeks), and a host of others are still reviewing their options. Surely, we can find 2 great, dynamic, strong candidates to get us back on track. I would love to see Cory Booker and Kamala Harris get in this.
Today is the Women's March, the 3rd annual. And sadly, I did not make it to ours. Our local march turned into a rally and we had cold weather blow in overnight and I wasn't able to get there. They changed it to a rally because the date fell 2 days before the Martin Luther King March on Monday. The MLK march here is usually the largest or one of the largest in the country. They expect at least 300,000 participants. So, the Women's March kind of got lost this year.
If you are experiencing these same emotions and feelings and have any words or advice to help, please share in the comments. I need to find some healthy coping skills. Thanks for coming by and reading.

Denied Holy Communion by Snape?
Did you read the story last week about the woman who was denied Holy Communion at her mother's funeral? Seems that there is a lot of controversy regarding this.
For me it's mostly about the priest and his having poor judgment, timing and manners. The way I understand things is this:
1. The victim here is Barbara Johnson, a lesbian in a committed relationship.
2. Barbara's mother died and during the service, while she was at the altar in front of her mother's coffin, the priest looks at her and covers the Host and says, "you are living with a woman and in the eyes of the church that is a sin."
3. Then the priest, Rev. Marcel Guarnizo, left the service and there was no one to accompany the body and family to the graveside portion of the funeral.
This is bad.
I understand when you are going to communion you are supposed to be in a state of grace, but that is supposed to be between you and God. Not for a priest to call you out publicly with the whole congregation as witnesses.
And have you seen this guy?
I am sorry, but I find it really hard to be serious when I see the priest and and can only think . . . .
The whole thing is beyond awful. That poor woman losing her mother, being patronized and called out like that by the very place she would go for solace. Where will she go now?
And if I were the dearly departed? Imagine your spirit looking down and seeing your child treated so shabbily. It breaks my heart.

I'm Lisa Pie and I don't approve of all of these messages
You know that I live in the great state of Texas, right? And you must know that our state foisted that sorry ass Shrub on you as president, and for that I am very sorry. I didn't live here at the time, and never once did I vote for him.
And now? Holy shitballs! This maroon of a governor we have is running around making the Shrub look like the smart one. Is there no one around him who can keep him at home with his mouth shut?
Look at his latest bullshit move:
Now watch some anti-Perry, anti-Christian rebuttal to this:
And last, but certainly not least, here is a message to Rick "the hair-do" Perry from Jesus:
Rick Perry is a wiener. He has a terrible record on women's and children's issues. If you want an in-depth look at what he has done in his political career here in Texas, go to Amazon and buy "Adios MoFo".
I heard the NPR interview with one of the authors and it seems that the publisher threw lots of money their way to write this book when Perry started showing interest in running. Then when he started slipping in the polls, they backed off, so it is only available as an e-book.
A year or so ago at a press conference, a particular reporter just kept pushing at Perry to answer some questions about what he has done to the schools and teachers in our fine state and he kept trying to duck them and not give a straight forward answer. At the end of it, when he thought his mic was off, he looked right at the reporter and said "Adios MoFo".
Nice, right?
So, that's where the book title came from. Give it a read and encourage anyone you know who might actually vote for this twit in a hair-do to also read it.
