When I was younger I drove a motorcycle down the main hallway of a huge mall…while naked. For real. And if you can believe it they had the audacity to ban me from ever going in that mall again!

“Why are they secret? Why? Why? Why are they secret passwords?…"

That just makes me want to throw up my hands and cry.

By way of explanation, Mesa County is in the heart of Lauren Boebert country.

On the flip side, I’m proud of Jena and Phil.

On a personal note, I’m getting tired of reading about these crazies. For the first time in two weeks or so, it’s a nice day, and taking a nice walk seems more sanity-reinforcing that doing more of this type of reading.

Thanks for that observation. The crazies and their never ending yelling were always the point…

(although two things–crazy–made me feel better):

(1) Youngkin in VA having to do verbal contortions with the 6 January American Flag

(2) Trump telling Republicans that the Big Lie is a requirement for GOP voting

Youngkin seems to keenly feel the purple-state GOPer’s dilemma: what’s necessary for the primary is poison for the general.

Bunch of sadists. First, create password requirements that are impossible for any human to remember, then get to blast everyone when they pick an easy one or have to write it down.

Don’t give in, they do this because they know it drives us crazy.
OTH when arguing with an idiot like this then ask her for the keys/combination to the safe in her office.
