Sweet mother nature I hereby beseech you:
Serve up hurricane upon hurricane upon hurricane upon the US south for apparently they wishith to pull upon bootstraps.
May you all have the day you voted for
Whoa whoa whoa. I might be in Texas, but I certainly didn't vote for this administration. Yes, I have boots and yes I use the straps to pull up my boots, but I also recognize and vocalize that no one can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and furthermore that some people can't even afford boots.
Wish for something more localized, like bigot-eating wolves or racist-seeking lightning.
Racist-seeking lightning . . . you may be on to something there.
Anyone know about smoting?
It would be a bad day to wear a tinfoil hat.
May the hurricanes completely spare you and your loved ones then.
Define "loved ones." Some relatives who I used to respect did vote for this.
I just stopped talking to those relatives.
Yeah, there are absolutely people in the south working to change things. Especially in local elections.
Dorchester County council (SC) recently tipped Democratic in a special election. I hate to get all "correlated" up in here, but the last time that happened was shortly before Nixon resigned.
