Good morning, Newdists. What a week!

Do you get the feeling that every week there’s a slight increase in the decibel of R(ancid) party related unhingery and batshittery? Or perhaps it’s just the sound of my approaching threshold of tolerance. Honestly, I dunno. I’m trying to be balanced, and in the quest for such, I have blocked Gym Jordan. They all have fulltime staff delegated to tweet out poison in a timely fashion; and I’ve been working on walking myself back from responding to it, or ingesting it. Next on my block list is Ted ( Loud Fuckup) Cruz.

There were so many heartbreaks this recent election. For me the biggest ones are that Beto lost to a malignant stupid, like Abbot; and that Staci Abrams lost to a crook like Kemp; and also, that DeSantis may be the next presidential candidate. Seriously, voter registration should be automatic to every drivers license renewal and address change. Voting should be open for a month before Nov.8th. Mail-in voting should be the norm. If a bright red state like Utah can do it, then it should be okay nationally.

I’m going to take the next few months to not be political and to heal. I need the distance. It’s too difficult, emotionally, to live with the possibility that every election is a slide backwards to authoritarian, fascist government. Also, I need to update my passport.

The campaign to shred Biden has begun. The Rancid Party began their hate campaign the minute they were told they had a majority. Telling.

What happened to “crime!!!” or “the border!!!” or even “Inflation!!!?” They vanished. And now we will get endless investigations of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. They thrive on hollowing us out. And so I’ve decided to rest up for the next fight. And yes, I will wallow, moan and groan, shed a few tears. I may even inflict myself on you all as I go through this withdrawal; and then I will rise to fight again. That’s a promise.

Given how hard the Rancids showered Nancy Pelosi with hatred, I wonder which woman is next. You there will be a much hated woman. I suspect the next one will be the only other highly placed woman. And that she is a woman of color will be bonus, for them. One more reason why they are working so hard on Herschel Walker’s election. See...they are not racist! 😵

This week, Nancy Pelosi handed the speakers gavel to that uncouth, imbecilic gobshite — Qkevin McCarthy. She did it with typical grace, skill, and style.

I will miss her in place of Speaker.

x Remember this photo? This is exactly why Nancy Pelosi is absolute boss. In a room of men who try to bring her down, she not only stands her ground, but she stands up to them. Nancy is a true leader. pic.twitter.com/0H5wqMCeMX — Victor Shi (@Victorshi2020) November 17, 2022



x Speaker Nancy Pelosi will go down as one of most accomplished legislators in American history—breaking barriers, opening doors for others, and working every day to serve the American people. I couldn’t be more grateful for her friendship and leadership. pic.twitter.com/zRYtKXVX88 — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November 17, 2022



x The best to ever do it. Thank you, Madam Speaker. pic.twitter.com/mKIpB9CxHc — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 17, 2022



x When I think of Nancy Pelosi, I think of dignity.



History will note her as the most consequential Speaker of the House of Representatives in history – she is first, last, and always for the people. America owes her a debt of gratitude for her service, patriotism, and dignity. pic.twitter.com/U2xvEVC1E5 — President Biden (@POTUS) November 17, 2022

Critter admiration:

x Good morning & welcome to #Caturday



Be soft

Do not let the world make you hard

Do not let the pain make you hate

Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness

Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place#cat pic.twitter.com/utqlsNV07F — George The Stourbridge Junction Station Cat (@TheStourbridge) November 19, 2022

x Meet the waterproof ocean jelly Velella velella, a living sailboat far offshore. Above the waves its skin forms a living waterproof sail. Below the waves blue tentacles pulse and sway to catch food. Velellas have no control...
