Start popping the popcorn! And don't forget the melted butter!

And maybe a teensy of garlic salt…

Accessory to attempted murder.

But if the mob had had its way there’d have been few left standing to uphold the law and seek accountability.

God only knows what a mob fired up into a grievance frenzy like that would have done. I don’t even want to think about it.

And they sure showed their stuff.

Most revealing to see how desperaytbey are for power and control.

Well, I heard something in the war coverage the other day. About the Russian onslaught. They may manage to take Ukrainian territory. But keeping it is another matter entirely.

Yep. Follow the money.

I bet they wouldn't yowl about having to wear masks

if they saw some of mine! Amazing what colorful sequins or a flourish of flowers or a Cousin It cartoon can do for one’s mood!

And it never went further than that.

Wanted to “shake things up.” Just merely for the sake of shaking things up. And toward what end? Do they even know?

Whenever I hear these jerks yowl about wanting to shake things up, I’m reminded of a cartoon I saw years ago that depicted a smoldering ruin of a “landscape” and one solitary figure, covered in tatters and blood and dirt, face full of anger, a fist raised in “righteous” outrage. Standing in smoldering ruins, ever in defiance…

And I think the basic message was about hollow victory - so did you get what you wanted out of this? There’s nothing left but charred ruins, and everyone and everything around you dead, burned, destroyed. Was it worth it? Happy NOW?

We still wear masks most of the time.

I actually like wearing masks. Got some cool ones I enjoy putting on!

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
