La Push WA to Quoddy Head Lighthouse ME

About as far west, and as far East, as one can get in the lower 48. I’d love to see much more!

Unlike Drumpf, it appears to be his family name going back generations, with an umlauted capital O.

However, rather than disgrace L. Frank Baum's wonderful creation through association, I prefer to think of "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

"...Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

And I think Shelley would likely concur.

If the Executive Branch had a Department of Nurturing Beautiful-Smelling Day-Lillies...

Drumpf would have appointed someone to be in charge of ripping all the beautiful-smelling day-lillies out of the gardens, covering the grounds in concrete, and planting a corpse flower right in the middle of it all.

And then delete all records and communications.

Could drumpf have been using his SS detail as the conduit to the loud boys and oaf creepers?

Could that be why the SS texts have been scrubbed?

As Beau if the Fifth Column closes his videos, “it’s just a thought.”

This could have been even more fun if it had been a three-way tie.

It would have been--is "amusing" the word?--watching Barnette, Oz and McCormick work shifting sands of alliances to team up in pairs against the third.
Stop the steal! Same-day counting! Disqualify all mail-in ballots! Disqualify all ballots that don't have a vote for ME on them! O the hypocrisy!
I hope this is a teaching moment for a few R-leaning voters, serving to remove the veil of idiocy from their eyes.

My apologies, TexasTowelie.

I'd seen your bracketed insertion of Waltz's party affiliation before I'd posted, and should have mentioned that you'd put it in. Or I shouldn't have posted at all... My larger point that I had been trying to make was that the article for which you provided the link didn't list Waltz's party affiliation. That had initially made me suspect biased reporting, and I wrote an unresearched response. But on looking today at the Website where the article was posted, Indy Politics, I see now that the author, Abdul Hakim-Shabazz, who appears to write most all the articles for the Web site, is not right-leaning, and the article was likely written with the assumption that the Website's Indiana-based readers would know the party affiliation of their former senator.

Thanks for all the articles you post with news from all over the US & territories!

This nut is fixated on race.

I see a commercial with two parents and two kids. Bishop sees the same commercial. In the commercial, the parents take the kids to soccer practice and band practice.

I don't have kids who go to soccer or band practice, and Bishop probably doesn't, either. I don't feel guilty. Bishop doesn't think that the commercial is telling him that he needs to feel guilty because of that.

In the commercial, the parents drive a mini-van.

I don't drive a mini-van, and Bishop probably doesn't either. I don't feel guilty. Bishop doesn't think that the commercial is telling him that he needs to feel guilty because of that.

In the commercial, the parents cook burgers on a back yard gas grill.

I don't cook burgers on a back yard gas grill, and Bishop may or may not, but I don't feel guilty, and Bishop doesn't think that the commercial is telling him that he needs to feel guilty because of that.

In the commercial, the father takes a pill for ED.

I don't need to take a pill for ED, and perhaps Bishop doesn't need to, and I don't feel guilty, and Bishop doesn't think that the commercial is telling him that he needs to feel guilty because of that.

In the commercial, the father is black and the mother is white.

I'm white, and Bishop is too. I don't feel guilty. But Randy thinks the commercial is telling him that he needs to feel guilty because the father is black. Randy has a severe problem.

It isn't necessary to immediately keep using a colored letter

Try out other letters to rule possibilities in or out.

I just figured out how to post these grids.

Hey, TB, did you see my response to you a week ago about trying choices for missing letters?

See
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=1645105

My partner tells me that there is a "hard" mode of Wordle, though, in which you have to keep using the letters that get colored green and orange, rather than test out other words to rule more letters in or out at once, as I was explaining how to do in my post last week. Maybe you're playing the hard mode...

Good luck!
