In three years we really, REALLY have to consider the repercussions of the mess we've gotten ourselves into with these monsters and idiots we keep electing to high office. These people need to go back to the caves and slime pits they came from and we have to elect decent people into public office again.
The problem is that Donald J. Trump is exactly the person we deserve to represent us. We need to be be better people in order to get petter people to lead us. I don't quite know if that could ever happen.

Good post. I am sure that both you and I along with 99.8% of the participants on this TNCR forum can all humbly agree that we are simply less wrong than the common tribal rabble out there in the current dystopia of exaggerated unpleasantness.
Website isn't loading at the moment (for me) but still I've heard of that place...not sure where, I think a local news service I follow. They should have a slogan "If you don't like our food, sioux me!"
Windy here, nothing out of the ordinary although we did get weather alerts for the next 24 hours which is usually pretty valid when you get an alert. Basically tomorrow it'll be windy with bands of rain/mixed/snow blowing in at times... so avoid going out on the ice to fish or driving an 18 wheeler broadside of the wind direction.
Now tonight's delivery info (two items incoming) on the Amazon page has my driver's name and face on it.
Also seeing multiple reports on the neighborhood Facebook page of exactly what happened to me. Marked as delivered, no photo, no item.

It's just the typical act of making a drama out of a crisis. It's what politicians do.
Up here we refer to it as performance politics. The Trudeau government knew very little about accountable governance but a lot about the gimmickry of performance.
