Ah, I just figured that was society burning.
######Seriously, though, we really need rain.

I know right… about a month or two ago, we got a tiny shower… I was in my car and was so excited I rolled down my window and stuck my hand out… I think it lasted for about 15 minutes and never got very hard.
I have two ponds on my street - they have to be down by like 2 feet now… it’s crazy.

We’re on well water, so I’m just hoping it’s deep enough to ride out the drought without drying up (the well is unwell - hah!).
Amazingly, my mother’s garden is doing okay. That’s probably because she keeps ridiculous amount of water stored away in every corner of the house for this very reason.

We are too, on a well, I mean (knocks on wood)…

More of a “Whoa! Not over here! I agree and here’s what we’re doing!” than a “Whoa! You’re wrong!”

Cool. I appreciate your clarification and glad we’re on the same page.
Let’s do what we can to make this all better, yeah?

She might not the right kind of conservative. I thought that I’d heard of her a traditional stare decisis conservative, not a burn-down-the-precedents-in-pusuit-of-“original-intent”-kind of conservative. I probably should research before posting, but, damn, I’m tired.
Yeah because having Mr. Turtle in for 100 years has done us great favors. Everything is gerrymandered to shit.[quote=“ficuswhisperer, post:50, topic:89151”]
Congressional term limits are basically code for “keep Congress full of inexperienced people that can be more easily controlled by special interest groups.”
It completely dismisses the fact that if you don’t like your congressman, you’re free to vote for someone else in the next election.

Yeah, no shit. I get a medication that costs $360 a month. So do I go down to the bank, deposit $360, go back home, go to the bank, withdraw $360, and go buy my medication every month?

If he thinks the country is a hostile to him now just wait until his supporters realize the wall isn’t getting built, Clinton isn’t going to jail, manufacturing jobs aren’t coming back, eleven million people aren’t going to be deported and that he drained the swamp only to put Heritage Foundation and K Street cronies as his cabinet appointees.
He’s about to see some real hostility.

He’ll still carry 59.5 million voters pretty much no matter what.
It’s time to flush out congressional seats and build a case for 65 million against him again for next time. Lord knows I’m not voting for him.

It’s small consolation now but I do believe Trump’s election has awoken a sleeping tiger of moderate and sane folks who sat on their hands Tuesday - either due to apathy, dislike/distrust of HRC or more likely, misplaced confidence that nobody in their right mind would really vote for him.
Just like the Republican resurgence after anti-Christ Obama was elected, I am hopeful that sanity will return in 2018 and 2020. Just need to keep it together and minimize the damage until then.
