I thought this was funny as hell today! When mama died, I called the police department, not 911. The young lady, taking the my information, ask me three times, if it was covid related! I said no! She proceeded to ask me, how I knew this, I couldn't help laughing. It took them 5 hours take her body out of the house!

Additionally, a Police Captain showed up, to begin the process. I didn't won't these memories, so I stayed downstairs. He sat in front of the house for the entire 5 hour period!

The hardest thing to deal with physically, were the bed sores. Very nasty and prolific, as the body shuts down, no healing takes place.

I had a conversation with her about 3 months ago. I ask her if she was ready to meet her maker? She smiled and said yes, I continued; how do you know? She provided the date, time and place, we never discussed again! Although, I feel
a little more alone, I'm very good with today!

About 3 weeks ago, when she could still talk...a little. She told me she was "so tired". Mama never made any references to being tired her entire life! Worked 40 years in a factory.

Years back, when my father passed, on December 23rd. The next evening about 300 people or so, showed up to wish her a Merry Christmas! That was really something to behold!

The Economy Does Much Better Under Democrats. Why?

NYT

reader comment

Also worth stating that Democrats are pretty good at capitalism.

Supply side economics isn't wholly without merit, but it has to be balanced with "demand side" economics.

Government spending is good for the economy and the private sector. Raising wages is good for the economy and the private sector. Redistribution is good for the economy and the private sector. Hell, regulations can even be good for the economy, because when all of the sudden there's a new rule that your coal plant can only produce 2t of CO2 per day, you've got hire people to make upgrades and improvements to that power plant.

PLUS we engage in rational foreign and trade policy, none of this "Hey, let's start a 19th century tariff war with China and see what happens!" bullshit.

The economy does well under Democrats because we try to help the supply side, we try to help the demand side, and we try to spend government money, all of which are good for the economy.

Republicans only have two cards up their sleeve: Tax cuts and deregulation. Democrats, on the other hand, are playing with a full deck.

Off The Rails Bonus episode: Inside the craziest meeting of the Trump presidency

https://www.axios.com/trump-oval-office-meeting-sidney-powell-a8e1e466-2e42-42d0-9cf1-26eb267f8723.html

This will be the best thing you read today

excerpt:   Trump was no longer focused on any semblance of a governing agenda, instead spending his days taking phone calls and meetings from anyone armed with conspiracy theories about the election. For the White House staff, it was an unending sea of garbage churned up by the bottom feeders.

Powell began this meeting with the same baseless claim that now has her facing a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit: She told the president that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged their machines to flip votes from Trump to Biden and that it was part of an international communist plot to steal the election for the Democrats.

"...Lindsey Graham threatens to bring in FBI testimony if Democrats call witnesses in Trump impeachment trial..."

OK, bring it.  Lindsey is starting to sound like a middle schooler. lol

I had this one fat, dago aunt on the Italian side of my family.... Aunt Louisa...Jesus...what an old battle ax.  The broad wore a  black shawl and a pair of what looked like army boots her entire life...morose, sullen... dramatic...  Anyhow, I stayed unmarried until I was like 37 or 38.  I guess among those of dirt-floor ethnic derivation, that is unseemly.  So every time I was at a wedding when I still went to weddings, Aunt Louisa would waddle up to me in her black shawl and army boots, pinch both my cheeks with her fat fingers and say in some guttural peasant's accent... "you're next!".
So the day came when one of the other old ethnic aunts croaked... Aunt Arcangelina.   I was sitting toward the back of the funeral room amongst the gladiolus surveying possible exit routes so I could slip out before some creepy old priest came in and started rattling off the rosary... which is some bizarre Catholic ritual meant to conjure the undead.  I could see that fat old hen clucking her way in with her army boots and purse the size of a steamer trunk. When she got right in front of me and before she could open her mouth, I grabbed both her chipmunk cheeks with my hands and said "You're next!". And then I got the hell out of Dodge.  That might have been the last funeral I went to and the last time I saw Aunt Louisa. I didn't go to her funeral. We weren't that close. She was like married to my dad's half-brother and she was Sicilian to boot...which are like Italian versions of hillbillies.

Hilarious! You should write a book. You're good at it.

Trump Raised $76 Million — Then Spent Nothing On Vote Challenges Or Georgia

Trump’s bait-and-switch ads cited the need to contest his election loss and for the GOP to hold the Senate as he sought funds for his “leadership” PAC.
