I read about John Pavlovitz. Wishing him well.

His writings were so great during the Trump nightmare

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime

John Pavlovitz is a man whom the world needs. I wish him a speedy recovery and many, many more years in health and clarity.
Yes, @AskingQuestionsAllTheTime - I found him the only online "religious" source of clarity during the Trump era. I probably found him from these threads, actually! Such a wise man. I am praying (oddly for me) that his op goes well and he lives on to continue calling out the religious right on their bullshit.
Jconnais1chansonquivavsenerver · 01/10/2021 12:06

Sorry, not oddly for me that his op goes well, oddly for me that I'm praying!

Speaking of bullshitters... I had a friend who used to say "Better the enemy you know than the friend behind your back."

(CNN)An extraordinary day and night of wrenching tension, failed 11th hour deal making and festering mistrust between liberal and moderate Democrats left President Joe Biden's vast domestic agenda in a dangerous limbo.

Progressive Democrats on Thursday defied fierce pressure from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and refused to pass a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, flexing new leverage in a bid to guarantee trillions more in the most sweeping social spending plan in a generation.

The wretched disease never kills the right ones. Trump survived it, Johnson survived it, Bolsonaro survived it...

Kavanaugh is double vaccinated, he will be fine.

lionheart · 01/10/2021 19:22

I will just note that 'Squee' is trending.

Yes, exactly.
DuncinToffee · 01/10/2021 20:16

There is of course always the chance he decides to take some ivermectin...

I don't understand
AcrossthePond55 · 01/10/2021 20:26

Me either

DuncinToffee · 01/10/2021 20:30

How is your DH doing AcrossthePond55?

lionheart · 01/10/2021 21:48

I just like the fact that Squee is now a shorthand for BK. Smile

DuncinToffee · 01/10/2021 21:57

Ah, I didn't know that lionhead, never really heard of the use of Squee. You learn something new every day Grin

lionheart · 01/10/2021 22:31

I think it was the nickname of one of his schoolfriends but I think it follows the Supreme Court Justice now.

Love it Grin

Having watched his Hearing and seeing him talk about his old pal Squee, it was excrutiatingly embarrassing and laughable.

(now off to retweet a few tweets with Squee in it!)

Roussette · 02/10/2021 07:58

Here is Matt Damon as Kavanaugh at his Hearing. You really can't tell the difference! It's just hilarious
p.s. Squee is mentioned.Grin

Hopefully mixed with some hydroxychloroquine and bleach.
TheNorthWestPawsage · 02/10/2021 13:58

Squee - and don't forget P.J.
(Hope BJ's secret benefactor doesn't also pay his medical bills)

@DuncinToffee

How is your DH doing AcrossthePond55?
Thank you for asking.

He finished treatment but is still feeling the effects. They've told him it may be 6 weeks until he's back to some semblance of what passes for normal. Unfortunately, patience is not his long suit. We'll know how well treatment worked at his scan in 6 weeks. Until then we're keeping positive hopes and still saying prayers.
