2. Okay, but "throwing shade" at those who enable a right-wing

fascist takeover of our nation is no longer satisfying in the least to me. At 71, I’m having trouble seeing a happy ending in my lifetime.

that they have connected with us. I have one friend on facebook who has picture of the two of us as part of an end of the year montage to celebrate all the friends she was able to connect with that year. I was the only minority in the group and it was a picture that was at least two years old. We hadn't seen each other that year, at all.

17. That would have been difficult.

I hadn't posted on her page in more than a year. So popping in to correct her would have been counter-productive Our relationship was broken for reasons that would have been pointless to explain to her. She is very good at twisting situations to make herself look like the victim. But, she's the main reason I know that there are white people who do are going to be adapt well to the changes demanded from a diverse society.

It's the supposed "friends" that are the problem. Or in this case, a Republican who turned into a Democrat only because the Republicans didn't like her being overt about her sexuality. In her heart, if she has one, she will always be a Republican.

10. Shade vs. Burn...

A burn is a direct insult comeback and usually won't be missed. Especially if you yell "BURN" right after it like Kelso on That 70's Show.



Shade is much more subtle and often more clever, can be nonverbal ( "side-eye" ), and might get missed by the recipient or bystanders depending on how a comment is delivered.

13. Such a deceptive piece of shit....

I have to be very careful how I describe my anger and frustration toward this corrupt politician. she is everything that is wrong with political corruption. We all know and recognize that Coal-manchin is a greedy stooge and shill for the dying coal industry and petro pimps. This screwball came out of nowhere, for no reason, doing maximum damage to the Biden agenda. Worthless flea bag sack of shit.

There....I feel better now.
