Not as 'nice' a person as I used to be

I have taken pride in the fact that despite all of the damage Republicans have done to the country, I have never wished ill to befall them. I have never hoped that a Republican would suffer a personal tragedy like the loss of a beloved child or spouse, or the onset of a debilitating disease. And I have certainly never wished for their death.

That being said, if the SCOTUS justices who just turned every female in the US into a second-class citizen were to drop dead, I would celebrate it, cheer it, applaud it, be thankful they were gone - and I'd go to their funerals in a fucking red dress.

domination by Mitch McConnell and his thugs. They take a tiny bit of power and stretch it to the max; meanwhile, we can have all three branches of government and have excuse after excuse for why we can't get anything done.

And yes, I will go to my grave knowing he, with the help of Putin, stole the election from Hillary. From that day forward if I knew of someone who voted for him, they are no longer a part of my life. We are all suffering for their ignorance and hatefulness. They don't deserve me being nice to them.

You'd find me in ratty sweatpants (or shorts in the summer) and a t-shirt full of holes. Those fuckers don't even deserve that, let alone a red dress.

Being inflexible is weak. You’re nice by saying the truth. You haven’t changed, but how others view you changes depending on their views.

So never be provoked into anger by your opponent, then we’ve been made subservient. Be the best Nance you can be—fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.🤣

Cheers, I always enjoy our posts.

Nice is over-rated.

If the Handmaid dropped dead, I would feel bad for her kids Some of them are pretty young and it would be hard on them to lose a parent at such a tender age. Plus it's not their fault their mom is an 18th century throwback freak.

Other than that, the conservaradicals can all take a dirt nap any time.

O.T., but can you imagine how much it must suck to be Sotomayor, Kagan, or Breyer right now? Especially Breyer. What a send-off for him.

This SC ruling is beyond horrible. Thomas grinning as he predicts what's next is infuriating! He and his treasonous wife should be in prison. Then theJ6 bombshells. Don't look at Lake Mead. People are suffering financially and it's going to get worse. Finding the joy in life is still possible. I'm just going to look ridiculous always walking around with my fingers in my ears.
You will always be a bright spot in my day, Nance.

purchased the 6 justices and the members of the House and Senate who made it happen, along with the vile creature waiting judgement in Miami.

We owe it to ourselves and everyone else to remind the authors of this abomination, and especially their sponsors, that we do not surrender. That they may expect to pay a very dear price indeed when all is said and done.

Corporate America has very much to answer for.

White and CIS. I would be definitely be extremely proud going in an Orange dress, or a Rainbow one, to one of their funerals. Someone would have to tell me how to hide the flask I would be carrying as part of the celebration.

I have never NOT wished Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Gorsuch dead..in fact, I would go so far as to say I've prayed for their deaths...they, as well as, Trump, Collins, McConnell, Cruz, Hawley, Cotton, Graham and the rest of their like-minded GOP monsters could do nothing more patriotic for the United States then to die en masse
