Make It a Mocktail—She's Sober

 

The Threat

I live in a mother-in-law apartment just outside Seattle. A straight couple in their 30s rent the house next door to me, and we're friendly when we see each other.

He works for a tree service, and recently he drove home in a great honking truck. A few days later, as he tinkered in his garage, I went over to joke with him about getting to drive the company car. His partner was there, but she headed in the house.

Then she came back. Then she returned to the house. Then she reappeared in the garage, and made a point of placing her hand on his shoulder.

All I could think later was, "Oh honey, don't worry about me. First, I could be his mother. Second, I don't go for breaking up relationships. Third, and most importantly, I'm gay."

In fact, I'm the least threatening female neighbor she could have. Perhaps I should demand a stipend.

Apprenticeships, electricians, plumbers — we need more of those in our country and less LGBTQ graduate majors from Harvard University and that’s what this administration’s position is.

Trump Rises Below the Fray

Donald Trump views American holidays as a chance to inflame, and on this Memorial Day he didn't disappoint.

"HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS," Trump posted.

He called Joe Biden "AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT," and attacked judges who "SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY."

This is how he chose to honor those who've died in service to our nation. I assume that on the Fourth of July he'll call for the lynching of Big Bird.

Reminder

 

Mean M. T. Greene

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Batshit-GA) has reintroduced her bill to ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth, and make it harder to access gender-affirming care for transgender adults.

The "Protect Children's Innocence Act" would make it a felony for doctors to treat trans youth. It would also ban federal funds from being used for gender-affirming care, ban medical schools from teaching about that care, and ban anyone who's offered such care from immigrating to the USA.

Thorough, but the relentless conspiracy theorist did miss one thing. So nobody tell her about the transgender space lasers.
