Sounds like one’s experience when having to deal face-to-face with civil servants. A family friend recently experienced that in a Los Angeles courthouse, receiving fish-eyed dead stares and no help from clerks, she begging for help regarding one single checkbox on a form she had to fill out and submit then and there.

Sounds splendid!
Fidel Best: You survived eighty-seven hurricanes?
DI Richard Poole: No! 1987, hm? The Storm of the Century? I tell you, the roof of my dad’s shed was torn off. Tomato pots and bird feeders strewn across the lawn. Utter carnage.

We lived in the middle of an orchard, it knocked all the apples of the trees, my parents had to buy a deep freeze to store them all, we ate apple pies for months, and the ones that weren’t worth salvaging the rabbits got drunk on for weeks.

Well, between the miximitosis infections spread by the farmers, and the foxes, we kids definitely wised up to the cruelty of nature (and humanity), but most of these were baby bunnies, so just really cute floofs who couldn’t hop straight.

If that isn’t positive proof that the director of the California DMV has yet to be bribed by the criminal rich, then I don’t know what.

I nice went inside a fast food place and tried to order from the counter because I wanted to use cash. The employees refused to take my order and told me I had to use the kiosk if I wanted to order, or go through the drive thru if I wanted to use cash.
I went somewhere else.

One would imagine that is obvious, but what do I know? I only worked in retail or food most of my life.

That’s good. Walz seems to have a good take on things, and he looks like he can connect with people who didn’t vote for the ticket last time.

I don’t know. Republicans went crazy on more than one occasion for the phrase “Daddy’s home!” How is a rational person supposed to connect with, or combat that?

Prove that he’s no fucking daddy - and that’s happening now, albeit slowly.
We don’t need a daddy; we need a warm, happy and well-adjusted Uncle. And if his name is Tim instead of Sam, so be it.

The good news is that she’s standing up against him. The worrisome thought is that her resistance might motivate him to undermine her.

We (well, democrats I mean) gotta stop trying to win over the Trumpers and go for the rest of the country - they only make up maybe a quarter of voters, so the right candidate could pull away those who aren’t in the cult. We need to write these people off as “lost” and move on.
I think that Walz-AOC is a winning combo.
