The weekend!
It's that time again. It's Friday, which means it's the start of the weekend. I have had a great day today at work. But it wasn't good for someone else.
One of the temp workers texted me yesterday, asking me if my shifts were cancelled. I told her "Not that I am aware of", to which I got no reply. Then this morning, I found out that she was replaced by someone else - and that someone else was one of the guys I worked with at my other temp job. It was quite strange walking into the staff room to see that dude sitting there. He was briefed on how to work, and then he began working. As did I.
Lunch was amazing! Entrecôte! In French, entrecôte is a premium cut of beef used for steaks. In the English speaking world, an entrecôte is known as a ribeye. It was cooked perfectly, so it was amazing lunch! Later on there were cake and other goodies.
I also heard from R. She is still bummed that she can't come here this weekend, which I am as well. I would have loved to see her again, even when I saw her on Tuesday and Wednesday. She left some clothing here that she was gonna wear for her movie shoot. She'll get the clothing back when she comes again. It should be soon. I am just waiting for her to say what date she will come over.
So until that day, I will just spend some time with video games and other stuff!
By the way, she is not using my place as a hotel whenever she likes to. She is always asking me if it's okay if she's spending a few days with me, and I always say yes. She'll save money on the hotels, and I get to see her as well.

Genderization....
....have even seen it in my own neighborhood. When we got this tiny coastal home, some three decades ago, then as a summer home, our neighbors typically were self sufficient working class. Indeed, that was a big attraction to our proletarian sensibilities and backgrounds. But thanks to the rapid growth in wealth inequality, and an estate agent class willing to exploit such, our neighbors are now typically very well heeled, with attitudes to match. Long ago, folks here did much for themselves. House maintenance, sewing clothes, gardening and "putting up" food for winter,--- even their own roofing, plumbing and electrical work. Most newbies couldn't swing a hammer, or turn a wrench, if their lives depended on it, which incidentally may happen in our lifetimes. Often, the new arrivals hail from Manhattan, or Californicateya, bought a bungalow/rent control place after the War for peanuts, and sold it more recently for the obscenely big bucks, with which ocean property here can be had for much less. Added benefit, escape from the deterioration in quality of life in the old haunts, with recent democrat led demographic shifts. And it all sems to be a worldwide phenomenon, with local cultural nuanced differences, with realtors still very much in tow, but also abbetted by Air B'n B and Uber. Hopeless, but perhaps not serious.
A Presidency "off the rails"
From Politico
The Trump administration has not only been an erratic embarrassing shoddy circus, but of great damage to the country and it's reputation. The election of Donald Trump, officially THE WORST US president in history, is perhaps one of the worse mistakes the country has ever made.

Trump veterans see a presidency veering off the rails

Former Trump White House officials and other Republicans close to the White House are increasingly worried about President Trump’s erratic behavior and say there are no longer enough safeguards around him to prevent self-inflicted disasters large and small.
Just in the last two weeks, Trump precipitously withdrew U.S. troops from northern Syria and attacked America’s Kurdish allies as “no angels,” sparking outrage among GOP lawmakers; released a letter to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan whose undiplomatic language was widely mocked; called his former defense secretary “the world’s most overrated general”; and blew up at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during a meeting his own White House had called.
His acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, also admitted on national television that the administration had held up aid to Ukraine for political purposes, before reversing himself hours later on Trump’s orders and claiming his remarks had been “misconstrued.”
Under the strain of a metastasizing impeachment probe on Capitol Hill and helming an administration run by a diminishing number of heavyweight officials of independent stature, the president is displaying the kind of capricious behavior that once might have been contained or at least mitigated, former officials say.
“The wheels are not off the car. The situation is way worse than that. The car has been impounded and we are now waiting to figure out what the fine is and to see whether or not we’re going to get the car back,” said former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci. “Mulvaney is a good Catholic and in fairness to him, that was a full-blown Catholic confessional on Thursday afternoon.”
Trump has never felt shackled by traditional ways of running a government. But earlier in his administration, “there was enough guardrails around Trump or enough caution on his part that when he did things that were more impulsive, they had less significance and fewer external ramifications,” said a former White House official.
Now it’s become more of a one-man White House and government.
Trying to constrain Trump is “a pipe dream,” said one current White House official. “Everyone who has tried had eventually failed in some way.”
“It’s just looking like everything is coming apart,” said a former White House official. Another former senior West Wing aide agreed that the White House seemed to be “a little bit unraveling” in recent days.
Some current White House officials say they are simply exhausted after all the constant fighting, and lack the energy to try to constrain a wilful president bent on having his own way. It’s normal for officials to return to the private sector after a few years of pressure-cooker public service, but the Trump administration has seen extraordinary levels of turnover, and the administration’s current ranks are thin and getting thinner. A current White House official described a “who cares” attitude creeping through the building under Mulvaney’s hands-off management style....

Holy Books....
Sure, the Holy Khoran has some advice that will get you into the slammer, as does some of the smiting recommended in the OldTestament. Most of the other ones aren't so bad, and many actually are kind to the needy, praising charity as a virtue. We must help the poor and the hoplessly sick. So we say, have pity on those suffering from severe forms of TD-HD Syndrome. With well more than 50% of blogs focused gleefully and stridently on you know who, there's little diagnostic uncertainty. Few maladies are harder to treat, and this one is a particularly hopeless form of progressive liberal panenterossis. Yet we have sometimes seen partial cures. But the remedies are tough, tough we say. Repeated gun point muggings in our democrat run hell hole municipalities occasionally do the trick. Epiphanies, sadly, not so much. Oh, peebles, the Art is long.
Another Republican leader on board for impeachment.
Last week it was former presidential candidate Mitt Romney who backed impeachment of Trump.
Today another Republican former presidential candidate is now on board with impeachment.
Today from The Associated Press moments ago;
Since Trump took office, more Republicans have switched away from that party, than I remember at any other time in my life. Most recently the Republican leaders with a conscience are slowly aligning themselves with impeachment. It will be interesting to see how many others follow. Despite Trump's online rah rahs shrugging Trump's illegal activity off, as Kasich points out, this is "an extremely serious matter".
And unfortunately this matter is just the tip of the illegal Trump iceberg.
If Pence is also impeached, I sincerely doubt Pelosi is pardoning either one of them.
If Pence is not impeached, he will have no authority to pardon Trump from his non-federal crimes and several of them are awaiting Trump in the Southern District of New York, when his presidency is done, one way, or another.

'Final straw': GOP ex-Ohio Gov. Kasich supports impeachment
Associated Press ALEXANDRA JAFFE,Associated Press 19 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who ran against President Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, said Friday that he supports impeaching the president — but isn't ready to call for his removal from office (yet).
Kasich said he decided to back impeachment after hearing acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney acknowledge Thursday that Trump's decision to hold up military aid to Ukraine was linked to his demand that Ukraine investigate the Democratic National Committee and the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. Mulvaney later claimed his remarks were misconstrued.
"This is an extremely serious matter," Kasich told The Associated Press in an interview. "I wrestled with it for a very long time."
It marked a reversal for Kasich, who previously said he hadn't seen evidence of a quid pro quo on Trump's part. Congress is conducting an impeachment inquiry sparked by a whistleblower's allegation that Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to dig up dirt on Trump's potential 2020 Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden as Trump delayed military aid to the country.
"I can understand why executives would withhold military aid if it was in the sense of public policy, but you don't withhold military aid to anybody ... for political reasons," Kasich said.

speaking of God...and what about forgiveness
I had a friend a few years back that told me he was seeing this woman. This woman was a Christian and cheated on her husband countless times, eventually divorced, she lied, she stole, she dated men after men after men, cheating on countless boyfriends. My friend asked her, aren't you a Christian? What do you think God will think of this? Her reply was, the Bible says he will forgive me.
Happy Friday/Saturday all

Muslim Book Store
So, I was walking through Chicago and I saw that there was a 'Muslim book store'. I was wondering just what exactly was in a Muslim book store so I went in. I was wandering around, taking a look when a clerk stopped me and asked if he could help me. I imagine I didn't look like his normal clientele so I asked 'Do you have a copy of Donald Trumps book on U.S. immigration policy regarding Muslims and illegal Mexicans'? The clerk said “GET OUT GET OUT AND STAY OUT” I said “yes that's the one. Do you have it in paperback?

I did three.
This is the fourth.
Who can beat me?
Is that even a question?
I think I am already beaten.
Sorry for hogging the first page.
Now bump me to the second page with something better than this silliness.
Will come back and delete these.
Sorry, if I interrupted any entertainment.
Now may I take my leave. Was stuck in traffic.

So R came by..
She spent just around 24 hours here, and then she went home again. She had to attend the Cher gig last night, so she needed a place to crash. She is always welcome here, which she knows.
The visit went as I thought it would. A few awkward silences, but it was nice to see her again. She will be back on Friday, for some movie work, so she's gonna crash here as well. I like having her around, since I have someone to talk to in bed.
I also made sure not to make the same mistakes as before, so her and I are alright again. When it was time for her to leave, I went with her to Copenhagen to see her off, and to buy her birthday present. I am 99% sure I picked the correct item, but I will know on Friday!
Now I can just relax and pass the time until I have to work tomorrow. It'll be nice coming back.
