The Swamp

Moreta

I don’t know where most of you live, but if you have republican senators, now is the time to call, write, fax, and email.

I am despondent that this country let it come to this. My husband, trying to bring me comfort, suggested that perhaps Trump would wait on a nomination until after the election ...

Tell them Biden supports good cops, and nobody should support unchecked abuse of power, especially good cops. (I'm sure that will make you very popular in your department). But seriously, I feel for you having to bite your tongue and listen to them.

I don’t bite my tongue. Everyone in my ...

If i hear one more cop say they weren’t going to vote for Trump but Biden doesn’t support them so they have no choice...

Shut up Ponch. You voted for him before and nothing was going to stop you from doing it again.

I can’t wait to get out of this damn job.

Need a woman here to tell us if Matt Dillon was sexy enough for a straight-laced cop to risk a case she was on the cusp of breaking to fuck. Moreta, if you're lurking...

Yeah, so, this is late, but....

Absofuckinglutely.

Also my law enforcement experience suggests that most (not all) women ...

Wrong on the first, right on the second.

This family situation definitely sounds like some Quiverful bullshit.

I doubt he was even on suicide watch. The previous attempt was 3 weeks ago- it is likely that a determination was made in that time that he was no longer an imminent risk.

I hope they can charge Maxwell. I hope these victims get to see *someone* held accountable for this depravity.

Eat the rich.

I went to Detroit public schools and had a fair number of black teachers and a couple of Asian teachers, but I’m willing to bet that the majority of my teachers were still white women despite a significant majority of the city being black. I don’t remember ever having a Latinx teacher- my Spanish ...

My knitting site made me proud.

School district

Square footage: enough for kid, extra kid, and bonus kid.

Sidewalks, relatively level to assist with learning to bike

Main floor/bedroom level laundry. Honestly, plus extra laundry in basement/utility area, but I know that’s unreasonable.

I like ranches with bedrooms and ...

Looks really great! I’m living with a painfully outdated kitchen because I can’t face all the decisions I’d have to make in the process.

My daughter just bought a condo after a minor flip (new paint everywhere, new flooring everywhere, new bathroom vanities, but not much of substance done) and has ...

Happy Seasonal Holidays, from Moreta and the gang.

At least Detroit isn’t alone I guess.

So embarrassing. But also unsurprising.

This was hilarious. I’m glad it’s back.

I live in Michigan’s 11th congressional district and I have never been so glad I don’t watch much broadcast TV. The ads during the football games have been relentless.

That said, I’m canvassing tomorrow.

Flake and Corker are calling for a delay until she can tell her story. Whether or not that makes a difference, it's something.

I heard the delay is really because they don't yet have the votes to confirm.

Murkowski told my mom last week that she’s a no, but she hasn’t said anything like ...

That was awful. But 3 votes from me!

The Tigers organization has been pretty bad at baseball of late but they did a stellar job with their event planning around the jersey retirements for Morris and Trammell and the 50th anniversary of the ‘68 championship.

There’s always a tweet. Courtesy of Vox, who dug it up.

Just came here to post that too. :-D

Fun game at the Copa today. The Tigers retired Jack Morris’s number. They also managed to win despite all efforts to the contrary.

Moreta

Still the not-so-subtle nod to “all types of racism” though. Maybe Stephen Miller wrote it.

We've had a Kenmore for at least 10 years, it is a beast.

I’m on my second Kenmore canister vacuum. The first one is still in use at my father in law’s house. It is 20 years old. I love them. They can get all the way under a bed with no fiddling with attachments. All the attachments store on ...

She brought up that institutional racism knows no one party and that if Republicans are defeated inevitably Democrat flavored racism will rule. She gave an example that a particular proposition passed in LA to give money to build some homes for the homeless. The city council, mayor, and others ...

I had to double check to see if I posted this.

The movie was fun. Definitely one you shouldn’t overthink (as was the first one) but fun.

Odd meaning incredibly good, if he likes Thin Lizzy? :)

Damn good, especially for a 17 year old! We took a short road trip yesterday and he managed the playlist. We had Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Wonder, Queen, Dire Straits, and a lot of Dave Brubeck. I think I’ll keep him, even if he did throw ...

Call it a tribute to Phil Lynott. :)

Her 17 year old brother would appreciate that. He’s got odd taste in music.

I have a Keith and a Noah (no readily available diminutive). I also have a Madeline who insists on the full name (“I am NOT Maddy!”). Benjamin is Ben to his family and Bench to his friends and Elizabeth is sometimes Beth to her family and Lizzy (heaven help her) to her friends.

My oldest was Joey ...

Chief of my department insists on the full David. I still call him Dave. Definitely don’t trust him.

The clubhouse attendant is the son of a high school friend of mine. I’m glad he was fired and there was no half assed suspension instead. That kid loves his job more than life and this broke him.

This is Bootsie from last week. She had ACL repair surgery today but is still a very cool dog.

Incredibles 2 was highly enjoyable. I wish I had shown up late and missed the animated short that preceded it though. Man, Pixar knows how to punch me right in the gut.

I am impressed with my recent performance.

Can I just say how glad I am that you guys are so accepting of therapy and even encouraging it? I think there might be hope for humanity yet.

Johnnie, I hope this leads to you being in a better place, both physically and emotionally. <3
