 If the Republicans retain their Senate majority, the McConnell-orchestrated gridlock will continue. Any relief package will be small, grudging, and late. McConnell’s primary aim is to prevent the Democrats from accomplishing anything.

Oh, you ate emotionally even though you talked to yourself and knew you weren't really hungry. Gonna try again tomorrow, right? Gonna fast, eat at night, keep eating and keep not being able to stop? Gonna keep doing the same thing, hoping you can change? You'll never change, you'll always be the fat girl and your going to end up sick, in pain, and amputated limbs just like your mother. The fries and chocolate cake are worth it, right?

Announcement: For the foreseeable future, I’m going to shut off the anon feature for a while. 

Let me briefly explain why...

I’m not sure what I did that was so terrible, but since 2 -- going on 3 weeks ago, I’ve been getting weird and shady ass anons in my inbox weekly and I don’t appreciate it. Some of them, I haven’t even posted. I try my hardest to be nice, kind and accepting to all points of view to everyone in this fandom and even apologize if I accidentally mess up, because there is room here for everyone; and quite frankly -- I’m appalled at the contempt I’ve been seeing out of a few of you lately who have the audacity to hide behind that anon feature and not stand behind the words and shade you’re wanting to throw my way. 

That feature is an elective privilege that I don’t have to have open on this blog. So, in closing, if you have something to say, step up and say it directly to me without hiding -- or shut your mouth and kick rocks.

Thanks.

Opinion | What the stimulus bill tells us about each party

Republicans and Democrats alike are making clear their values.

“The contrasting motivations of the two parties are now starkly clear. Republicans are virulently anti-government and apparently more interested in grabbing stray goodies for the donor class than in helping the country fend off a full-fledged recession....No wonder Republicans feel compelled to run on bogus scare tactics (Democrats are socialists!). If they ran on their actual priorities, Republicans would consistently lose at the ballot box.“

A good roundup of what the stimulus bill does and doesn’t do and what’s likely to happen next.

“How big is your TV? Do you have a phone? Is there food in your fridge? Is your heating on? Do you have hot water? Have you ever smiled? Have you experienced joy or ANY other positive emotion? Have you had a single moment in your life that wasn’t a grinding horror of unending misery? Oh you have, have you? Well, so much for ‘poverty’ then, eh?”
