Someone tried to assassinate Trump yesterday

Talk about a strong challenge to the ol’ “everyone deserves to be safe, loved, and warm” belief, huh?

Even though 15% of me thinks it’s fake (he’s in the WWE Hall of Fame and was teasing a big reveal at this event on Twitter), nobody deserves to be shot at. Not even Trump.

I also don’t think it’s victim blaming (to Trump) to say that this is a result of 1) too many guns, and 2) almost 10 years of whipping the far right wing into an absolute frenzy. That dumb 20 year old who shot at him and was subsequently killed was 16 or 17 when he watched Trump supporters storm the capital. We are reaping what we have sown.

Thoughts and prayers.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
