Loved this both for what was said and how it was said. Mary, you are such a good writer. The video clip was a treat, too. —the peaceable kingdom. May the country and all of us have that, too.

Sometimes being forced to slow down is the only way we actually see how unrelenting chaos around us has become.

Dr. Trump's pets are too adorable for words. I thank her for sharing them with us. It is worth noting that Donald has no pets.

And he hired a puppy killer.

Ted Faraone's avatar

Indeed he did. I understand that the puppy killer also killed a goat whom she thought did not like her. People who hate animals ought not be entrusted with their care.

Ruth Sheets's avatar

Ted, and folks like Ms. Noem should be entrusted with nothing because she is unworthy of anyone's trust, animal or human.

Ted Faraone's avatar

Well, Ruth, she is now two for two: two animals and two humans dead due to her. I agree with you. If anyone is a danger to others it is Ms. Noem. Heck, she struts about like a female Mussolini playing dress-up. And look at how he ruined Italy. Nowadays the Italian Army and the Carabinieri are assigned to PROTECT elections.

Beginnings of a psychopath.

Or maybe at her age the peak of one.

Lindsay Graham, the closest he's come to owning a dog!

Such a pathetic person! So hope he loses his seat!! Has he done anything for his constituents? besides kiss trumps ass on a daily basis??

Patricia, I am not sure that your comment is fair to our canine brethren. :-)

Patricia Turcotte's avatar

My apologies to all the dogs 🙏

Ted Faraone's avatar

Patricia, my late Poodle was head of all Dogs. On behalf of all Dogma, your apologies are accepted. :-)

Mary, I love your writing and your photography. Strange that out pets eventually learn to coexist. It is too bad that people can’t exhibit the same traits. I am happy that you are feeling better.

Take time to get well and be well. Like the laundry, all of the chaos is still here.

Trump and colleagues say his Administration is the most transparent ever:: Yes, Trump is so transparent you can see right through him”! A great quip to use.

Bronchitis is really making the rounds. I’m almost 3000 miles away from you and have two friends with it. It is so true that there is so much awful from Donny and company that You don’t even know which awful to start with.

Lisa Botwinick's avatar

I had two friends also with bronchitis, however, they are in NY as well! I'm OK so Tuesday I can start writing postcards again. I have been swing and ballroom dancing and taking a watercolor painting class on line so they both help me be distracted from all the craziness. I thought SNL would be on last night and do a skit with Bitchy Bondi but the Olympics were on. The next SNL is going to be on February 28. I hope they do a skit about Bondi as I'm sure it will be very hilarious! Even the real one made me laugh!

Glad you are feeling better! Take care as we need you!

While I was watching the committee hearing, and seeing how awful Bondi was acting, I kept thinking, this is fantastic material for an SNL skit, especially with the “Dow is at $50,000!” On the other hand, her refusal to even acknowledge the very real living human Epstein survivors struck me as incredibly crass and ghoulish.

Lisa Botwinick's avatar

Wow! Great! She is definitely crass, cruel, ghoulish, Bitchy Bondi! Yes, that was sick that she said that about the Dow, changing the subject and as that is only for the people that can afford to invest in the stock market.

I wonder if she was sexually abused as she's having a difficult time with it? I studied social work and now I am a life coach part-time online. That's how my mind works.

Jennivieve's avatar

Feb 28th!? Yikes 😢

Lisa Botwinick's avatar

Yup! I wonder what's happening next Saturday night with SNL?

Melanie Lenart's avatar

Rest restores the spirit. Hope you find other ways to get more of it! Blessings to you.

Karen Sinclair's avatar

Such a calming video! Filled with love.

Pamela Tanton's avatar

Good to know the animals have finally chilled out. Can we trust humans to do the same? Ummmm….

BabsPHL's avatar

Thx Mary, we sure need that right now. Hope you're doing better

It's been really cold in Toronto since mid January. I am also getting over a bad cold or something. We have had plenty of snow, on top of the cold here. I have actually had to take time away from the lawlessness and corruption of this regime. I was shocked when he got elected and cried tears of joy with my sister when Joe Biden won in 2020. I knew it would be bad when thiis so-called president invaded the Oval office but I never thought I'd see the USA being taken down so fast, Mary 😔

Poor Toronto this winter! My former home, I’m now in Vancouver where we had not a flake. Take care Patricia!🇨🇦👍

Ruth Sheets's avatar

I am glad your health is improving. This winter has been hard but knowing how hard it has been for me, it reminds me that there are a lot of folks enduring even more, particularly the folks in Minneapolis who have bravely stood against the forces of evil who have stalked their streets, kidnapped neighbors, murdered citizens and shot others, terrorizing children while they call the people of Minneapolis and St. Paul, domestic terrorists. We are in a kind of collective winter when our beliefs and understanding have been compromised by rich white men and their toadies. Those in power have decided that unless we bow to them, we are their enemies. In fact, they are working hard to make us their enemies. We need to find ways to stop them before that happens and a lot more people are harmed due to the utter ignorance of Toddler-Trump and his white house/cabinet/congressional Republican toddler pool. We can do this because we have the ability, the intelligence, and our constitution as well as the will to stop them! We are also the adults in the room and must find ways to put this whole cadre of Trumplandia to bed for a needed nap.
