First, I dunno if the GG will read my blahg today. He doesn’t always. I don’t think he can keep up with me. Hell, *I* can’t even keep up with me. But I’m taking a risk writing about the mini-win I had on Thursday. We are in a “mixed” marriage. MAGA vs. sanity. My viewpoint at least.

Make no mistake, the GG is a wonderful guy in all other ways. He helped me take care of my mother when she was dying and all that goes with that. After she died, he organized and trailered all of the physical objects that needed to be moved somewhere to wherever they needed to go. I was working full-tilt-boogie. He is also a wonderful father. Born in the middle of 10 siblings, he had been changing diapers for umpteen bazillion years when Little Cat Z was born. I had NEVER changed a diaper and I that continued for another couple weeks as I recovered from, uh, a rather massive amount of stitches.

Preamble outta the way. We had multiple *polite* conversations throughout Thursday about the horrendous Minnesota ICE shooting. MAGA talking points about “domestic terrorist” came through. I looked at those videos too. What I saw was it seemed like split seconds before the ICE guy (’cause I don’t think he’s a real cop) left his car, ordered Renee out of her car and when she tried to flee, he shot her. Where was the polite (but scary) guy at her door asking her polite (but scary) questions? The ones a REAL cop HOPEFULLY would ask. Ma’am can I see your license? Nope, this guy just ordered her outta the car and very quickly shot her.

I had trouble processing the videos that day and I know there are more now and I haven’t even watched all of them. All I could think of was how I would feel if were driving that car. In one that I did see, she told the ICE “cop” something like “I don’t hate you.” It sounded like multiple people were yelling and giving her maybe conflicting orders. Y’all have seen all these. I would’ve been totally freaked out and maybe a bit frozen encountering that kind of situation.

If I had been driving that car, I would have tried to get outta there ASAP. And that’s what I think she was doing. Trump was lying (lying lying lying lying because that’s what he does) when he said she ran over the ICE “cop” and he was in the hoosegow with critical injuries (or whatever). He was not injured. The ICE “cop” walked away unscathed from a minor “nudging” incident.

I want to see the ICE “cop” prosecuted. But. I also want to see ORGANIZED, PLANNED, deportation procedures where people are not randomly picked up because of their skin color or whatever and thrown onto planes to whatever country might take them, even if they have never lived in that country. This administration has even tried to deport US citizens. Yes, it has. Look it up somewhere besides MAGA slanted media.

I could go on and on about this but I will give kudos to the GG (aka Suzy Homemaker) who cleaned the hell outta the bathroom today, also the kitchen floor. I think he was partially providing silent commentary about my kinda half-assed cleaning efforts lately. (I do clean the toilet.) But I appreciated his efforts. When he starts cleaning stuff, I get outta the way. It works better that way.

The mini-win is that I heard the GG tell his ID twin that he agreed me about the shooting. I was like YES but we’re still in a marital journey through MAGA.
