172 raffle tickets were purchased by 77 people!
We raised over $5,000! $5,411, to be exact.
Each virtual raffle ticket has been assigned a number.
I need 7 people to supply a number in the comments – choose any number between 95 and 280, inclusive.
Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.
Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.
If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.
Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.
The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.
You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.
Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.
Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.
I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.
My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.
The jury literally has a bell they can ring to force Trump to show up on command. Greatest thing ever!
Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.
Innocent people don’t delay justice.
Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.
You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.
Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.
Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.
New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.
Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.
If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

We are actually giving away some quilts, because we have too many of them, but when I saw this one, I was so taken by it that I made sure my 4D contribution went through the quilt raffle. Had I won, I would be in trouble with my wife, since I was the one who insisted in downsizing…
Congratulations Memory Pallas. Is your nym a clever take on an ancient mnemonic system, among other things? I love it!

@danielx:
Now that’s a smart cat. Also a political one but still – a smart cat.
I would suggest to the cat’s owner that if djt ever shows up to your front door, especially if he’s asking for money, you know cup out and all that, that you make sure the cat is somewhere they can’t get to that open door. He is after all a past president……. Damn that is a very hard sentence to write, and even harder to actually think that this country somehow elected him to run the place, when even cats hate him.

Rigged!

I contributed but I didn’t enter. That quilt is gorgeous and my cats and dog would have destroyed it whether it was on a bed or hanging on the wall.
