The narrative is made up of many such understandings, tacit agreements small and large, to overlook the observable in the interests of obtaining a dramatic storyline.

Word. The WH has inquired about the economic impact of this lasting til March or April. April folks. April. What are we doing? Im more thankful than ever that I'm a reader and here. And btw the fed courts don't run out of money til next week, so we're blessedly ok at the moment at least financially. (This also means there will be zero backup plan for the next several years for the judiciary) off to read a romance once the driveway is plowed!

Lea I‘ve been reading an above normal amount for 32 days now...trying to stay away from any comment section or anything. Bleh 5y
Kaye I know this won‘t be a popular opinion in a Book Group , but there are times ( like this) that ignorance is bliss. We have no control over what is currently happening in the government. It‘s not yet time to vote and get any of those Nimrods out of there so I‘ve chosen to go NEWS FREE . It‘s easier than listening to this day after day after day. It‘ll wear you down mentally. 😱 5y
BethM @kaye that's a very good point . I've definitely tried to limit my exposure but as a federal employee I have to pay attention. But I also need to work on limiting myself more. 5y

#photoadaynov16 I can't think of any political fiction at all that I have read, but I stood in line for an hour and a half today to get my vote on!! It was cold too.
