My mother and best friend passed yesterday
She was the one who turned me onto DU. I would see her on the site starting in 2008. She didn't post, as far as I know, but she really enjoyed reading what other people wrote about the election and she agreed with everyone. One day I asked her what was it about DU that kept her coming back. She told me it was insightful discussions and the how polite people were to each other on here. She told me to try it and see. Well she got me hooked. She always called herself a yellow dog democrat- never quit understood that until she she said a yellow dog ( or any dog ) could run the country better than Bush and she vote for one if one ever ran. Then "it" stepped into the ring. She never addressed Trump with his name. She called him "it"- because he lurked in the gutters and scares the shit out of everyone"- She loved Stephen King. She said he would kill the country and everything it stands for. As she got sicker and was in and out of the hospital they would ask her who the president was ( to test memory ) she would say "it". They would at me and I would say she still has her memory, it's all good. This last week she was not here. She looked at me and never really saw me. She passed at home with me by her side. She was truly my best friend. People have been asking me what my plans are since I was her care giver and devoted so many years to being with her, I tell them keep reading DU and resisting "it", everything else will fall into place when the time is right

 

Ahhhh, another DUmmie politicizing a family death.

Yeah. Sure.    Hospitals are notorious for asking questions like that instead of "What's your name?" or "What is the name of your (family member)?"

This last week she was not here.

If what you said were true, your mother had been mentally incapacitated for decades, which accounts for why you also are.

One less bitter , hateful dimocrat contributing to climate change.

My condolences.

Insightful discussions?  How polite people are to each other over there?  Sounds like she(?) was confusing DU for some other website.

Furthermore, DU loathes "yellow dogs" every bit as much as they do the BFEE

I'm sad for her loss.

From what I remember of the 1980 Presidential election, when Ds who voted for RWR were called "Blue Dog Democrats", a "Yellow Dog Democrat" was a D who would vote for an "old yaller dog" before they'd vote for an R.

She thought Stephen King would kill the country and everything it stood for?

Did the OP do the merciful thing and tell her mother at the moment before passing that Trump had been impeached?

The way Progressive Twitter is tweeting, Trump should have been impeached by lunch today.

It's whole story is BS.  DUmmies maintain the same relationship with their parents (tantrum prone pre-teen) throughout their life.

The way their social media have been trending, Trump should have been impeached, like, the instant he announced his candidacy.

  read the first two sentences, it (deliberately) implies the writer was going to kill the country, "It" was a title of a King novel. Not bad, Bev.

Yeah. Sure.    Hospitals are notorious for asking questions like that instead of "What's your name?" or "What is the name of your (family member)?"

Yeah, because those answers will never change. You only ask time-related questions to see orientation and they will consist more of "what year is it?".

If the dummie is lucky it may get a couple hundred bucks. Then it will join undergroundpanther under a bridge somewhere.

Too funny, I had to reread that sentence myself, since that seemed to be the implication.
