(Please click the title to see the full message; Meetup only emails a snippet)
We gather again this Thursday at 6:30pm at: The Hangar Restaurant on the second floor (there is an elevator in addition to stairs)
540 1st St S, St. Petersburg, FL 33701

We are sitting INSIDE during the remainder of the hotter/ stormier months. When in doubt, just ask a server where Drinking Liberally is (typically at a row of tables between the stairway and the bar).

I was up in Washington state last week visiting family and friends, and got back home in the wee hours Tuesday morning ...YAWN... It is SO nice when in a very liberal environment, and it reminds me how far we have to go in Florida.

Speaking of the Epstein files -- and we should constantly be reminding people that there is a LOT to yet be released/ unredacted -- this site, https://trumpepsteinreadingroom.com/ -- has info about "THE DONALD J. TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN MEMORIAL READING ROOM". I see this as a very good thing! They have printed out ALL of the released documents, and are in the process of touring various locations and helping keep the focus on the disgusting travesty of Epstein and his ilk.

We shall not get distracted by the ridiculous actions of Trump: renaming bodies of water, talking about acquiring other countries, ugly and unnecessary building projects, etc., etc. It is all a waste of time and an attempt to divert attention from the war without reason or strategy / end game in Iran, the horrors of ICE, the attacks on the Constitution, and so much more.

We shall vote in meaningful change in November!

Please note that several "regulars" show up most weeks and therefore do not RSVP (most weeks we have 10 or more folks - it varies) . Don't worry if you are new and only see a few RSVPs if you look at Meetup :) Anyone is welcome (as long as they are civil), and we talk about pretty much ANYthing -- some of which is political and plenty that is just life in general :)
