Wednesday

I think it is because I knew what was coming.

These days I have 2 reactions to OPs and News headlines...

I either burst out laughing at the ludicrous BS that we are expected to buy, hook, line and sinker from any corporation crying Boo hoo hoo

I immediately go into a 30 minute rant at the absolute crazy situation our dying democracy is in the midst of.

This is the shittiest admin our country has ever seen and it's like watching a FAST moving train wreck. I want OUT!!! I did not vote for this shit!!!!!!
