I had dinner with an old friend recently. Inevitably the subject of Trump came up, and I shook my head at the most recent noises out of the asshole’s mouth, about taking over a couple of independent countries – Panama and Greenland. My friend said he thought it was all just funny, not even a bad idea maybe and he gets a kick out of it.
I didn’t respond at that point, but the more I think about it, the more I want to call him up and ask “do you really think this is funny?” I think we are in for four years of horrible nightmares from this egotistical blowhard
Another friend recently said “well they are all liars.” Wait – do you really compare anyone else in the political sphere with the lies that Trump tells….every day?
Another friend (i do have some who are more grounded) asked if 20 years ago I thought we could have imagined we’d be looking at the political landscape we now have. In so many ways it is unimaginable.
More people in the US voted for Donald Trump than for his opponent! I am so embarassed by my country. Whatever you think of Joe Biden and/or Kamala Harris, it’s just awful to think that most of my fellow citizens would prefer Trump as the leader of our country.
I feel like I have election PTSD. I’m getting over it, but I have to blow through the US news each day to avoid what he’s doing – his appointments are nuts, the involvement of Elon Musk is dangerous and his Vice President is a boob.
Dry January is in serious danger at this point!
