• This is my plan

    I never paid any attention to politics until around 2007 when Obama was running. I did not even know that Clinton had been impeached back then.
    That's how little I followed things back then. I knew that he had
    problems over what was going on with Lewinsky, but I never realized that
    he had been impeached. I could not have told you in those years who was
    the Speaker of the House, or any of the other party leaders in either
    chamber. Had no idea.

    Diane got me interested. She would watch "Meet The Press" and/or "Face
    The Nation" on Sundays and I liked Obama so I started paying attention
    and have watched MSNBC a lot since then.

    But with the disastrous results from Tuesday, and the general
    disappointments of politics for me, I have decided that I am going back
    to not paying any attention to politics any more. I can't take another 4
    years of hearing about the stupid shit that Trump says and does every
    day.

    Hopefully I can go back to just being ignorant about all this stuff like
    I was for the first 50 years of my life.

    It's served you well in other areas.

    Very funny.

    Can you name some of those other areas?

    These assholes are more worried about getting their dozen eggs for a
    dollar less than they are about abortion, Ukraine, the Middle East,
    banning books, Trump sexually assaulting women, insurrections, and
    everything else combined.

    The ironic thing is, those prices are never coming down. These boobs
    actually think that Trump is gonna snap his fingers and make groceries
    cheaper.

    The ironic thing is he might actually bring grocery prices down. So many
    of us may lose our appetites because of his presidency, that the laws of
    supply and demand may take over.
