But I don't want to be the bigger person. I don't want to be the adult in the room. I don't want to go high when they have gone low. I'll tell you what I do want, I want an insurrection. When do I get a coup?
I understand plenty of the people who voted for Trump did so because they're afraid of change. The world is rushing forward and they feel like they're being left behind. Oh boohoo. Do you really think putting your money down on the fascist ticket is going to change that? Because it's not. Trump and his plutocrat pals could not care less about your problems. But worse are the ones who find him repellent but still voted for a lying, racist felon because they didn't want a woman president. Sometimes I think my brain is going to explode.
That's all the ranting I'm allowing myself today. In other news, Peet's, the world's finest cafe, has returned the seasonal delight of iced gingerbread to their menu. Its annual inclusion on the menu is a delight for me, even if its appearance does mean that the mewling, tinkling tunes of Christmas music are looming ever closer. Please goddess, spare us just a little longer from Silent Night. Every year I feel like Mariah Carey starts bleating just a little sooner. Mariah Carey is on the horizon, like Godzilla coming for Tokyo. Stop it, goddam it, stop it. Okay, okay, so I lied when I said I wasn't going to rant anymore.
Guys to help bolster our spirits:
I do wonder when the people who voted for him will have buyers remorse.
ReplyDeleteWhen will Project 2025 affect their lives and how upset will they be.
I read about fifteen years ago a Russian predicting we would have a civil war. I think we may be getting closer to that.
Lots of people are going to just say no to the GQP.
It’s just a hop, skip and a jump until New Years now.
I just watched the movie Civil War and it really seemed like a possibility
DeleteMr. P., it is soooo depressing that so many US citizens were willfully stupid and voted for the convicted felon instead of a woman. Like you, I try to look at the bright side - we're almost through the damned pumpkin spice season!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, too
PS: That first guy is giving me Bobby Ewing vibes. Where's Pam?
DeleteAnonymous, too
I'm just unhappy, but not surprised
DeleteCock is about the only thing to distract me. Funny how it always takes my mind off things.
ReplyDeleteI depend on it
DeleteFuck! You mentioned Mariah-fucking-Carey. Now, I bet her godawful caterwauling's going to be playing next time I'm in Morrison's. Dammit! Jx
ReplyDeleteSort of like Bloody mary
DeleteI'm only interested in good news (bad news is horribly aging), so hooray for iced gingerbread!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I don't know whether feet are good or bad news, but I'll gladly take the rest of Foot Guy and his gold cup. (He reminds me a little of my neighbour...)
Foot Guy is the always charming Carlos Lazo
DeleteMmm, I'll take Jerrad Swodeck, the hottie with the fine ass in #1. I used to see him at the gym in DC.
ReplyDeleteOh my dear. I am swollen with envy.
DeleteDamn… gold cup guy. Also- Spanky hates Christmas music just like you. He was just bitching about it yesterday. I sing Christmas songs just to piss him off.
ReplyDeleteeverybody likes Mr. Gold Cup, aka Carlos Lazo. AND STOP PICKING ON SPANKY, my favorite nephew.
DeleteWelcome to the autumn of my/our discontent.
ReplyDeleteI am so very discontented.
DeleteMy sphincter keeps opening and closing just like Beaker's mouth at the thought of having that handy man. I don't like feet.
ReplyDeleteMee Mee
DeleteYep, we all need a vat of escapism in whatever shape or form.

'Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers'. Damned shame that they voted in the kind of leadership they deserve and the rest of us have to suffer along, though. BAH HUMBUG
