The grieving process is continuing….and the only proper response to our Red Hat wearing citizens.
It has been well over 7 weeks since I have had the will to put my hand to keyboard and write anything of significance. Sure, I’ve been attacking the usual idiots on Twitter and also been observing the closet fascists from my alma mater trying to wreak their havoc, but

Today is President Shitgibbon’s last full day in office. He is expected to pardon over 100 miscreants, liars, cheats, and various other criminals who are reflected in his horrible existence. In the last 48 hours, he has continued to do his level best to lay landmines and other booby traps
