Good to see you tonight!

unsure whether to call myself a Stephen King fan - that man has cost me a LOT of sleep, staying up "just a bit more" for another chapter *ARGH*

Trump is the dark shadow of the United States. He is the horror hiding under the bed, the deadly snake that strikes when one lifts the rock. He is the cancer building in the colon, the alien clown floating with corpses in the sewer. He is the giant man-killing rat in the bowels of the factory, tearing apart workers on the night shift. He is the fanged langolier that eats what is left when time passes, the slow mutant crouching in the crevasse after the world moved on, the haunted killer automobile that seeks revenge against imagined wrongs.

I love Stephen King. Sorry to wax whatever...I don't think it was poetic.

Still, every time I lift a rock to shed light on the squirming maggots underneath, it turns out to be a wrinkled, liver-spotted, old, white, male hand, grasping after more profits. Trump is that hand.

no rant has touched me this much in a while. You call it waxing, I call it soothing.
