My blood is on their hands and when I die I am going to have my family record it to share with the world. I AM serious. I wrote it into my trust last Dec.

(51,430 posts)I thought that today was already really shitty but this late night news (and not on a typical Friday night news drop) has put me over the top. When Ali Velshi announced it I thought I was interpreting it incorrectly. It took a full 5 minutes for it to sink in that it is really happening. I have been dreading this since last year. It gets worse and worse. We can't take it anymore. I support a coup at this point.
