10 things that I have completely lost patience over

1) That this country has the choice between Hillary Clinton, a highly competent and accomplished public servant with absolutely no "personal scandals," and Donald Trump, a raging meglomaniac POS who literally has done nothing for anyone but himself his entire life, and the raging meglomaniac POS actually has a chance to win POTUS.

2) That the people of this country are that fucking stupid.

3) That the media casts Hillary Clinton in such a horribly negative manner - not just constantly, but non-stop.

4) That the media full well knows what it is doing when it does this.

5) That the media gleefully holds Hillary Clinton accountable for its biases against her (which is the standard MO for any democrat).

6) That the media actively legitimizes Donald Trump by glorifying his calls to the lesser qualities of those in this country as JUSTIFICATION for candidacy. "He touches something in so many people!"

7) That the people are weak minded enough to either blindly or knowingly follow this POS are given such great deference by the media.

8) That those of us who have the common fucking sense to support the infinitely superior option are completely dismissed.

9) That those of us who are dismissed have to fight like our lives depend on it to keep this country from being completely fucked.

10) That the idiots who are supporting Trump not only delude themselves into thinking that they do so out of superior love of this country, but that they look down on and arrogantly condescend those of us who are trying to fight against this fucking stupidity to save the country.

Plus, I have lost patience with the "surrogate" system of the soon-to-be-tabloid cable news stations, which garners ratings for its Jerry Springer type action, mostly spurred by the non-stop incivility and gish gallops of the Trump surrogates.
