133. Short of a revolt there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do.

Jun 2018

I really have to laugh in a way. I am at the end of life and see that people really haven't gotten any smarter in regard to politics. Millions couldn't be bothered to get informed let alone get off the ass vote. So this is what they get and they deserve. Sorry that those who are not in the Malania camp and really do care are going to suffer. The only thing that personally affects me is the grand kids and just what kind of future they will have. Right now I wouldn't trade the life that I enjoyed for theirs.
