Dec 11

Will die with no health insurance between next month and January 2027 plus months of arguing to get anything passed, majority or not. Then trump veto will show up. That is all IF nukes are not flying before. Feeling giddy about 2027 house takeover and insurance on the way rings real fucking hollow.
I for one do not want to hear a single fucking Happy New Year or see the damn ball drop. Yet trump and his fellow billionaires and his spawn will be partying like hell, with great health care, and cash flooding into their tax free accounts. That’s some serious God blessing Murkkka there. America is too stupid to survive. Darwin told us the outcome of such a weak species.
Others think God will rapture them to safety with streets of gold and mansions.
Can we convince trump to end himself to go get virgins and his streets of gold. Both his weakness.
