18. I agree!

I used to be MUCH more active at this site prior to the craziness of the last election. I was convinced that SURELY there was NO WAY anybody would vote for that idiot again.
In severe shock, I've quit following SO many 'pundits' and political leaders, having believed that they 'knew' - just like me - that there was NO WAY he'd be back. I, like them, was wrong.
I also had great faith in Jack Smith - and believed that Judge Cannon would be burned at the stakes by other 'professional' judicial associates. Again, I was wrong.

I'm feeling like I've had a 'sit-down' with my Dad.
"Son, there is no 'justice.' Bad people CAN and DO win. Not all people have a sense of 'what is right' and 'want to be fair.' People can be shits!"

I'm waiting for the 'Big Macs" to kick in. That is now the basis of any hope that I have.

Mom didn't lie to me about 'eating right' - did she?
