And now I’m just learning this jackass wants to cut funding to PBS and Special Olympics. This is crazy. I wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep if someone put this fucking wall building, dumbass clown out of his misery.

This week has been a comedy of errors. Last Friday Audi picked up my car for it's yearly oil change and inspection. Left me a loaner--2019 A4. Turns out my car has a problem with the water pump, and they don't have one in stock. Fine. On Saturday we let them know that the loaner is getting a "low tire pressure" warning. They say it's probably no big deal, likely a bad sensor. Get a call yesterday that they found another (smaller!) issue, and it would be a few more days. Today, I'm at a client's house and realize that the tire is actually completely flat. Luckily the client is only 3 miles from my house! So I drove home, and sent the Hubby pics that he has sent to Audi. I need a car, or my car, or something. I just had to cancel my tutoring client this afternoon. But that doesn't hurt my feelings too much since it's opening day of baseball season. Everything happens for a reason, right?!
GO CARDINALS!!!

But he's not the problem. We are. Because everyone is so angry at each other that compromise has become nearly obsolete. And rational discussion is hard to find because we try to make our point through memes instead. And we look at anyone not like us as "other" and believe there's no possible way that we could see eye to eye on anything. It's sad.

Exactly! As soon as he came up with that BS slogan “Make America Great Again”, I knew exactly what that meant. And his minions went right along with it as a means for it to have an effect on people of color. I agree 100% with your post. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a second term.

Trump’s power comes from division...he stokes it. It’s like he almost enjoys promoting anger and mistrust. What I fear is this: when he’s gone, how will we EVER get our decency and moral compass back again? Sometimes I’m really in despair over what America has become...then I get hope again. And I don’t think Trump will EVER give up power easily—I fear anger and violence, possibly stirred up by him. God help us if that happens.

There wasn’t any decency or morals before Trump. Never has been. There hasn’t been any of that since long before the first slaves were brought here 400 years ago this year. 1619. I’d think after 400 years people would have learned something. Haven’t learned a damn thing as far as I’m concerned. Cultural Conditioning still is highly active and visible. The only thing Trump did was bring all the hidden, racist bullshit back out to the open for all to see.

People who are still dissing “frats” with a meme apropos of nothing when they have multiple Greek friends (and when they were part of a way cliquier clique than the Greeks at their school) need to get off their damn high horse.

Arizona State University has a rather good men's ice hockey team this year, but will they make The Frozen Four?

Nope, but UMass is in it for their first time ever!

I think the only thing that can reunite the country is a major catastrophic event that gives us a new group to hate collectively.

^ I think that was yesterday.
I was out driving, left lane on a one-way road. Some asshat in the right lane decided he needed to be in the left lane, but actually LOOKING to the left to see that there was a CAR (specifically, mine) parallel to his was optional. So he just started to merge. This violates the laws of physics, as in, two objects (such as cars) cannot physically occupy the same place at the same time.
I honked my horn.
Did he hold back? Nope. He just kept creeping over into my lane until I was forced to yield in order to keep my car in one piece. So I hard-braked and let the asshat in. Then, I got around him on the right and flipped him off.
You do NOT piss off a Masshole.
