Processing Prez Don the Con

I'm still just trying to absorb that we elected an orange reality TV star as our president. It just hasn't sunk in yet.

I could say what a million other people have said, but all I can take away from the reality of our election is that there is good news ahead. Before I get to that, look at the tale of the numbers with no spin or partisanship: Republicans barely, barely eeked out this win.

shitshow storms

Funny that I don't write on this blog for a year, then I write a post about Don the Con the day before the infamous "grab her pussy" tapes drop. Now the GOP is in open revolt, with 30 days to go, and with massive defections from their nominee. Enjoy the shitshow, folks!

election 2016

I voted for Bush twice and Obama twice. Spend more than five minutes reading through the material on this blog and you'll know in a hurry that I'm a liberal. How many people would even continue reading to find out what I think about this election? How many just shut down the minute you use a label like, "conservative" or "liberal" or "progressive"?

I want to say that I genuinely feel like this is not a normal election, and so serious reflection is called for. Our country is the greatest democracy the world has ever known. Democracy depends upon the citizens doing their civic duty and voting. Voting responsibly requires reflection and information.
