Well, doggone it, I promised I wasn't going to get into any more political debates, but I just have to ask this question: Is it just me, or does anyone else have a hard time taking an argument seriously when the person arguing cannot be bothered to check his spelling, punctuation and grammar? I mean, how smart can they be, and why should I think they know what they're talking about?

Yes, yes, I'm a bit of a snob. Oh, well! I cannot believe in the rantings of a person who writes "are children" instead of "our children". If you don't know the difference between to, two and too, there, their and they're, here and hear, lo and low, etc., I have no trust in your ability to differentiate between truth and "fake news".

By the way, I do indeed know the difference between a personal tax, a small business tax and a corporate tax. I can add, subtract, multiply and divide. I'm also quite adept at reading more than one report--and not a meme--about various topics before deciding which ideas are more suited to my needs and those of my children. I can certainly recognize when the futures of my grandchildren are imperiled by greedy, self-serving ass-hats.

The current majority administration has, at this point, no redeeming qualities. Even if Trump and Pence should be impeached, the next-in-line party members are every bit as corrupt. We are doomed to fall face first into a sewer of their creation, and I can't envision a workable escape route.

It's depressing, distressing and demeaning.

This past week has been a nightmare. Tax bill passed without being read--or even legibly written; Trump in Utah reducing the areas of Native monuments; plea-bargains; and nonsensical tweets by someone who should REALLY keep his thoughts to himself. It's insane.

If the USA is now an international laughing stock--and it is--shouldn't we be doing something sensible to get back on track? Like NOT endorsing accused child-molesters for public office? Like making sure that public education is completely funded, and offering teachers more incentives to continue educating our children? You know, useful things.

Billionaires and corporations have more than enough money and tax breaks already. Trickle down economics do not work.

I'm so tired of these guys. Why can we not just fire everyone and start from scratch?

How sad that we came to a point where everyone figured they had to choose whoever they felt was the "lesser of two evils".

Damn.

Okay, rant over.

I'd like to follow up with something jolly and clever, but it doesn't seem fitting after that.

I would post a puppy picture, but then no one would take me seriously, even if I spelled everything correctly.

I'm just going to say goodnight.

Goodnight.
