shannon_aIt is shameful that 48.5% of Alabamans voted for the child molester. It is shameful that Trump and the Republican party both fully supported him. They all put party ahead of country, ahead of values, ahead of morality, and ahead of their childrens' safety.
It is joyful that they lost anyway. Not only were they forced to reveal who they really were, in their heart of hearts, but they did so for NOTHING.
Sadly, it won't be soon enough to stop the Republicans' 1.5 trillion dollar giveaway to multimillionaires and malevolent megacorps. That boat has sailed, probably sailed when Trump was elected by 19.5% of the people of the United States. Our children will be raised in a dystopic plutocracy where they fight on the streets with shivs made from the bones of their siblings in the hope of obtaining enough food and water to survive for another day beneath the chokingly polluted orange and brown skies of an America whose coastlines are sinking beneath the waves, whose midlands are melting under a roasting sun.
But maybe we'll save Social Security and Medicare when they come for it next year, allowing us old fogies to enjoy this country's last hoorah, before the obscenely rich rocket into space, with their hookers and their blow (but not their pets; that's low class), lighting the way with the world's last dying embers while looking down upon American civilization.
As they always have.
