WTF America?

If you haven't been in a coma or stranded on a deserted island for the past couple of years you are aware of the shit-show that has been the presidential campaign and election of the United States. Like the majority of U.S. citizens I, also, placed my vote for Hillary Clinton to elect the best qualified candidate as well as ensure the progress made by President Obama would remain in tact and restore our Supreme Court. Something that shouldn't have been dismantled by the same members of the senate who verbalized their intent to make our current president fail.

The mission, to make the president fail, required the same senators to disregard the rules of law applicable to their duty to uphold the constitution by confirming supreme court judges appointed by the president. But disregarding their duty to put country (meaning the laws of the country defined by the constitution and its amendments) before party or politics isn't anything new to the most dysfunctional legislative branch since Abraham Lincoln's presidency. These are the same group of degenerates that brought our federal government to a halt under John Boehner's reign of gridlock. Despite Boehner's stepping down, the ideology that both senate and congressional republicans cling to (without wavering) is the same, repugnant mission statement and now it is sure to continue.

As if things aren't bad enough, now we have a president elect who's, even, more unhinged than both the senate and congressional majorities. And, because of their abuse of power by refusing to do their fucking job, our third (and final) branch of government will not serve as a check nor will its symbolic scales be balanced. Our judicial branch, the branch that has continually held the other two branches accountable, will deliver us (the citizens who pay all of their salaries) into an era that has never been foreseen - let alone charted until this year's election.

Those who allowed their fear and/or hatred to engage their ignorance and divorce any human decency they had prior to casting their vote for the president elect have stripped me of any fragments of an optimistic delusion I once held in an abundance that told me, "most humans are fundamentally good." Because they did so despite the fact that most of them said they wouldn't or couldn't vote for him "in good conscience." Meanwhile, the majority of us didn't vote for him because we knew that a society that doesn't learn from the mistakes of the past is doomed to repeat those mistakes. We, also, know that the definition of insanity is to repeat the same act expecting different results, however, this insanity is worse than we've ever seen or experienced. It was deliberately chosen because of its insanity, which should scare the hell out of anyone who's sane.


Well I extend a sincere "fuck you very much" to those of you who have preordained the rest of our fate while ensuring that a pathological liar and narcissist is well positioned to (actually) do "pay for play" and more. Frankly, it's the "more" that scares the shit out of me and the rest of the majority. If there's ever been a situation where I've prayed to God I'm wrong it is this one. Those of you who know me, personally, are aware it hasn't happened before with any one of the countless times I've been horribly right no matter how wrong I wanted to be about whatever it was I warned people. Let this be the time and issue where I'm wrong. Please, all of you who created this mess, prove me to be wrong. I'd much rather be wrong and happy than right and miserable.
