39. If there was only one chance to save humanity...

but that chance depended on me saving Donald Trump from burning to death while I roasted marshmallows on the flames... I guess all I could say is "well, we had a good run, too bad its over."

I would not piss on him if he were burning ion front of me and I would physically assault and prevent others from extinguishing him.

One of the thousands of things wrong with Trump is this - he believes that he is on the same level as a Bath Ruth, Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky (the best ever at what they did), when in reality he is a stumblebum clown, who AT BEST might be considered on the level of a Marty McSorley character (for the non-hockey fans, McSorley was the designated goon for Gretzky, who would start fights or beat people up but had as much skill as your average Zamboni).

I can't adequately find the words to truly describe these last 12 years. History is going to look back at this error and shake its collective head but we are stuck living in it. It hurts. Its physically painful and stressful to see the progress of justice and equality being beaten into a bloody pulp and have leaders about as effective as the proverbial submarine screen doors getting rolled daily, but it is what it is now. There will be a lot of work to address when he finally dies (hopefully he is stroking out as I type), but having to live through this has been exhausting, deflating and humiliating as a person who once did love this country and still loves the ideals it once held forth.
