fykeylicious 1,099 Report post Posted November 15, 2016 Yeah I had an anxiety attack last week (not a full-blown panic attack, but bad enough), so I've mostly stopped watching the news. Of course it's all "fine" right now...but let's see how shitty things REALLY get in January. And by "fine" I mean...not fine. The amount of wine I have consumed in the last week is shameful. I'm going to be round soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess 1,712 Report post Posted November 16, 2016 Look up what our new VP Pence did in his own state of Alabama. The only thing that stopped him was federal courts, which now Pence and Trump get to pick - one position at least on Supreme Court, and more likely 3 because 2 of the more liberal judges aren't expected to live.

fykeylicious 1,099 Report post Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Slate ran an interesting article basically saying Paul Ryan is now running the government. I want to punch something every time I see his smug face. Shame, cause ordinarily he's not a bad looking guy. Too bad he's a shit person. I'm gonna need a lot of weed and wine if I'm going to make it to 2020. Just saying. Edited to add the link, although don't bother if you're already at the point of madness: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/11/welcome_to_the_paul_ryan_presidency.html Edited November 16, 2016 by fykeylicious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dixiedoodah 1,003 Report post Posted November 17, 2016 The fact that the popular vote lead keeps getting bigger and bigger is killing me. He needs to be humbled by that, but he won't be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, and with all those fools who didn't vote, his victory isn't as great as he thinks. If only we could get a do-over, I am positive the results would be different. What was it John Oliver just said? Hindsight, like the year we are all eagerly looking toward, is 20/20. Edited November 17, 2016 by fykeylicious 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess 1,712 Report post Posted November 17, 2016 Oops yes - Indiana. He has done horrible things in his state. And now he's picking the Trump team to run our country. And I just had to get off of birth control pills because of my high blood pressure. Worst timing ever. I love the donate to Planned Parenthood in Pence's name campaign: http://motto.time.com/4573956/planned-parenthood-mike-pence-donations/?xid=time_socialflow_facebook I showed to my boss who just told me to write a check for $1k in Pence's name Gotta take the little victories when I can. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KikiTopaz 34 Report post Posted November 18, 2016 So we're all a bunch of pot head winos? God, I love this group. I am definetly not happy about Pence. Trump is going to be impeached, but Pence is downright scary, especially for women and children. (didn't he approve a bill in Indiana that says you can physically punish your children?) I am more afraid of Pence rising to the highest office of President than Trump's mishandling of our country. We'll survive Trump. Pence? I'm not so sure. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,712 Report post Posted November 19, 2016 I have a horrible feeling Trump will stay mostly involved in making his money (did you see he won't set up a blind trust like other presidents have done?) while he lets Pence actually run the country.

fykeylicious 1,099 Report post Posted November 19, 2016 Someone on Twitter (it might have been Adam Scott, but don't quote me) said 2016 is like one big advent calendar where each day you're given a new turd to eat. That has been pretty damn accurate for me at least. And I was convinced 2016 had to be better than 2015! Guess I better keep my hopes for 2017 down in the gutter where they belong, eh?

Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted November 19, 2016 Yes, I saw the advent turd comment. True. Finally watching Dave Chappelle SNL - had seen opener before, now watching the monologue, which is as good as I'd heard... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
