it's "fewer" crimes, not "less." Can't post this to Facebook as it would sully my Grammar Police reputation.

finally fixed it. Now you get in lines for 10 items or "fewer." But it took forever!

Thank you for saying it. It drives me nuts when our country is hanging by a thread, and all anyone can think about is the wrong word choice.

not compared to the amount, degree, and severity that Orange Judas bothers me. Not only not the same pew, but not the same church, not the same denomination, not the same religion, not the same universe.

I've actually had nightmares about him. I haven't had a nightmare since childhood. But I've woken up in absolute
terror, heart racing, shaking like a leaf, nightmares.

The worst one, I was dreaming that my cell phone went off, saying there was a national emergency. And in my dream, I think maybe I had a flip phone. And I could not access the information because I didn't have a smartphone. But the message on the phone said something about '30 minutes,' and to turn on the TV for more complete information.

In my dream, I ran in and turned on the TV, only to hear that the orange idiot did something, and another country was taking revenge on us, and nuclear bombs were heading our way. We were being told we had 30 minutes.
The bombs were going to hit in 30 minutes and that would be the end of us.

That dream had me shaking for days.

Both of my parents were veterans of World War II, and I am so glad they are not here to see this.

Heck, I wish I wasn't here to see this!

Trump doesn't need to back up anything he says. He can say whatever he wants and no fact check is needed

It doesn't matter what the truth is. The FOX news will report it as if it were true and then well the fucking Trump hard core remain the Trump fucking hardcore.

I'm sorry, I'm pissed tonight. I don't see a way out. I fucking hope I'm wrong. Tell me this Trump fuck is beatable.

The POTUS of the USA is a worse criminal than a serial killer! Don't let that slip by into how it was said.

I've started examining pretty much every tweet from someone new that I have either a positive or negative reaction to for indicators. Perhaps I've taken it too far by doing it all the time.
