I don't know what to do

I don’t know what to do with myself on the rare occasion that it has been an hour and some new Trump fuckup hasn’t occurred. I am like, damn what is going on? It is too quiet. And then luckily before too long some other freakshow shit occurs.

What the hell am I going to do with a sane Biden administration running the show? I honestly don’t know if I am going to be ready for that.

what we discussed. He has all this reading and work to do and he says how very hard it is. First, law school is tough, stuck in apartment because even young he is pretty much isolating and then Trump performing for us every single day. He will get into the work for a couple hours then get on his phone and end up spending a couple hours catching up to all the crap.

How nice it will be once we get Biden in. I was telling him listening to Biden today. Calm, clear, normal, an adult. That it will be so peaceful when we do not have daily shows from the President. Including weekends and holidays.

should not be a constant squirrel chase or an endless train wreck even if that's what corporate media want because it attracts eyeballs. I'll be glad when the federal government is back to competently serving The People and the media are back to reporting newsworthy news stories.

I hope the media doesn't revert to its old ways and its false equivalencies, spend disproportionate airtime covering nutbags running for office who drive ratings.


I'm not saying the media scored the baskets - just that they racked up some assists.
