Yavin4's JournalElections have consequences.
This is what happens when your friends don't vote or vote 3rd party. This is the reality of a Republican controlled government.
I don't hate Christmas, but it's way over-hyped.
First of all, it's not the most wonderful time of the year. I live in the N.E., and the most wonderful time of the year is from late May to late September. The weather is beautiful. You can go outside. Everybody is relaxed. People take vacations. It's just great.
Second, the music is too much. Every where you go, you hear Christmas songs by artists whose record labels are looking for cheap sales.
Finally, people stress themselves out over the holidays with the parties, the shopping, eating, etc. Why? Once New Year's day rolls around, we go back to being normal, like nothing happened.
2019: We will get the final season of Game of Thrones and the final Chapter of Star Wars.
And a Democratic congress that will impeach Trump.
Opossum breaks into liquor store, gets drunk on bourbon
A worker there found the opossum up on the shelf next to a cracked open bottle of liquor with nothing in it. Assuming the opossum drank it all, he brought her to us, and we looked her over, Michelle Pettis, a wildlife technician in the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge.
She said the female opossum was salivating and appeared to be pale and disoriented when she was dropped off at the refuge.

My thoughts:
1. Florida, of course.
2. Gotta admire the choice. This opossum has refined taste.
Update:
She's fine. She's working through the steps.
So, will we see media editorials about how the Republicans need to reach to African American voters
esp. African American women voters? Will see editorials scolding Republicans for ignoring the needs of African American voters and how they need to stop writing off these voters?
I'm looking right at you Mr. Chuck Todd.
Presidential campaigns and transition teams should be forbidden from enagaging foreign officials
prior to inauguration of the incoming president. For incumbent presidents, no member of national intelligence or foreign policy team (State, NSA, CIA, etc.) should have ANY role in the presidential campaign.
I know that the Logan Act exists, but we may be we need to take it a step further.
All human civilizations seem to grapple between the forces of progression and regression
Seems to me that there is always a battle between humans that want to have a better future and those that think that things were always better in the past. Some of it self interested. Those humans that benefit from a rigid social-economic-political-religious order want things to always remain the same because they're the ones on top, and there are those humans who want to correct the injustices and incorrect thinking of that rigid order in order to create a new hierarchy, a hierarchy built on the knowledge that we gain over time.
What Trump, Bannon, Moore, and the Republicans represent is that rigid order where White males, regardless of their talent, will always sit atop the hierarchy. Being born an American White male automatically should mean a middle class life, no matter the broader economic forces, no matter the education/skills level, no matter the changes in the social culture. White males have to be on top because that's how it was in the 1950s.
In the end, the forces of progression have to win because if they do not, humanity will cease to exist on planet earth.
