28. What did I expect them to do?

Fri May 10, 2019, 10:04 AM

May 2019

I didn't expect them to go on vacation from talk shows.
I didn't expect them to be as absent from the media as they could (Oh my, we weren't invited!).
I didn't expect them to be so freaking self confident that they ignored a lot of campaigning in what they took for granted were "Sure-fire Democratic" states.

Yeah, we didn't control shit. But then back in 2006 -2010 neither did the Repbulicans and they were everywhere complaining about Democrats while the Democrats sat back and did nothing. Because of that no Bankers suffered -no 1%ers suffered but a lot of Americans did.

What did I expect them to do? How about their fucking jobs? Just because they're in power or not doesn't mean they get a free pass on doing what they are elected to do.
