It's Not Going To Be A Happy New Year. It Only Looks Worse.

Be glad when 2017 is gone. With all the crap we have gone through despite some promising victories it looks bleak. Seeing the GOP go gaga over Trump is the last straw and it just about makes you nauseated beyond belief.

The new meme that the GOP will now work with Democrats is enraging. What that means is that as long as the Democrats agree to play the fool and just pass what garbage the put forward they will work with them.

I still want to hope but it is getting harder.

That's why they like Trump. He's a bullying asshole.

They want to be like Don.

And I'm not as concerned about myself as I am about the younger members of my family.

Doug Jones was elected though a lot of hard work and volunteer hours. If we can capture either or both sides of Congress, we will have a much happier holiday next year.
