We who laugh last ...

… will laugh best.

In November, we will elect a Democratic president, we will retain the House – and we very well may win control of the Senate.

It will be the ultimate ‘last laugh’ to watch Republicans deal with the fact that their willingness to lie, deceive the American people, and abandon their own previously-touted principles in order to cover for their corrupt “pResident” cost them all political power.

There’s nothing more devastating than realizing that after three years of manic shoveling, all you’ve accomplished is having dug your own grave.

Because to consider the alternative is impossible. I cannot survive another four years of Trump and Mitch. I just can't! Don't know what I would do, where I would move, how I would take one more step forward on November 4th.

That's why I'm very involved in my local Indivisible group and working on GOTV in my own little neighborhood.

Indivisible really rocks! I love my group - lots of new friends in there, which was wonderful for a new arrival like me, who didn’t know anybody.

They’re making a bet I think they’ll lose too. As my husband’s Australian coworkers say, “It’s as obvious as dogs’ balls.”

any and all damage he can do the rest of the year. And if the Senate doesn't remove his ass, he will gloat at the SOTU speech.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. Children in cages, immigration restrictions, social programs for the disadvantaged curtailed, rollbacks of real reforms everywhere..... all that’s happened already.

It’s NOTHING compared to what the Rethuglicans will do if LardAss and C-Sucker Mitch are still in charge come 2021.

Whoever ends up in charge needs to make damn sure the DOJ does some serious investigation into everything that has happened under turtle and the orange anus and dole out some serious jail time. I loved Obama but one thing that still makes my blood boil is knowing that he didn't investigate Bush and Cheney for war crimes.

He chose to reunite us as a country, rather than further divide us.

The case against Dubya and Cheney was never provable. But the case against Trump IS.

Don't confuse "we acted on intelligence that proved to be faulty" with "we know the 'pResident' broke the law and we don't give a fuck."

and unwind the Trump stain.

AG Harris will indict all of the conspirators.

Rosenstein will be fired. The victims of the DOJ purge will be reinstated.

Barack Obama will replace RBG on the Supreme Court.

The tax bill will be reversed.

Then, on January 21st, the real shit gets done!
