Don't listen to MSM Cable News shows and don't believe the polls these next few days before the election on Tuesday.

Tune in again on Nov 9th - when MSM really starts to spin the next chapter in Repug sandbagging and gridlock.

That's all folks.

no news day. What happened to the underage rape case? Did it go away or did the media just ignore it?

He was raised in Chicago and was excited about the cubs winning. He told me that my late Dad took him to his first cubs game in 1948. At the game it was announced Babe Ruth has died and they had a 5 minute momnet of silence. Anyway he told me he has been having trouble sleeping worried about Cheeto winning. He has 5 male grandchildren who are African American who are various shades of black and he is worried for their future. This is what this election has caused anxiety, sleepless nights and depression.

Tuesday can't come soon enough. I am trying to prepare myself if the worst happens but it's so damn hard!

That's the disease that Californians get that makes us want to vomit every time a commercial comes on telling you to vote yes or no on a particular proposition. And it's happening literally every 30 seconds right now!

That's why I come here to be with like minded people. I thought my head was going to explode last night listening to that KKK David Duke. This election is very scary.

I'm reading books, watching old movies and sports events on TV, working around the house. Hillary already has my vote and what money I could spare for her campaign. I'm just going to hunker down and see what happens next week. If Hillary wins, I'll rejoice. If Trump wins, I'll prepare for another civil war.
