Sounds like grocery prices are going to go up.

You wouldn't download a vitamin

Good, the only way somebody like Trump doesn’t get elected again is if his current term is so absolutely horrible that he can’t run for a third. Which I have no doubt he will, even if it’s illegal.

I hate to break it to you, but disruption this early in the politics cycle won't be remembered in a year when the midterms cycle picks up. And certainly not in 3 years for the next presidential cycle. People have short memories.

It's starting now, nobody said it was over yet.

The "best" we could have hoped for was a quiet transition and a year of ineptitude for minimal disruption of normal folks' lives.

Don't get me wrong, I'll also be enjoying a bit of schadenfreude as the leopards begin hunting faces.

They had to fight for toilet paper under Trump and re elected him.

Well, now they can fight to feed their kids and pay their bills, since they won’t be getting welfare or healthcare. Nice thing about it is a lot of the people who voted for him last time won’t live to vote for him a third time.

Nope. The idiots who voted for him only see the name Trump. They don't pay attention to history. They heed no warnings based on evidence. They only care about what they want and forget what hurt them - unless it was done by an enemy.

They pay attention when they can't afford food, which is looking more and more like a problem.
