exactly what I said the Deep State (lobbyists, banks, certain corporations) have been on a so far 40 yr mission (starting w Reagan, run by Regan, former CE0 of Merril Lynch)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Regan to dumb down America...they got 'em right where they want them now...ill educated. Repub leaders want a Plutocracy.
To get rid of Trump, we recommend adding a 1/2 cup of apple cider to your bath and then vote like hell.

Margaret this is probably it for us. Most likely our last presidential election. It’s been a hell of a ride. We’ve always voted, but nobody paid attention until Matthew put our words in a blog. It started with that bitch Palin. What a hoot. Along the way we met idiots like Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Bachmann, and that Muslim-hating woman with the crazy hair at the John McCain rally. Oh, and let’s not forget Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Ann Coulter. One couldn’t form a coherent thought and the other couldn’t write a grammatically correct sentence and yet both were held up as leaders for the conservative movement. More like a bowel movement if you ask me. And more recently there was that horrible Sarah Michelle Gellar. No wait. She’s lovely. I mean that horrible Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She’s heinous.
Thank God for those eight years with Obama or I might not have had anything good to say. But in the end, it all boiled down to one asshat that ruled them all: Donald Trump, the orange yeast infection that has irritated us for the last four years. America has never needed an antifungal cream more than it does right now.
Normally I’d tell you to run a bath and add a half cup of apple cider vinegar and soak for at least 20 minutes. That’s usually going to get it under control. But this particular strain is infamously bad so it might take a prescription strength medicine of some sort. In fact, this strain has proven to be deadly, killing almost 230,000 Americans so far. When you talk to your doctor make sure she is aware of all the symptoms:
1. Itchy rash 2. Racist tendencies 3. Xenophobia 4. Excessive, compulsive lying 5. Burning sensation 6. Lack of respect for fallen soldiers 7. Desire to mock the disabled 8. Willingness to orphan and cage children 9. Voter suppression 10. Sexism 11. Watery discharge 12. Tax evasion 13. Adultery 14. Sexual misconduct Type A – groping 15. Sexual misconduct Type B – rape 16. Stupidity – All Types 17. Treason
For the life of me, I’m not sure why 40% of Americans are willing to live with such a horrible yeast infection. I can only assume massive quantities of Tucker Carlson numbs more than just the brain.
It’s unimaginable. Forty percent of Americans are ok with hating the other 60% of their fellow Americans because Trump told them to be afraid. Forty percent of Americans are fine having a President who has 26 credible accusations of sexual assault and bragged about it on video. Forty percent of Americans watched an adult make fun of a disabled person and 4 years later they want more of that. Forty percent of Americans gladly gave up their confederate flags and white hoods and replaced them with a Trump flag and a red MAGA hat. Forty percent of Americans can kiss my ass.
We are supposed to be better than this. We are supposed to be Americans first and political foes second. Under any other Presidency we would all be wearing masks because Americans have always taken care of Americans in times of crisis. We have our flaws, but we’ve always come together when we had to. But under this guy, under Trump, we couldn’t’ even come together to fight a global pandemic. Wearing a mask is just too much to ask. Grandparents have lived long enough evidently because wearing a mask to protect them was just too much of an inconvenience. You have asthma. Heart disease. Cancer. An unknown health risk. Screw all of you because that mask is uncomfortable.
Is this who you want to be America? Is this as good as it gets? This idiot? This orange, thin skinned, balding sex offender? Margaret and I hope not. We both married and have now buried veterans who fought for this country. In their honor and in their memory, we implore you. Vote. Him.Out.
And don’t just vote. Take a friend to vote. Take your adult children to vote. Take your mothers to vote. Statistically speaking, you might want to leave your white husbands at home. But take everyone else and vote like your life depends on it.
Don’t rely on the polls. I’m not sure I believe in shy Trump supporters who aren’t showing up in the polls, but I certainly can believe some of them are too ashamed to admit it. There are more of us. Show up and we win.
Just vote. This is your moment. Seize the day and change the world. Margaret and I have enjoyed getting to know you. But our best days are behind us. It’s up to you now. Your future awaits.
Vote for Joe. He doesn’t itch. We mean it. Really.
