I wish we could get past "Government should be run like a business!",

Exactly! You can't fire citizens or geopolitical entities that don't perform to some arbitrary standard!

And there is the point that Trump is a rotten businessman.

I suspect there are a hell of a lot more skeleton's in Trumps closet than W had and that a lot of them will come out and bite him on the ass.

I genuinely don't believe that anymore. I mean, I believe he has skeletons, but I don't believe they'll bite him on the ass. People will just be like "Well, that hooker he killed probably had it coming! That's just proof he can take decisive action!"

And I'm not kidding at all. (I used to joke that W. could eat a baby on live TV and people would just say "Look how much he loves children!" That was -- mostly -- a joke. But I'm really not kidding when I say I really believe a large chunk of people would be totally fine if it turned out Trump killed someone.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

People will just be like "Well, that hooker he killed probably had it coming! That's just proof he can take decisive action!"

"We all want to kill people all the time! He's just doing what everyone thinks about!"

I want a smoothie, but I'm also chilly. What's the warm equivalent of a smoothie? Pie? Cobbler?

I'm not kidding. There are a LOT of scary motherfuckers in this country, is what I'm saying.

And the right-wingers who are too horrified to vote for Trump will be unable to vote for Hillary, because they believe she's Satan, so they'll all stay home on election day and pray for the loss of our great, God-fearin' country and pack their bags for Judgement Day.

Oh that drives me nuts. Government isn't a business. It's about establishing justice, promoting the general welfare, and stuff like that, not turning a profit. Not everything is about money.

No, seriously, this is my dad. He thinks Trump is a jackass, but he's also fundamentally incapable of respecting a woman, so he won't vote for Clinton. As long as he stays his ass home on election day, I'll consider that a win.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Stout.

Or tomato soup.
