I think it likely that Vice 45, as a late-comer to the campaign, kept well clear of the crooked stuff with an eye toward filling in as President after a forced resignation or impeachment. That would still be a marked improvement for the country as a whole, though horrible for my specific minority and related ones.

Pence, for all of being evil, understands the political process.

He's also a firm evangelical believer in bringing on The Rapture, like, next week, is next week good for y'all? 'cause Saturday would be good for me, too.

I did say he was evil.

Yeah, there pretty much is no good here, not at all. Elections are our only hope, short of a coup.

ETA: And I'm pretty sure you guys know my expectations for the future of more than one-party elections.

I apparently use 10-key pads more than phone dials. I keep hitting 3 when I mean 9 entering this access code on the phone.

You'd think the 10-pad people and hte phone people could get together on this. The phone arrangement makes more sense.

I think we're undergoing a slow-mo Civil War.

I'm still Team Cap.

(Yeah, I know, but that's the only modern Civil War I will recognize, because the prospect of a real one is horrifying. So... #TeamCap.)

Ugh. Have three new employees on a project. One is so far really not impressing me. He has to fly somewhere and train people there. I gave him a heads up via creenshot, before he could access our internal systems, that there were four locations there—training only happens at one but he has to go to the other three also, briefly. He booked to leave the city at 4:20pm. I was like "do you think you'll have time to do the training AND go to the other locations?" And he said "well they're all in [city]". ...they are not. They're each 45 minutes to an hour from the main location , in different directions. Ugh. This man has been at the company almost 20 years. He ought to be on point.
