Minority Citizen

Day 3 of the new year, and things are already going to shit:

1. I’m sick.  The plague has returned.  It is yet another obstacle for the resistance.
2. House Republicans passed a vote to gut the independent ethics watchdog group… so now there can no longer be independent ethics investigations into Congress.  After much outrage, they dropped the change proposal, but Jesus H. Christ…. so much for #DrainTheSwamp.
3. President-elect Trump has suggested that we should stop using computers and technology for top secret information, instead preferring to use couriers and snail-mail.  I guess he just wants to receive his information like he receives his wives, but it would clearly be a huge step back, and also a bit hypocritical for our soon-to-be Commander-in-Tweet.

Happy New Year from President Barry:

President Barry has taken action against Vladimir Putin and Russia for their cyber attack on the US by deporting 35 Russian intelligence operatives and their families, within 72 hours.  Holy shit.  As this happens, the Führer-elect continues to deny Russian involvement in the hacks, despite US intelligence consistently saying otherwise for months.  If Vladimir Putin’s side-chick continues to tout this, perhaps President Barry can deport him as well?  One can only hope.  With less than a month remaining, hope is all we have…

Yesterday, Carrie Fisher died, and today, her mother died, because FUCKYOU2016GETTHISGODDAMNYEAROVERWITHALREADY!

In the midst of this, a GoFundMe page has been created to protect Betty White: https://www.gofundme.com/help-protect-betty-white-from-2016.  This is really where we’re at now.  I can’t decide whether to laugh, cry, or facepalm.  We’re all doomed.

Our final Christmas has passed.  Unless we find a new source, all the booze is gone.

Today was cleaning day, and we did our best to get rid of everything related to 2016, but the biggest turd is still waiting for us on January 20.  In a last ditch attempt to prevent the 2017 inauguration from occurring, protests are now taking place to delay New Year’s.  Given the shit-show that was 2016, I’m not sure how I feel about this, but 2017-2020 sounds terrifying, so I may just join the protests myself.  God I hope we find more booze.
