8/3

2 Mass shootings in 24 hours. One in ELP…20 dead, 40 injured, 59 seconds. Wal-Mart White Nationalist in his 20’s who was captured and taken alive.

1 this morning in DAY, OH. That I haven’t read about yet. 7 dead…so…ho-hum, I guess.

You say we want to ban guns? Hell yeah, I do.

8/4

Thoughts and Prayers and dancing around everything, blaming gun violence on videogames, liberalism, godlessness, mental illness….everything but what is named in the very problem: a GUN. Very hard to commit gun violence without a gun. Much easier to act on your Crazy with a gun. I’m not very interested in your counter arguments. And Trump’s incitements do not help shit.

8/5

Reps and Senators blaming shootings on everything under the sun except the guns for the 2 shootings. I am working myself into head pain figuring out how people can come up with these reasons…and why no one is given pause at the fact that Russia worked to elect our President, that Trump was the one they wanted and why they would work so hard to make sure that happened…NO ONE CARES.

8/6

People pissed about a New York Times front page story that says Trump urges unity vs racism or something, and I, for the life of me, don’t understand this outrage. Thoughts and prayers.

8/8

Well…another day where Googling “Tom Hanks Sex Scandal” yields very few results.

8/10

Epstein (sex trafficker, friend/accomplice of Trump) killed himself in prison. Conspiracists convinced he was killed because he was on suicide watch (he wasn’t. Therein lies the root of the rumors).

“I guess things like paying off my credit cards/getting a new car/my cat dying/celebrating an anniversary should mean things to most people. I appreciate all of you. It’s only my stupid little life. It’s telling when you offer more than the ones who are actually supposed to care.”—my tweet at 1:20 am. We’ll see if it makes it through the night.

8/16

Trump tried to buy Greenland. That is real.

8/21

Trump news:

Telling Jews who don’t vote for him are disloyal and ignorant of history.

Canceling a trip to Denmark because they won’t sell him Greenland?

This is our President in 2019. I’m hoping in a few years this is something we laugh about. Or use as a cautionary tale.

I wrote 2 bits in my Neo 2. 1. About the fear of losing one’s self. 2. The narrow-minded ness of “The Resistance.”

I will vote with you.

I will donate money for you.

I will try to inform people for you.

I will try to be a good human being for everyone.

But I’ll be damned if I’ll take abuse from you or spend my time arguing with strangers on the internet or fighting with my family over politics. None of that shit is worth it. And BTW… “Resisting” doesn’t mean tweeting all day. It’s a fucking joke.

8/22

Trump. Chosen one. Denmark, mangling a speech. Sigh. What a coarse and terrible man.

8/23

Kinda sold on Warren now. Hoping she beats Biden and then has a shot at Trump…would be such poetic justice if the pussy grabber got beat by a smart woman.

8/24

Trump claims he was joking about being the “chosen One.” Right.

8/27

I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you, sir, are in fact deeply frowned upon. When people see you, they frown. There’s little that can be done about this. Being frowned upon is not terminal, but it is very, very. Very sad.

Trump bragging and referring to himself in the third person. So tacky. Soooo tacky.

8/28

Trump denying citizenship to babies born to soldiers overseas. Also….some unconfirmed story about Russian oligarchs co-signing a Trump loan is making the rounds. (It might have been discredited…)

8/31

There was another mass shooting in Odessa, TX. 5 dead and 20 wounded. On a highway. Trump was golfing and “monitoring” the hurricane. God. Fuck this asshole.
