This will be right up there too. His "brand" won't be so shiny now that the History books will have a black mark next to his name. The "TRUMP brand" officially stands for corruption and criminal behavior, no matter what country you live in or when you read about him from now on. The brand is tainted, not exactly what he had in mind when he ran for POTUS. He never thought he'd win and only did it as a publicity stunt for more money for himself his rotten spawn. His name will be remembered longer than he intended and for the opposite reasons.

My life is always contrary to that of others. I have Seasonal Affective Disorder, only I get depressed in the spring and summer and sail through winter.

I passed, so I'm ok with the date.

Besides, I'm Jewish and the superstition is rooted in Christian theology and pagan traditions.
13 is a good luck number in Judaism. Bar mitzvah, the 13 attributes of G-d. Not very observant but I did go to religious school.
Hoping for a good day today, I need some positivity.
