And anybody who has a problem with that can kiss my ass. I was recovering from life saving heart surgery in 2017 (I almost didn't make it) and watched that asshole try and kill the health insurance that saved by life on the TV from my hospital bed. If Trump dies, I will cheer. If he suffers, I will cheer. I owe him nothing, not even an ounce of grace. And I'm not interested in hearing anybody who says I do or that I should be better than that. He has earned every bit of virtiol directed at him and then some.

If you are a generous and tolerant person, you will react by giving thoughts and prayers for his speedy recovery, and hope he grows a bit as a person from the experience.

If you are a petty and vindictive person, you will react by hoping Trump, Pence, and their entire families die a horrible, painful death.

And if you are one of Trump’s five children, you will react by hoping against all hope the probate judge won’t notice the “Genuine and 100 Percent Real Last Will and Testament of Donald J. Trump, Super Genius, Expert Businessman, Real Billionaire and Greatest President the World has Ever Known” that awards 100 percent of Trump’s estate to you has “Made by the Demo Version of Adobe Photoshop” watermarks all over it.

Let me fix that for you. "If you are an incredibly naive and pedantic idiot with a misguided and phony sense of moral superiority who's actually stupid enough to think that Trump is ever capable of growing as a person, then you will feel this way."

My usual reaction to this disaster, as all the others, is wishing justice on all those who voted for him, or otherwise helped elect him, by their getting what they chose for others. That's an awful lot of broken and dead people, though, and I can use a handler.

GA's governor recommended all schools close, and our grandsons' district is, notices coming about digital learning schedules. Nursing homes in Georgia are also about to be closed to all visitors, including family. Our son's business does some work for them, but they'll have to show up with masks and proof they're not ill.

"For he did not remember to show kindness,

but pursued the poor and needy

and the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

He loved to curse; let curses come upon him!

He did not delight in blessing; may it be far from him!

He clothed himself with cursing as his coat;

may it soak into his body like water,

like oil into his bones!

May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,

like a belt that he puts on every day!

May this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD,

of those who speak evil against my life!"



Oh, man, all of my "F-U's" to IQ45 could not have said it that well!!!!!

I wonder if Pence will quote that particular part of scripture when he gets to lead the service for IQ45 when he kicks?

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places.

Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
