37. If Democratic voters don't vote in 2020 or vote for Trump...

Apr 2019

...because the House doesn't impeach, we deserve the government we get for being that stupid.

Everyone hears it every election. If this candidate or that candidate wins, I'm leaving this country.

Well, I really do have a house (on 25 acres) that my wife and I built in another country (Philippines. I know, Dutarte's not much better. However, their president serves a single, 6 year term and can't succeed himself, and he'll be out in 2020). We have no children or grandchildren, so leaving is real easy.

If Democrats don't give a fuck who's president, I surely care less. I will vote for the Democrat, but I have an escape plan.
