A POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR TODAY Honestly, voting is like taking a bus. If there isn't one going exactly to your destination, you don't stay at home and sulk—you take the one going closest to where you want to be. We can vote better than they can cheat.

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.
