Today's rant: election season

I don't like the idea of political assassination.  That being said... YOU HAD ONE FUCKING JOB TO DO!

A fire chief in PA had to resign after making a Facebook post about wanting the bullet to have been 2 inches to the right.  Kyle Gass from Tenacious D was dropped from his talent agency for joking the shooter missed.  You know what?  I think they got hosed.  Why?  Because fuck Drumpf, that's why.

I dare you to make an argument why God decided that children in a school should be shot and killed and the old rich guy should be shot at and live.  I FUCKING DARE YOU!

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would say that the shooter didn't miss, and that the intended target was the firefighter.  I don't know for what purpose, but someone should go chase down that idea.  It's essentially the plot of the pilot episode of "Monk".  It makes as much sense as anything the FBI has determined so far over a motive.

I don't live in South Carolina anymore.  Fuck you, SC.  You were always the stupider of the Carolinas.  That's why we have 2 of them.  I live in Washington, now.  They mail out a pamphlet to let you know who and what you can vote for in upcoming elections.  I've started looking through this fucking thing, and goddamn, there's a lot to vote on.  Everyone running has a summary of what experience they have, their jobs, their education, and their mission statements.  The first thing in the pamphlet is US Senator.  A fair number of these people are complaining about a $34 trillion US debt and trying to scare people into suggesting their kids will have to pay for it.  Hey fuck-os!  A generation ago, schmucks like you did exactly the same thing to my parents, and I have never had to pay tens of thousands of dollars to settle some imaginary debt owed.  You act like one day, every single dollar will have to be paid at once.  That's not how that works, you dingleberries.  Haven't you ever heard of a monthly installment plan?  So fuck you and your scare tactics.  That's almost as stupid as "Goodspaceguy" whose campaign platform includes studying free market economics (Reaganomics red flag), ending homelessness, and building a giant orbital space colony.  Like I said:  almost as stupid.
