There\u2019s an ominous vibe to this year\u2019s holiday, what with the stock market acting like the proverbial snowball headed to hell, the President pulling the plug on the Kurds in Syria followed by the resignation of Mad Dog Mattis who may have been the last adult in the White House after Kelly was booted.  The Grinch didn\u2019t steal Christmas this year, it\u2019s the government shutdown.  The only folks who got what they wanted in their stockings hung with care are the right wing talk show pundits.  The rest of us deplorables, it\u2019s just more of the same, daily temper tweets, irrational outbursts, a never ending series of small seismic tremors that signal \u2026 what?<\/p>\n<p>Year 3 in the Trump Regime, can you believe it?  The Prez has pretty much emptied out the cabinet of naysayers so now he can proceed with whatever agenda de jour he wakes up with.  Fire the Fed Chairman, why not?  Bomb Tehran, might be okay.  Armwrestle with Little Rocket Man, sure\u2026.  The cuffs are off the big guy now, he\u2019s feeling cocky and as always certain of his every action.  The Trump kids are advising him if he needs extra affirmation, Jared\u2019s got the Middle East just about straightened out and everything is coming up roses.<\/p>\n<p>Except \u2026 well, that witch hunt.  Damn, if it weren\u2019t for Mueller and his 100% Democrat associates, America would be great again already.  Instead, there\u2019s this nagging cloud of corruption, collusion and criminality that hovers constantly outside the President\u2019s TV room  where Fox and Friends defends his every tweet.  Those pesky indictments keep popping up and old loyalists now are singing like canaries.  He didn\u2019t get Time Magazine\u2019s Man of the Year and this makes for a sour mood, forget that it\u2019s all fake news anyway, still, it would\u2019ve been a nice accolade and this time he wouldn\u2019t make the mistake of letting Stormy Daniels roll it up and smack his face on his naked ass.  No sir, he learned that lesson!  <\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re feeling uneasy this season, trust me, you\u2019re not alone in avoiding mistletoe and office Christmas parties belting out White Christmas.  Times aren\u2019t so simple.  And you\u2019re no longer the innocent citizen you once were.  Better get used to it.  As for a New Year\u2019s resolution, good luck.  Impeach him, lock him up (I know you\u2019re considering it), you get Pence.  Me, I\u2019d rather have the Grinch back. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fa la la la yerself!
