^So where in Canada did you chose to move? Hopefully someplace nice with a view of the wilderness I hope?

Maybe somewhere near Niagara Falls.

You act like my countdown is causing you pain.

It’s a bit annoying and very melodramatic.

Betsy DeVos, a galactically rich and galactically evil anti-public school, anti-gay rights donor appointed by Donald Trump to be our country’s next Education Secretary, is going through confirmation hearings tonight (sports angle: her shitty father owns the Orlando Magic). She was asked about guns in schools. She said it was worth exploring. Her reasoning? “Grizzly bears.”

This is no-shit good advice. I can’t tell you how many times through my years in California’s public school system my classmates and I were threatened by grizzly bears. Once at recess, I kicked the ball too far and my friend Chris had to go get it. He never came back and a week later they found his mangled body in a local grizzly bear den. The memory still haunts me to this day. I miss you Chris. I’m sorry.

  1. you can just ignore it and scroll past it. no big deal

  2. blame it on the people that voted for the nut/bigot/pig/bully/moron that is about to come to power.

I don’t like to victim blame.

Same can be said about all posts from certain people you call trolls.

No, I was more going with people who aren’t him are being blamed for his obnoxious countdown.

This works great on those whom a fair number of us consider trolls too.

Well yeah ok. The only one who should be blamed for his obnoxious countdown is him, unless a Trump voter got ahold of his password.

Yeah that my angle there. During the pre-submission process of my post I envisioned a tongue-and-cheek response involving inappropriately-assigned blame. It went through several different drafts and ultimately it wasn’t as clear as I had hoped or planned.
