I certainly didn't think my retirement years would be like this



Every single day, something happens that's more ludicrous, ridiculous, outrageous, unbelievable and stupid than the day before. To paraphrase Jeff Tiedrich, every morning it's "what the **** am I waking up to now?" When will it end? Who's going to stop it? How is it all going to be fixed in four years or eight years if/when I pray to God we get a Democratic president? It all seems so bewildering and hopeless.

Gas prices soaring. Food prices soaring. Healthcare costs soaring. Roads, schools and bridges crumbling. I worry that they're going to make sure Social Security runs out and privatize Medicare and how will I live after that? Every single dime that DJT and his crooked administration have enriched themselves with during his presidency is gone forever. How will we ever replace it so we can undo all the damage he's done? He concerns himself with things that don't matter to anyone but his demented self. I don't care about the reflecting pool; I don't want my tax dollars to go to building a bunker in the White House; I don't want my money going to putting up statues glorifying his dumb ass; and I damn sure don't want the insurrectionists of January 6 compensated with my money. I mean, WTF? Isn't it bad enough he pardoned them, now they get rewarded for it? For breaking the law, for fighting with police and destroying public property? "Law and order president" my big ass.

I am so embarrassed and disgusted that he's the president of our country. And I'm even more disgusted with the 30% or whatever amount it is of people who still support him, who don't open their stupid eyes and see who and what he really is even though he has shown them day after day after day since he first came down that escalator. I am also disgusted with his spokespeople who come up with the most outlandish excuses for what he says and does. And I'm extremely disgusted with the media that questions nothing, challenges nothing, sanewashes everything and just acts like stenographers taking dictation as he spouts the most stupid gibberish I've ever heard in my life.

So in an effort to stay sane and try to make sense of this crazy timeline we're all living in, I come to DU. I read, I learn, I laugh, I cry, I commiserate, I feel that I'm not alone. I really feel at home here and I'm so glad I have somewhere to go in these trying times. DUers are the best people. Thank you all for being here and (dare I say it?) thank you for your attention to this matter. Jeez, he's even ruined that expression for me.

If you had bothered to have a 401k or similar retirement plan, you have nothing to complain about. Being a leftist, you're going to complain about everything under the sun during a Republican presidency, and then conveniently shut up when a Democrat is in office.

Suck it up, pal.

As unsportsmanlike as shooting fish in a 5 gallon bucket:

Gas prices soaring.

Did you complain when Biden's gas prices "soared" even higher? Your poutrage obviously is partisan.

Quote
Food prices soaring.

Did you complain when chicken and egg prices "soared" due to Biden's FDA carrying out a massive cull?

Quote
Healthcare costs soaring.

Did you complain when OhBummer!'s ACA caused insurance rates and patients' "share" of costs to "soar"?

Roads, schools and bridges crumbling.

Dems have been yammering but doing almost nothing about "crumbling infrastructure" for 3 or 4 decades. How is Trump somehow to blame for 30 or 40 years of inaction?

Your mouth should have retired with the rest of you, like it did during the autopen administration.

And if I may be so bold as to point out, those Biden era prices were the direct results of Biden & co. policies. They were DESIGNED TO RAISE PRICES!! There was no plan to lower them back to normal. Do you understand this? Reread if necessary. Biden had no plans to come to your rescue. Meanwhile  the whining, crying, bitching, and moaning all in the name of TDS, requires you and your news sources to avoid this easily proven reality.

Blame it on Trump you 100% useful idiot. Damn, you're stupid.
