a short period of time. IMO, it wasn't our candidate who failed, it was the voters who apparently want a celebrity who puts on a show over wise leadership. Well, it's going to go downhill from here.

As I roamed the aisles trying to figure out what I could still get without using a debit card, it occurred to me the experience was an omen for the next 4 years. A total clusterfuck.
