Four years ago, I sat alone in an office during work at a computer desk, as I had no internet to do remote work on. My social media told me what was happening and I became enraged, my blood boiled and I was appalled as Id ever been in my life.
But I couldnt get too mad for too long because I had to interview some local seniors for the upcoming girls basketball senior night game the next night, which was earlier in case COVID shut everything down again. So, I had to find a way to be calm and act like a professional, and it got my mind off what was happening in real time.
And I thought Republicans would cave and hed get to stay.
Now, four years later, here we are. I thought wed win, but it was hardly a major shock we didnt. Im appalled as all get out and very much disgusted, but not entirely surprised.
I didnt even bother paying much attention to the court and lawsuit drama over the past four years. Why? Because something told me hed somehow get away with it.
The only, and I mean only good thing about losing President Carter is he can still get the proper treatment and respect he deserves while President Biden is still in office the next two weeks.
What a country weve become. I say that in astonishment, and not in an enamored way.

I am so glad President Carter died before the inauguration. It's bad enough that he had to live through the orange shithead winning the election.
It feels like that movie, Groundhog Day.
