I'm so relieved that my dearest uncle has walked on. He was a conservative Republican, and he saw the writing on the wall before he died. This year's RNC would have made him cry.
Along with Melissa McEwen , I am hereby done with beating around the bushes with my vote.
It all boils down to this. A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for reasonable governance by the most qualified (but not perfect) candidate for POTUS this year.
A vote for the human dumpster fire that is the Trumper is a vote for global apocalypse.
Choose wisely. Remember to pay attention to down-ticket races in your state and local governing bodies.
And please, please let us all live for another four years.

At least 11 people shot, four dead in Dallas sniper shooting
At a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Dallas Thursday night, a sniper firing from an elevated position opened fire on Dallas police officers pulling crowd control duty for the demonstration, according to news released from the Dallas police chief.
One person shot is a civilian and is not in critical condition.
Ten police officers, including a DART officer, were shot by the snipers. Four of them are dead.
I really, really hope that the US House members are paying attention. Because if they don't do anything this time, there will be a LOT more Dems in the house after November.
Also, Dallas police released a photo of a black man in a camo T-shirt carrying a slung rifle. This man was later identified as the brother of the march's organizer. This man surrendered his rifle to police when the sniper shooting started, and HE IS NO LONGER A SUSPECT in this incident.
So WHY does ABC News still have his photo up as a "person of interest" on their website?
ABC, you done fucked up.
This shit -- the shootings of unarmed black folk by police, and police being shot at events centering black people -- has GOT TO STOP.
If the current Congress, both parts, doesn't hold an emergency session pronto to deal with this mess, then I may lose all hope for the USA's future.
Rage. Seethe. Boil. Fume. Flames. On the side of my face.
