Going Off Script

Senator Raphael Warnock and Senator Jon Ossoff

Inside The Mind Of An Introvert: Comics, Deep Thoughts and Quotable Quotes

Ugh. Blech. On Thursday night, Trump will deliver a primetime speech, which has all the possibilities of being one of his most terrifying moments our country has faced. I am already stressed out. Will he end free and fair elections in his speech? Will he declare Martial Law? Will he unseat the two senators from, Georgia? Is he panicking? Will he simply deliver his usual long string of  unhinged, repetitive, whiny nonsense? Or has his Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, provided him with fake evidence that brings all of their favorite election interference conspiracy theories to life? Who knows what he will say, he almost always goes off script.

What do we do if he declares the 2020 Georgia election results invalid?

 What happens then?

I am terrified about so many things. Todd Blanche has a confirmation hearing later today and I have a little hope that he won't be confirmed, but at this point I hate dealing in hope. I will be watching it. It starts in a little 3 hours from now. At least I hope I will be awake. It's my plan to be awake. Sigh. I mean who can sleep? I still have so many questions just ruminating through my mind. Trump needs to be impeached and removed from office for obvious reasons. The only hope we have of that is the upcoming election, when we can take the house and senate.

Growing up I didn't have any idea that this would be what my life would be at 64. I knew physical pain came with growing older, but I never knew that I would be facing the stress of my own country becoming an authoritarian nation, led by puny tin pot dictator. On my wedding day, when hubby and I looked into the future, all we could see was incredible happiness. We were blind on love and hope. Life was shiny and happy for a long time. Then we lived through our share of tragedies, as most folks do in the course of a lifetime, but the last 10 years, better know as the era of Trump, has been among the worst of our life, for so many reasons. 

So yes, I am stressed.

But his speech isn't until tomorrow night. Let's get through today, shall we?

I hope Todd Blanche isn't confirmed.
