2/3s of nation said – nada, nothing, zip, zero – screw you/screw me, huh?

NO PRESIDENT CAN RUN COUNTRY ON HER/HIS OWN – those who did not vote just guaranteed that anything good President Obama has done or wanted to do is at risk!

Not that New York’s low turnout stood out in this election—according to U.S. News, fewer voters showed up in all but 12 states this year. Washington, Delaware, Missouri, South Dakota, California and Indiana all saw drastic drops, and only about 36.6 percent of the nation’s eligible voters cast ballots overall.

And of course, Millennials were too busy sexting or something to bother voting at all—according to NBC News, only 12 percent of voters in this election were under 30 years old. This was a bummer for the Democrats, who received the majority of Millennials’ votes, and got massacred anyway. The good news is we can blame Millennials for just about everything!

    3. There are no American beers/ales – beers and ales based on Dutch, German, and English/Irish and Polish Pilsners. Grin. Stopped drinking with no ill effects – the ill effects were when I drank – which after 30 was not that much anyway. One way or another, I knew it would kill me – so I stopped – same with smoking but that took longer. Had a shot at big paying job in Dubai and decided no thanks – even though the money would have made things easier now. Mayan kids in Dubai – a hoot – grin.
