Got a call earlier tonight

from the Republican National Party. They wanted to know if I thought President Trump was doing a better job than President Obama.

Dear lord, no! I said. Trump is the worst President ever and he's personally responsible for the recent mass shootings. I added that if the Democrats were to nominate Satan himself in 2020, I'd vote for Satan over Trump.

It was a robocall, and I didn't stay on the line to see if the robot would say anything else.

Do you think I made myself clear enough?

I think the phone would melt due to my passionate profanity.

My outgoing message since Nov 2016 has been, "This is ***-****. Please leave a message, unless you're a Republican than please run along". I have screened all my calls since 1984 and usually changed my message all the time to make it happy and fun to listen to. However, I must say that I get a lot of responses that say, "I love that message" from total strangers calling me for whatever reason. I really wanted to say, "...than please fuck off" but I am too nice I guess.

Great!

I’ve taken to saying “unless you’re a Republican”.

As in
“Hey would you do me a favor and hold this door for me?”

Me:
“Sure, unless you’re a Republican.”

They'll be reporting how 110% of all responders said they loved the Rump above God herself.

Not sure I like the 4th one though.

THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS.
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend.

To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.

People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and remediate any harm that may have been caused.

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought.

The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
