Any of you ever thought about running for office?
I'm watching John Boccieri at the Biden rally. My husband has talked a lot about eventually running for office when he can finally get out of the Army. I've occasionally thought about it too, but, lol I might have too many skeletons in my college years closet.....

1. I do very seriously often consider running for Senate or President.
Clearly, I'm in no position to run for president at this point.

But the more I see things getting fucked up and discombobulated, the more and more I consider heading to the Senate.

And I'll be the honest guy - "Damn right I smoked dope in college."

3. As I told a friend who mentioned doing that
"Not only do we know about the skeletons in your closet, we ARE the skeletons"

4. I lack the looks, the charisma and have a few skeletons
other than that, I would be perfect.

6. My skeletons are actually pretty minor compared to lots of
those who have made it into public office, I suppose.......

But right now, lmao, I have four little kids that kind of need their Mom since their Dad keeps getting deployed.

But, once we've settled in an area, I am pretty sure I'll enter into local politics and then go from there. My Mom always used to tell me when I was a little kid, "You should be a diplomat!" lol I'm kind of verbose though.......like to talk if none of you have noticed it already.

7. I'm far too honest
And my skeletons would probably put most people's to shame. But if I could get a do-over on life, that is definitely something I would do.
