As holidays overwhelm us, we have the horrendous tax bill, Net Neutrality, Puerto Rico, US

Virgin Islands, the damned Keystone pipeline and all the countless environmental rollbacks, the removal of bans to lion and other big game trophy hunting (which is on, despite the temporary ban for the elephants), the health care debacle, and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. Not to mention Roy Moore and all related...

They are purposely launching missile after missile after missile to keep us so overwhelmed we can't block them! I want to fight back, but how the hell do we fight ALL OF THIS?

Outside of that...you shouldn't be overwhelmed during Thanksgiving. Just use the bag. Your turkey will always come out juicy and it is almost impossible to fuck up!

Thanksgiving doesn't stress me, it is the Christmas cards, gift shopping, mailing, cleaning that I have do.

If elections are hacked or stolen, I think we have major unrest in the streets.

If America decides they want trumpian policy, the entire world will spiral into chaos and war.

If the liberals, good gals and guys win, there is a slight chance we survive.

Between now and then do what I do, drive everybody you know CRAZY with the info like the VA is about to be ENDED and access to the internet ENDED and Medicare ENDED And so on and so on.

Be loud, be obnoxious and NEVER shut up!

Only our game has tRump and his allies (masters?) taking the place of the unseen enemy lobbing ever-increasing missiles at the nearly defenseless citizens below.
