I hate the world. I hate politics. I hate Trump. I hate Republicans. I hate Democrats I hate the news. I hate Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. They’re all games. And I have my “teams.” I have sides I “root” for. “And if they don’t win it’s a shame It’s one, two, three strikes you’re … Continue reading If I Was Smart, I’d Stop Checking Media
