I know it's Christmas Eve day right now. But for me, the truth of the matter is no present I get tomorrow morning is going to be better than the one I'm expecting next November. And by the way, it's not just a present for me—it's for the world.
My hope is that the November midterm elections will restore control of the house and senate to the Democrats. Then, from net neutrality to tax cuts for billionaires to eliminating environmental controls to reducing liability for banks to the war on women, gays, minorities, immigrants, Muslims and many, many more, they can start systematically reversing every single awful, destructive, uninformed, self-serving, racist, oppressive, shitty decision the current liar-in-chief and Russian operative has made.
And they can do it the same systematic way he's tried to undo every good thing his predecessor (are you sure he can't run for a third term?) did.
While Republican dipshits who voted for a tax code that lines their pockets at the expense of the middle class will have long cashed out by then, despite what you've heard about those cuts being permanent they're not. It's only legislation, and fortunately, with the right people in office it can all be reversed with the stroke of a pen.
So, a merry Christmas to all today and tomorrow. But my hope is the real present is coming next November, which should also make it a happy new year for all.
Until then, please accept this as my little (emphasis on "little") gift to you. It's sung to the tune of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Please to enjoy.
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Democrats are coming to town
They're making a list
And checking it twice
They already know who's naughty and nice
Democrats are coming to town
They'll start impeachment proceedings
Like all polls say they should
They'll re-write executive orders
So they'll actually do some good
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
We're not gonna die
Democrats are coming to town
School lunch programs will be funded
Infrastructure will improve
Obamacare will save thousands of lives
Even though Republicans disapprove
They'll be draining the swamp
For real this time
Immigrants won't have any
Stupid walls to climb
Democrats are coming to town
Democrats are coming to town
Democrats are coming to town
