AND A HAPPY NEW YEARS TO YOU

I AM SICK TO FUCKING DEATH HEARING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP
Especially
at this point in my life, I don’t need the goddamn aggravation.
I am an analytical
person – a math and science background.
The emotional rollercoaster that Trump drags around unsettles my daily
composure and is affecting my home life; and at my age, days are precious.
Here are 5 postulates
I consider as truths:
1. Trump very well may be elected
president. The gerrymandered Electoral
College could place Trump in office even though he will lose the popular vote.
2. Trump will never go to jail. Every judge is aware of the violence that
would ensue if Trump were incarcerated – and we can’t forget the Secret Service
protection issue.
3. Any President, regardless of party, will pardon
Trump with the condition that he will never run for public office. Trump would accept the pardon and immediately
violate the condition.
4. If Trump loses the election he will claim
election fraud and anarchy will ensue. Radicalized
militia and cult followers will target Never-Trumpers and liberal government
officials with threats and violence. We may
well see a replay of January 6 encouraged by Trump.
5. If Trump wins the election the United
States will no longer be a world democracy, but will rapidly move toward an authoritarian
regime with the Executive Branch usurping power.
6. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. There
is nothing we can do at this point about the outcome. Everything is already baked in. Trump supporters are a solid block, Biden
supporters are a solid block, and anyone undecided at this point is a moron and
attention-seeking. Deal with it. We
will just have to wait for the outcome.
Getting
steamed up about the daily machinations of Donald Trump is wasting time and
bringing unnecessary stress to daily life.
Go to a good
restaurant and have a delicious meal. Go
skiing – it’s wintertime up north. It is
hunting season - go enjoy the outdoors with your buds. Have sex. But quit obsessing about Donald
Trump – what will be will be.
As far as I
can see the only thing that might avert the unsettling future would be for
Trump to choke on a Big Mack, have a brain aneurysm and become more of a babbling
idiot than he already is, or for Melania to bite off his dick and leave a stump
so small that EMTs can’t staunch the flow.
Fuck it!

Possibly ,because I have no family to trace, I have always decried genealogy research as somewhat ridiculous. With a science/math background I tend to look at things pragmatically. Generations increase exponentially going downward - where as populations decrease going downward. At some point your exponentially generation count will surpass the world population.
By your ninth generation you literally have over a thousand direct ancestors. Any one of those decedents only represent one one-thousandth of your DNA. Realistically not enough to actually claim kindship.
Somewhere between 1490 and 1470 your ancestors, counted exponentially, surpass the entire world population (400 million approx. world population - 738 million ancestors - circa 1470.)
This of course is ridiculous. Obviously along the line your generations become incestuous: wives with multiple husbands and husbands with multiple wives and sexual relations between brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles - and of course: I'm my own grandpa.
Young women have typically started families by age twenty; therefore, I have used twenty years as the time interval for previous generations
