I'm still undecided re if it is that you just can't comprehend anything about the different types of taxes people pay or tax liability vs not having a current liability because of credits that carry over (no matter how many times we explain it to you), or if you just don't care at all about the truth, or both.

Note, Obama was and is popular among the country generally speaking, but his policies are not. He thought that he could use his personal popularity to pull of a third term, so to speak. But the country wasn't having it.

How will I celebrate?

Champagne, caviar, fresh flowers, beating the servants.

So what do you think Trump is going to do to make us "great" again. He hasn't paid his taxes in years but all of us have to.
Our country, while still the greatest in the world, has lost ground due to greed, outsourcing of jobs, and poor leadership over several decades. If you are my age or older, you have clearly witnessed and experienced that. Something NEEDS to change dramatically; we have been in a downward spiral for a long time, in my opinion. As someone not far from "Senior" age, I certainly believe in the necessity of Medicare and Social Security programs. But those programs are in danger of being unsustainable; I believe solutions are what they are seeking. If they tamper with them too much, they will have nothing short of anarchy!

As far as Trump's cabinet being filled with the rich, that is certainly not something new.

We plan to hang the US flag upside down in front of our house, as it is a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life. Trump's presidency is an affront to all that Americans hold dear.

Try to show solidarity with both sides of the aisle:
  • Erect a new flagpole for the good old stars-n-stripes.
    • Then "build a wall" around it so that the flag has a "safe space." Additionally, I won't even "make Mexico pay for it."
In all seriousness, I'm going to do what I always do: Go to work, promote individual liberty, and try to live by a combination of the NAP and Golden Rule as best I can.

My plan is to drive to work rather than take the bus, so I can avoid the area where the big protests are planned and get home at the usual time after a hard day at work.
