The Cold War is Over and We Lost

So what fresh hell am I waking up to today?

We’re ending all attempts to stop Russian online attacks? Did I read that right? I could not possibly have read that right. You think data breaches are bad now? Oh just wait.

We’re eliminating all economic sanctions against Russia? Did I read that right too? Sure, that sounds like a good idea.

We’re ceasing (I believe the word was “pausing”) economic and military aid to Ukraine? Even though there is an actual, literal LAW in place to send them the aid?

And you still think the orange shit clown is not a Russian agent? Really? 50% of the voting population of the united (fascist) states of america is still with him? Un-fucking-believable.

The president is a Russian agent. The cold war is over and Russia clearly won. It just took a little longer than we expected. Maybe this will unite Europe somehow. I don’t know. I can’t seem to find another potential bright side to all of this rampant fascism.

But hey, at least we don’t have a president with a vagina. That would be completely unacceptable.

All of Those Childhood Fears

Fucking Putin.

Too late to start prepping for nuclear winter now. I guess we’ll just have to wing it.

Change of Plans

For the first time we are skipping Weight Watchers. It has nothing to do with fear of the scale. Nothing to do with the fact that we threw a birthday party for an 11 year old last Sunday, and that the cake was gigantic and absolutely magical in It’s deliciousness, and therefore is gone.

No. We are skipping the weigh in and the meeting because the USA vs Russia hockey game starts in 13 minutes. You can take the Cold War out of the international political climate, but you can’t take the Cold War out of the Olympic Ice Hockey fan.

USA! USA! USA!

War Games

We just watched the old Matthew Broderick, Alley Sheedy flick War Games. ‘Member that one?

The kids didn’t get it. They didn’t understand why the situation was so terrifying to me and their mother.

Of all the things we have to be thankful for, that’s way up high on my list.
