The Sunday Five: Politics

Graffiti near the Vatican in Rome. 

I rarely talk about politics on my blog. I have strong feelings, but try to keep this blog a happy place. On the occasion of a cage-fight on the White House lawn for HWSNBN's birthday, I am making an exception (what a national embarrassment.)  
The Cage Fight Structure on the White House Lawn for this clown show.
So much for dignity and respect. 

1: Did you vote in the last election? 

2: Have you ever regretted a vote? 

3: Have you written (or emailed) your political representatives? 

4: Will you vote in the next election? 

5: Today is "his" 80th Birthday, what is your wish for him? 

My answers: 

1: Did you vote in the last election?  Yes

2: Have you ever regretted a vote? Yes, a couple of times. 

3: Have you written (or emailed) your political representatives? Yes, not often enough. 

4: Will you vote in the next election? Yes, please join me. 

5: Today is "his" 80th Birthday, what is your wish for him? Two million people crowding the streets of DC cheering his name, it will likely happen at his funeral. 

Please share your answers in the comments.

  3. 1. I vote in ALL elections, regardless of how little might be on a ballots.
    2. No. I mean, wasn't happy about who I had to select, but it beat the alternative.
    3. Many times. It seems absolutely fruitless, but I do it anyway.
    4. Indeed I will.
    5. Painful death after he is charged with everyone of the crimes that is out there. I want those on the fucking record.
