I'm not sure if it's the darndest thing, but I'll always remember this.

About 30 years ago I was putting new strings on my guitar. I loosened the strings and then cut them so that I could unwind them quicker.

I put the new strings on.

After I was done one of the guitar strings that I had taken off was sort of hooked on the carpet. I picked it up from the opposite end and the part that was hooked to the carpet flung off and went directly into the wall outlet that was about 3 ft away while it was just leaving my hand.

It left the giant burn mark in the shape of a guitar string across the wall and made a big glowing spark. The string was actually glowing orange for a second. Scared their crap out of me!

I mean what are the odds of that? Lol

Not against someone who called half the nation deplorable,  had a personal unsecured email server while sec of state and is married to a sexual predator and corrupt criminal  bill

It was a surprise still and fantastic to watch 95% of the media here actually wail whine and some cry when she lost

The supernatural stupefaction which overcame everyone after the Internet became available to anyone was something to behold! It really brought the narcissists out!

I would say the same thing about potato head and 2020 after seeing trump fill stadiums while corrupt china joe could not fill a fast food parking lot...but still won SOMEHOW...

2k mules shows one way

The other is how the left can get our media to preempt regular daytime and evening programming to broadcast their 1984 style political witch hunts...
First the Russian collusion impeachment attempt and now the 1/6 exaggeration

...all to prevent anyone outside their dc crime family from ever trying to run for potus again.

Seems like that’s what we are always stuck with; the least worst of what bubbles to the top.

This is why I say that 98% of politicians give the rest of them a bad name.

So you voted for Clinton but you still get rather deranged over her (to the point of playing 'but what about' when the other evil is mentioned).

It was 2020, then last year, now it's this year. Hoping next year won't break new ground.
