'things are not going to stay as they are"
You will need to go back to changing oil and tires for a living come the November election

You are so out of touch with reality that one wonders about your ability to evaluate and analyse your situation let alone our community's

I will bet dollars to dough nuts you are gone come November
NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON!
