It’s the day before Thanksgiving, and I’m feeling both lazy and completely disillusioned this morning because:

1) Trump endorsed a child molester for Senator and his supporters do not give a f*ck and the child pedophile may actually win;

2) the FCC lifted net neutrality rules and the White House — or pro-Trump supporters acting on the White House’s behalf — stole hundreds of thousands of identities and used them to write pro-Trump comments on the FCC comment system to give the illusion of support for getting rid of net neutrality and no one is going to do sh*t about it;

3) Lisa Murkowski has flipped and said she’d vote for the tax plan even with the repeal of the individual mandate, meaning there’s a much better chance the GOP tax plan will pass and it will gut Obamacare;

4) Donald Trump is railing about LaVar Ball on Twitter again this morning, and he is saying everything but the N-word, and it won’t hurt him in the least and LeVar Burton is being confused with LaVar Ball and getting shat upon on social media:

@levarburton You're a has been actor with a thief for a son and Trump is the president of the United States. Get the picture?
