And that - is the hell which is my political life.

I swear I've never detested a President. Not of any party. Bill Clinton. Barack Obama. I can write full essays on things I like about them.

Harris - has just always been on my vomit list. And now here I am - I lost a President I liked in Biden - and THIS is what runs in his place. And the saddest part? She's better for me than Trump.


1.)Affordable Care Act. Being retired in my 40s - ACA is how I get to buy health insurance. So the access is important and when Trump and Repubs talk "repeal" it gives me willies even though that talk has quieted down. Even if Trump and GOP control it all I hold hope that they wouldn't screw millions of red state voters but who knows.

Also the subsidy - is my fun money :) It usually pays for one extra vacation per year and I so love milking you people for money.



2.)Higher refundable child tax credit. I don't get to milk it now but if she bumped the refundable amount I'd probably W-2 myself, pocket the child credits, and then - ironically 401K the remaining money. Again - I can milk you people and I love it.


3.)Renters Tax credit. Yes, a sop to the Chipotle Kids whose American Dream is "Me and my son's Father paid our bills this month"....BUT as someone who depends on rental income quite a bit - people who rent my homes having a few extra bucks only means my rent is more secure. OR if large landlords just raise their rents to match the credit, well by golly that's ok with me too.



4.)Illegal Immigration: I like seeing your schools - especially in Blue areas drained. And one of my rental homes is in a blue area, and for years I've had steady renters who are as legal as I am thin. The County Housing Voucher program pretty much pays their rent---lol rarely do they actually need the money but hey, it's a steady paycheck for Daddy. Crime? Yeah it's a byproduct but my zip code is a place where I represent the ghetto faction. My neighbors are in new Rovers, Bentley, Bimmers, the usual crap. Our police department whines that teens took a shit in the park for fun, or stole the porte-potty somewhere. And most weeks a local family caters lunch to the police department (I still say mine was the best - I'm the best at food, period and I spare no expense on eating lol )

Population increase certainly clogs up hospitals and doctors offices but if one budgets and spends on priorities yo can steer around some of it. But any increased demand for housing is a benefit to me I feel. Thanks to depreciation I pay ZERO taxes on that income so again, you people deservedly get the punishment, I deservedly get the reward.



5.)As someone with kids- while our district is great and more than funded, any extra money to schools, special ed, even state colleges can't hurt me. If I need to utilize any of it frankly, it's a transfer of wealth from young cat-ladies - TO ME.


So bottom line - Harris benefits me more than Trump does.

And sadly - I can't even bring myself to go to vote now and I wish I didn't know about this election at all.


Between now and Inauguration Day I'm ether gonna lose or gain 20 pounds.

This is why I never ever touched booze and never had a drop. I know no moderation and I tend to over-react.
