my hands are shaking

I am very scared that someone is going to try to assassinate him. I don't know if I will be able to exhale, until January 20th.

Shit!

You know, I didn't even think of that when I posted that quote?

Which is kind of fucked up now that I think about it. I was just thinking that he shares a first name with a man who just finished running a horrid, and thankfully failed, race-baiting hate-filled, fear-mongering campaign.

Fuck.

Now I'm gonna be worried about him until 2016.

We got a much better secret service now than we did then, though.

Plus, if they were gonna do it, the only time it would have done them any good was before now.

I hope its better, since we didnt HAVE a secret service back then. Remember it was Grant who hired the pinkertons (private company) to protect him, which eventually became the secret service.

I think we may find a few foiled plans before anything is put into action, but thats it.

I think we can exhale on Jan 20th, cause if someone did something before then, then Bush could use the ensuing riots to declare Martial Law, and himself King. After then would Martyr him and unite us under President Biden.
