Day 743 Saturday January 19, 2019 848 Days to Go
Rachel pointed out that on January 17th we were at the two year anniversary of Trump’s presidency. It was on January 17, 2017 that he was sworn into office. That should mean, I concluded, that we should be halfway through this nightmare, but according to my countdown we are not. This calls into question my ability to count, either up or down. Maybe, I forgot to subtract a one from the hundredth’s place? I certainly hope so. It also makes me revisit my thinking as to what I was thinking when I started the up/down counts. Naturally, I don’t remember. This recalculation review will have to wait for another day.
Rachel did ask what you were doing to celebrate Mr. Trump’s two year jubilee as she called it. She then went on to point out the week’s headlines leading up to the anniversary date. It is like a week of no other.
I think it instructive to review. This is where we are. Here are the headlines:

Well, okay.
So I ask you, as Rachel asked her audience,
“What are you doing to celebrate the two year jubilee?” (Of president Trump’s time in office.)
