Remember when you were a kid and your parents always warned you to be “a safe distance” away when they were setting off fireworks? It was a good idea then, and it’s a good idea now. As DJT is about to be sworn in as President again, it’s not unreasonable to think of him as a firework. If he performs as advertised there will be an earth shattering kaboom!

I mean sure, maybe he’s going to be a dud, but what if he actually goes off? Will there be squads of heavily armed men going door to door with battering rams and Pantone paint chips to look for “illegal immigrants”? Will he be starting a two front war with Greenland and Panama? Will he be issuing arrest warrants for anyone that expressed displeasure about him on social media?

And if he does go off in a spectacular explosion of phosphorus will there be ancillary fires set in the tinderbox that is our current political climate? What will the Proud Boys or the KKK do now that they know he will pardon anyone as long as they attack his perceived enemies?

I don’t know what’s going to happen. Given his capricious nature I don’t think HE knows what will happen. My stress levels were going through the roof and then I remembered – “a safe distance”. So I’m sitting this one out for a few months to see what happens from the safe distance of Canada. Sure it’s cold as hell up here but I felt myself relax as soon as I cleared the border. I hope this will have proved to be unnecessary, but in the meantime I’m happy where I am – at least until he tries to annex Canada too.

Good luck to you all.
