I'm still angry.

I was going to put up some comparison of GWB's "Mission Accomplished" speech on the aircraft carrier, where they declared victory before victory had been achieved, and the Iraq War dragged on and on and on, to how it felt like the A's first round victory was a championship in itself, and how the early 3-0 lead in Game 1 of the ALDS felt like with their best pitcher on the mound and a fresh bullpen that they'd win this round as well, but then it all fell apart, to how Donald Trump just declared victory over the coronavirus and marched masklessly triumphantly into the White House as if he had conquered the disease all by himself with his pure force of Fascist willpower, when he's clearly still sick and not out of the woods at all, and he's just making it worse for everyone else by declaring it so, but to hell with that. I can't do this.

Because I'm angry. Still angry. More angry. Too angry.
