It's always darkest before the dawn. We need to get to rock bottom first.

And by "we" I don't mean to include any of you losers.

On 2 December 1956, 82 men landed in Cuba, having sailed in the boat Granma from Tuxpan, Veracruz, ready to organize and lead a revolution. The early signs were not good for the movement. They landed in daylight, were attacked by the Cuban Air Force, and suffered numerous casualties. The landing party was split into two and wandered lost for two days, most of their supplies abandoned where they landed. They were also betrayed by their peasant guide in an ambush, which killed more of those who had landed. Batista mistakenly announced Fidel Castro's death at this point. Of the 82 who sailed aboard the Granma, only 12 eventually regrouped in the Sierra Maestra mountain range.

Twelve dudes in the Sierra Maestra. That's when Castro's Cuban Revolution reached rock bottom.

That's the only sort of thing you say that I take to represent your true belief and attitude. All the rest is just shtick.

Pretty much.

Hillary Clinton was a losing bet.

In more ways than one.

So I take it it's your intent to punish us forever 'for supporting Hillary over Trump.'

But even that is BS. That's not the real reason why.

Of course not.

It's payback for all the transgressions that have been committed against me ever since I refused to jump on the Hillary bandwagon.

There must be an atonement. A sincere 3-5,000 word essay of apology from each offender would be a good start. Bobabode and Icenine should submit theirs first as they have been the worst offender. If their submissions are satisfactory I might consider granting amnesty to the remaining offenders.

It's 'payback' for other stuff, that we didn't even do, and you are not entitled to shit.

I'm shedding crocodile tears for this board's biggest and most obnoxious blowhard. Does that soothe your ire?
