Daily, constantly, consistently, outrage piles upon outrage and
eventually numbness actually seems preferable to the raw anger and embarrassment that seems to be its only alternative. But, I am not conditioned to welcome numbness and so I am both angry and embarrassed that we have allowed---yes, we did---this evil amoral clown to come to power in our nation.
To make matters worse, I grew up in a neighborhood where, when you were threatened or attacked, you either fought back or were branded a coward; a doormat that any bully could wipe his feet on. If Trump---or Stone or Corsi or Giuliani or---the list goes on--- had grown up on my block, they'd have a lot fewer teeth. An old saying still resonates with me: " Stress is the confusion created when one’s mind overrides the body’s basic desire to choke the living shit out of some asshole who desperately deserves it."
I try watching less TV news, but even Rachel's one hour is often enough to spike my blood pressure and cause me to ask---loudly---"WHEN will the decent majority rise up and end this?" But, that is the only question I have. There is no need for any further questions about what needs doing. We just need to do whatever it takes to remove the stain of Trump from our government as quickly as possible and by whatever means necessary.
Yes, I expect the criticisms, but there it is. I need more sleep and less treason.
