Calgon take me away

Someone wake me when this nightmare we are livng is over.

For real, the sheer amount of the shitstains shit is never ending.

I can’t even remember a quarter of it. His misdeeds are on a massive scale and are far reaching no sane person can possibly keep up. Maybe that is a feature by design.

Any ways I feel myself withdrawing from it all. I fight with myself to stay engaged and helpful in any way I can.

I, we (if anyone has the same feelings), must continue to resist. No hiding our heads in the sand. No matter how fucking intrusive this prick has become in our lives.

Give me a pick me up. I think we all need one from time to time.

Fundamentally, Trump's base is full of really horrible people. I think we have to acknowledge that.

However, they accomplished very little legislatively while they had power. And once we take the White House we can reverse the "executive order" type stuff fairly quickly. I know, lots of people have been harmed irreparably. But all we can do is go forward.

We took the House, so their agenda is stopped. And we can fight back. AND the Trump clan is in serious legal trouble.

I fluxuate between shadenfreude, glee, angst, and terror weekly

Sometimes I will go days without watching Rachel, some weeks I am glued every night. I don't watch any other news, thank god...I could not take the 24/7 onslaught that is our collective nightmare.

I had a good friend and news buddy pass away only days after the election, freak heart attack....I find myself missing his words of wisdom often...and I am pissed because he was able to get the hell out of here before the shit really hit the fan.

I don't know when we will get our reprieve and finally see the rebuilding of our nation. I fear there may be some "Paris moments" coming in the meantime.



we're all in this together, stay hydrated and safe!

I just want him to go away. I was on a plane for 12 hours. So nice to not read or hear any of his crap. And people say turn him off but you can’t because it feels like we’re living in crazy town.
