So very discouraged

Can this country survive Trump, Nunes, McConnell, Morrison, Graham, that Republican rat-counsel with greasy hair?

I am looking for someone, a truth teller, who can be the chemo to our country’s cancer. Why have Republicans given up on the truth? It’s our ruin.

Is there any good news on the horizon?

The Democrats won off-year elections in 2017 and '19 and had a blue wave in 2018. Keep beating them at the ballot box and either they learn or go extinct.

I think it was Salon that had an article recently about how the Republican Party can't be sustained without lying, and that's certainly not a new reality.

We’re not alone. Human history is littered with them.

To paraphrase the old quote, “Some things I can change, some things I cannot and may God grant me the wisdom to tell the difference.”

Peace be with you.

and attempt to form a separate slavocracy resulting in a devastating armed conflict in which hundreds of thousands died. We endured.

So yeah, we can survive a two bit conman and his passel of grifters and yes-men. He ain’t shit.
