The people use to say, Yes we can. Now the people say,

[shockey80]

We can't do that, he, she, I, can't do that, it's against the rules, the law. If we did that we could get hurt. It is too risky to do that. That's what the people say when it comes to Trump. That's what the people say as he breaks every law we have , violates the constitution and kills us.

As the people say this, Trump says, Yes I can.

1. Mostly what I say now is just go ahead and kill me now.

I don't know how much longer I can endure Trump and all of this stupid ass supporters.

We went from Obama to Trump.

Let that sink in for a minute.

That is a mighty FAR fall.

It's worse than being told you can win the car on Let's Make a Deal, then winning a fucking goat instead. At least a goat can "mow" the grass and, maybe make milk to drink, if it is female. That's more useful than Trump. Anything is more useful than Trump. A box of rocks is more useful than Trump. Every new Republican they bring up, and these idiots around me vote for, is worse than the last one.

I have long since quit asking how much worse can each new Republican I hear about be. I cannot even fathom anything worse than the current Republican, but then they sink lower and bring out something even filthier and more corrupt and more stupid than the last one. There is no low low enough to accommodate their depravity.

3. I've been feeling that too.

I was speaking with a friend of mine in Utah. She's 61 and I'm 56. We were both agreeing we're glad we're not 18. That we're closer to then end than the beginning.

4. In my lifetime, there have only been 3 Democratic presidents.

There have been 6 Republican presidents. I cannot help but feel like I was born in the wrong era or America is never going to change for the better. I'm thinking America is never going to change for the better. If in almost half a century, it can only manage 3 Democrats to 6 Republicans.....it is never going to change for the better.

2. I've been saying that for years. We're a nation of cringing cowards.

We used to be the can-do nation. We can do it. Help out our friends in two world wars? Can-do. Send men to the moon and bring them back safely? Can-do.

Now anytime we need to do something extraordinary on a national level, the response is "It's too hard", or "It's too expensive" or, absolutely the last thing that should come out of the mouth of someone who wants his country to do great things: "It ain't comin' outta MY taxes..."

It's no wonder the rest of the world is leaving us behind...
