You know what? FUCK POLITICS! I'm taking the weekend off. Who's with me?

[titaniumsalute]

I've been 100% glued to NPR, DU, MSNBC, CNN, Facebook, Twitter since the orange butt plug took the oath a few weeks back. I'm tired. I wake up at 6am and grab my phone to see what horse hockey happened overnight. What did the orange wonder Tweet overnight? What country did we offend now?

I'm done for the weekend. I'm turning my phone off after work, NO Cable news, NO Facebook or Twitter. Nothing. I'm going to hang with my family. Cook. Drink craft beer. Work out. Watch the Pro-AM Pebble Beach. Sleep. Walk the dog.

We need to rest up to keep fighting with vigor.

Have a great weekend DU Family!

1. I'm also glued, but...

I have also been 100% glued, but I can't break away, and definitely not this weekend...too much going on...the court ruling, Flynn's statement, CONway's misstatement about Ivanka, etc.....too much to miss!!

[titaniumsalute]

2. Meh. It will all be there Monday.

I need a break.

[Blanks]

3. I don't know about the WHOLE weekend...

But this yuuge Trump setback in the courts, helps me relax a bit.

[madokie]

7. I got the best night of sleep last night

since the orange butt plug was s-elected

[Blanks]

10. I hear ya...

The first GOOD political news since November.

[Sherman A1]

4. Agreed

I will be busy today and tomorrow in any event, so it's perhaps time to come up for air.

[Stellar]

5. Keeping my eyes on BLOTUS 45 until they drag him out....

..In a straight jacket or hand-cuffs...whichever comes first.

[Freedomofspeech]

6. I was just thinking the same thing...

This 24/7 obsession has really taken me down. It's like watching a train wreck...you can't look away.

8. I'm with you

I've got a new camera coming, also lesson planning and grading to do, plus I'm going to get an eye exam tomorrow.

Politics will be here Monday.

[The Blue Flower]

9. No worries

We'll be here when you get back. I take daily breaks, but I won't be done until he's gone and his damage is undone.

[bdamomma]

11. I find myself just being

here and going through the headlines, and giving donations to any organization that will fight against 45 whenever I can.

But stepping away is good for your mental health.

[Kber]

12. I understand

But this weekend I'm helping coordinate a letter writing campaign in support of Planned Parenthood.

So maybe next weekend.

[True Dough]

13. Do what's best for you

But I'm still in rubber-necking mode. Can't stop gazing at this train wreck!

[phylny]

14. I'm joining our daughters for wedding dress shopping for

our middle one.

It'll be joyful in spite of this horror show of a government.

[CTyankee]

15. We had a shit load of snow yesterday and are struggling with that...

but I hear you. I was trying to watch Morning Joe today and was feeling disgusted with politics. Mostly, I feel helpless. Even tho Trump is screwing up big time, unless he is impeached or quits he is there in our lives for 4 years. Elizabeth Warren bucked me up and so did Melissa McCarthy's brutal impersonation of Spicer. Stephen Colbert has been brilliant so I am happy to watch him. And tomorrow we have SNL so that's a bright spot...

[Staph]

16. I'm with you, mostly.

But I gotta watch Saturday Night Live this weekend -- it's going to be epic!

[titaniumsalute]

17. Well yes

I won't miss that!

[tosh]

18. I'm with you!

Beautiful but freaky springtime weather here all weekend.

I'll be prepping new veggie garden beds!
