How many times can you say that this isn't funny anymore?

Russian fighters crossing swords with a US warship.
Russian spy ship just 30 miles off the coast of Groton, CT.
Russian stealth missiles developed and deployed secretly in Russia.
SecDef Mattis threatens less commitment to NATO.
Front pages in the US - Russia, Russia, Russia, and for good measure, Russia.
More than 10 cabinet positions unfilled.
The president - any president - has close to 700 "political" appointments available to him in the WH - and thousands more throughout the government. As of late January, he had filled fewer than 50 of those 700, and I don't think many throughout the government (these are the schedule C appointees you always hear about.

I'll say it. This isn't funny anymore.

and it hasn't been funny since last summer when this asshole won the Republican primary. I can't speak for anybody else but the abject horror of this man being president made me, and mine(yea I know), sick. I mean literally pain in the stomach unable to get out of bed the world is going to end sick. Laughing and poking a little fun at this insanity while protesting and contacting representatives and everything else is a release valve. Just a way to keep from losing my mind to the sheer insanity of what's unfolding.

Russia wants to make known they had a deal.

And stateside, we want it known there was a deal that was made.

Oh, Donald, heavy is the head....
