There were tragedies during President Obama's term, and no shortage of mass shootings.

But I never felt that we were one stupid move away from complete disaster, and I didn't find myself saying ...

"How the fuck did we get here?" every time I read a news article.

I took it for granted how comforting it was to know there was an adult in the White House.

Getting out the vote! Voter turnout is horrid in this country. There needs to be a 50 state strategy of getting people to register and show up at the polls. There need to be efforts to make voting day on Saturday or Sunday, not Tuesday.

into every aspect of our lives in the worst way possible.

It's time to flush the toilet on Trump and the entire freakshow that supports and enables him.

I have yet to see Trump show any emotion. I saw tears in President Obama's eyes, I saw the hurt, anger and frustration on his face every time there was a mass shooting. Trump is a disturbed man devoid of any kind of emotion.

In Texas he bragged about the crowd that came out to see him, in Florida to bragged about the size of the hurricane and told them to have fun, and in Puerto Rico he tossed rolls of paper tolls to people with no running water. All he knows how to do is troll and torment people.
