45. We are so quick to lose our gratitude

Fri Feb 7, 2020, 10:50 AM

Feb 2020

1. as activists we got out the vote for the 2018 and put a House together that impeached Trump.
2. rinse and repeat---install a Senate by putting forth the same effort and replace the Senators who voted against impeachment

You could only imagine how some of those felt during TWO-----yeah TWO terms of Barack Hussein Obama-----and remember that some of the same voters who voted for Obama also voted for for TRump---they will not this time-----

their is a sense of outrage and what is happening now will change----
We must fight the good fight-----and certainly not grant Trump's wishes by heading to despair------this is more a "make my day" than a "I surrender" ---
