Dec 2016

Politics has been my "hobby" forever and even more so since the Internet. But this is sooo hard to watch!

I remember Obama's first inauguration. Sitting with my daughters and young grandson. How happy we all were! And so proud!

Perhaps out of curiosity I will watch until the moment when Obama is symbolically no longer the president.

I am still having a hard time with this whole thing! When I wake up in the morning, I lay there thinking about what I have planned for today. Then the thought of tRump being president crosses my mind and i am wide awake. But then I don't want to get out of bed!!!

I am looking forward to the protests! I know they will be there. And tRump does too, that is why he is suggesting this helicopter stunt!

Tacky frat boy at the helm!!!! Hard to feel peaceful, but I will do it for myself and my family!
