Every day I have to keep it in check, but I can't help feeling dissappointment and anger

at the decisions of Obama, Biden, and others that were in power when they found out about the Russians trying to compromise out election. They knew right from wrong, they knew the Russians were beating at the doors of our Democracy with a ramrod, and they knew the kind of guy Trump was, and they failed to stand up for what was right for America and for the Constitution. Despite McConnell's threats, they should have told the public what was happening and let the chips fall where they may. It was the truth, and it should have been revealed to the people. I doubt that it could have been any worse than what is going on now or what went on before (taking hostage of the Supreme Court seat, etc.). At least they (Obama, Biden, et al) could have retired with a clear conscience that they did what they could to sound the sirens.

I wonder if they feel like kicking themselves seven ways to Sunday every time they pick up a paper or watch the news when they see what is happening and witness the dismantling of everything they did for us.

Feeling totally frustrated with the speed of the investigation and the lack of any integrity or morals at all across the aisle. Hoping that the light of liberty isn't permanently extinguished by these cretins in power and can grow again before all is said and done. Wondering how many generations it will take to set America back on course again.

could not imagine Trump winning.

At this point, it's just not worth blaming Obama, Clinton, etc., for this. Heck, I'm not even that angry with Trump because it was the damn ignorant white wing voters who elected him and the GOPers in Congress. Without those deplorable voters, we wouldn't be here.
