10. I'm in a rural setting, but I think even the elk would bugle and the fish would be splashing.

6. I check to see if we have started a war, or become an out and out theocracy.

45 will remain president until the dems control both the house and senate, or he dies of a massive heart attack.

I log into DU or turn on the TV each morning, hoping against hope that he's gone. Carted off in restraints, dead, arrested, resigned in a fit of pique, I don't care how; just gone. Then, having been slapped in the face once again with the terrible reality that he's still squatting in the White House, I check to see what fresh hell he's visited on us since I last checked. It's wearing me out.

I am an optimist by nature (and still retain a hint of optimism during these dark times), so one day soon I hope to be rewarded when bleary eyed I check the news before even a first sip of coffee.

have I been so anxious and fearful whenever the cable station I'm watching blinks out or an Emergency System test comes up.

I can hardly stand watching CNN since virtually everything comes up under "Breaking News" - it's like a permanent trigger!

This is what we got November 2016. Anxiety and fear. Fuck you, you deplorable shits.

But I’m beginning to think that won’t happen only because it would mean more meetings for him, and less golf time.

I check it religiously every morning. And about every 15 minutes thereafter.

appears. I wonder if he had a massive snit fit and stroked out? Launched a nuclear attack on “whoever” he is pissed off at? Been shot point blank by a disgruntled tRump supporter who finally figured out he ain’t gonna do a damn thing he promised them he would? Embarrassed the US of A once again with his impromptu remarks or tweets? Insulted visitors to the White House while using them as a backdrop for some ill conceived Executive Order? Acted like an arrogant fool while representing US in a foreign country?

Take your pick. Same song. Different day with this Wanna Bee Tin Pot dictator.

He has just about worn me out with his games and foolishness. But I know I am not the only one. I think that was/is his game plan (if you can call it that) all along. Just wear us all down to a nub so we throw up our hands and give up.

Only one fly in the ointment for him. Some of us are stubborn cusses and we will. Never. Give. Up. Or. Give. In. NEVER. I will live for the day that he gets what is coming to his sorry ass.
