Everything the GOP does is carefully crafted to make us depressed

Depression saps our will, makes it easy for others to impose on us, makes it difficult for us to resist and rebel.

There is no "depression" except those who buy the bullshit from the M$M. Most people don't sit and watch CNN or M$NBC all day except political junkies and most people are not that. People are fired up and ready to go.

We have no control over what Mueller does. It may lead to twitler's ouster or it may not lead to anything.

You know what we have control over? Voting. Stay connected, stay active.

It was depressing watching even MSNBC last night. It zapped my energy listening to right wing guests blame the Dems and saying that we're choosing the undocumented over US citizens. Fuck them.
