OK...Got a couple shots in me, NOW I can actually watch Rachel...

I swear, it's gotten to the point that she's the only one I can handle and I still have to get a buzz on before I can deal with the newest clusterfuck that is our lives ...

Someday I figure they will do a study and find that alcohol (maybe some other drugs too) use went through the roof under this Orange bastard...

It'll be interesting one day to see the stats on that. But hey, watching a democracy getting beat up is hard on a person who loves it.

This is not a joke.

Started drinking heavily during the Bush years, damn near killed me. (though I can't place the blame on politics, but it sure didn't help.)

Had that demon off my back for going on 5 years, once I got rolling, it became a struggle to recover and emerge alive.

I find I cope better, see issues more clearly, make far fewer mistakes, and fight much more effectively - unimpaired.

... it's like a fucking trainwreck that could pull us all down in so many ways...And I watch with hope for our Constitution, BUT I also understand the feeling of hopelessness that makes me want to tune out.

Meanwhile my teens talk about their strategies for survival in a dystopia like its a real possibility...so yeah
