Anyone else just fed up - sick - of everything about this misadministration.

I don't want to hear any more about lies, hypocrisy, spicerlies, trumplies, kushnernepotism, ivankawealthandvacuosity, asshole surrogates spinning and spitting, conjob, nuclear options, fake turtles calling the shots, eddie munster crapping all over everything, creepypence with his solo dining and sex issues - and on and on and on.

I don't want to hear any of it any more.

I.....just.....want....them....nailed for all of the shit they are pulling and somehow, removed from power so we can actually start undoing the real and psychological damage done to many in such a short amount of time.

(yes, yes, yes, I know, I know - it is just a fantasy that this could happen....the constitution and all...)

Resist.

and ENOUGH!

Not so now! Every moring is like, holy shit!

We must be vigilant. However, we have this robotic sociopath spitting out speedballs of world changing drama about every 5 minutes. Most of us here are sophisticated politically, but it is is an unbelievable challenge to even keep up w the big stuff. Imagine the average person, much less a Trumpster...there is no way in hell they could keep up. This is DTs M.O.

Exhausting. Please, can't he go, someway, somehow. Just go. Give us boring, RW, arch conservative, not believe in evolution, Pence. His policies are the same, but at least he will be slower.

I totally agree with you but I think it is more important than ever that we resist every way we can.

Hang in there.

Someone did a post the other day saying how important it is to go away when you have to and take care of yourself so you can come back and fight when someone else needs a break. I thought that was something everyone should read.

So go away from it. Take a break. And come back to it when you can. (Because I'm sure I'm going to need a break by then!)

What's insane is even though total destruction is staring them in the face, they just don't fucking care. Egos and "winning" trump logic.

At the end of each day, though, I find myself reading in disbelief regarding the current deplorable state of our government and this administration's total lack of concern for the public good.

It was a struggle to get it back, with the surprise upset, the treason of the EC, and DU being hacked and offline. However, I realize I bear absolutely no responsibility for this clusterfuck: I didn't cause any of it and nobody can force me to fix any of it when it all blows up in their piggy faces. Oh, I'll pitch in, but only when they swear off politics and go back to Monday quarterbacking instead of listening to Limbag and watching Pox.

So I changed my avatar from Buddhist (recycling, get it?) to popcorn, because I intend to eat a of it while I enjoy smug expressions turn to sheer horror and enjoy the silence as ranters finally shut the fuck up.

It's already starting, his approval rating going down to what Stupid had when he left, just the worst of the hateful religious crazies still clinging to the fantasy that they've found a fat, orange Second Coming.

Now if you'll excuse me, I forgot to eat today and there's corn to pop.

I hate all of the jerks who worked so hard to normalize him.

Top of that list is Jimmy Fallon. I cannot describe how much I despise Fallon's "oh isn't he a normal guy" bullshit. I meet people who voted for Trump (none are really supporters and most of them regret it already) and none of them know who Comey is but they all know Fallon. Fallon made Trump seem like a strange but regular guy, somebody who would probably do some bad things but is perfectly reasonable to have the nuclear codes.

There are probably others that piss me off but Fallon is at the top of the list.

What is so interesting is a) how many people are really pissed off b) who or what really pisses them off.

The story that pisses me off the most was one that no one talked about:

Trump wanting to put together a lynch mob for the Central Park 5

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-central-park-five_us_57f7ceafe4b0e655eab3c002

Nobody else seems to care but I can hardly sleep at night thinking about how many innocent people are going to lose their lives because of this narcissistic ass and Fallon just thinks he is hilarious.



I would love to send Fallon back to Phnom Penh in a time machine to see what a swell guy Pol Pot was.

I feel like I'm at a point where I've heard all I need to hear about the Russian ties and the rest of the corruption. I no longer revel in the next story about yet another meeting with a Russian being uncovered or whatever. What is the point in learning about yet another deplorable thing Trump said about women or tweeted about Hillary if nobody can do anything to make him pay for it anyway? Let me know when the impeachment hearings begin. Otherwise, I'm just too tired. I should be hearing about what President Hillary Clinton is doing for Alzheimer research or climate change or advancing women in STEM. Instead, I wake up to the latest "fuck poor people" piece of legislation. Fuck this.

Even if Trump goes down, we're stuck with Pence/McConnell/Ryan & 33 red state governments. The damage they can do without Trump will be enormous.

constant 24/7 chaos (some of it deliberate to obscure and deflect the Russian angle, most of it just horrendous, inept managerial style) plus waking up to a new and disturbing nightmare every day. I'm not young anymore and this campaign, election and first 100 days are absolutely unprecedented and historical in my lifetime. And I mean unprecedented and historical in the scariest and most horrifying way possible. Time is running out before he starts a war somewhere and then we are truly screwed.
