does not affect me directly. It is still upsetting but I've faced so much worse. I do get happy when I see some of the GOP base waking up. There are good things happening too. Look at how quickly big CEOS are running away from O'Reilly. They obviously don't want to be included in the misogynistic alt right. Also the FBI is structuring a whole task force on Russian intervention in the US election. A majority of Americans now want to just restructure Obamacare now. We have to keep the good things that happen in mind too when dealing with bad things. That being said vibes to the USA.

One of these days I'm going to sprain a finger jabbing at the buttons so hard!

If I hadn't been busy today I would have called up the cable channels to ask them why the FUCK they are running Dolt45's rallies. They ran far too much of his crap during the campaign and now they are rewarding the shitgibbon with more air time.

I actually spent nearly two hours with no TV on at all. it was lovely.

I follow stuff with online news, DU and Daily Kos mostly. Can't stand the sight or sound of the bastards. Life is too short...

Today was just too much with their blaming Obama for that chemical attack in Syria and drumpf threatening N. Korea. Throw in Susan Rice and the nuclear option and I'm on overload. I can't keep track of any of that Russian connection stuff any more because it has gotten so damn complicated. Too many characters now and too many twists and turns.

Thanks for listening. I don't have any solutions.

How you were going to rub it in their faces yada yada yada.

I found that to be a sad thing to say, even though I thought we would win too. However, I was nervous because of the unexpected response we were hearing about the shitgibbon's candidacy. There was more support than I expected.

I remember thinking "don't jinx it" with your over the top posts. And I thought it very unattractive, to say the least. We shouldn't act like them.

At any rate, you made a mistake.

I hope you regret it. I was afraid you'd make us look like fools...well, here we are...

to be throwing flames and casting blame on other DUers, at least, not in front of God and everybody. Couldn't you have had this conversation in private or offline? We're all on the same team here and now more than ever we need to stick together and be respectful. "Go high." as Hillary encouraged us to do?
