Feeling demoralized

Echhh. Having as a president a lying misogynistic racist scumbag gets to me on a personal level. I think I have spent extra time with my substances of choice to get through this. Need to replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones.

It's just all so ugly and vulgar.

Just sharing.

or harming yourself, saves republicans the trouble.

I figured this thing out. It's important that we do what's right and smart.

Somebody has to keep things running.

He makes us all feel like we can't shower enough to get the trumpy stench off.
Grab some chocolate and come vent, you will feel much better.

It'll help you take your mind off the orange menace for a while and it's healthy!

Normally it is a part of my lifestyle. But I find it's a bit of a roller coaster and I'm on a downhill slide today. I keep hoping and thinking I will wake up to the perp walk of my dreams (hint: it involves a lot of orange). When it doesn't happen, I backslide a little.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I thought we were better than this. It's depressing to see how far we have to go but.. we will get there. It's just frustrating when there are those that don't get it and want to drag us backwards. Hang in there, we will prevail. PS yoga is good as is frozen yogurt.

With that enemy also installing his party in Congress, there is nothing you can do about it but watch the spectacle as he bluffs and blusters and slowly the realization dawns that he's no longer fooling anyone but people who are so stupid they have to be watered.

All we can do is keep pressure up on on Congress critters to make sure his most egregous proposals stay stalled. Let the bastards know we're watching them and we vote. Most of them want to keep their jobs, cushiest jobs they've ever had and a good way to get rich.

And relax while yoiu watch them struggle to come up with rationalizations to keep the mobster in the presidency. That is going to be entertaining.
