The losses are wearing me down-I feel like we are bereft of leadership- our elected Democrats are impotent- my hopes for retaking Congress now seem to be a foolish dream. There has got to be more to life than being obsessed with this shit the way I am now. I'm generally a positive person but I'm having trouble finding a positive vision. So even if Trump gets busted for who knows what- how will that change anything? As long as the Repugs call the shots nothing will change. It's very depressing. Sorry to vomit.

Remember, it's Georgia. Not California, New York, Massachusetts, etc.
You live in Nashville? Get out and do something fun. Museums, Sounds games, good music venue, go for a walk at radnor. A break will do you good. We all need one sometimes.
