Im counting the days til November but until then there seems to be a lot of bad shit going on. Ghouliani, Trump, Jim Jordan, Nunes, etc ets. There are a lot of evil people dominating the news. Its hard to take.

(10,565 posts)i still believe that the majority of Americans will reject Trump again only this time he will lose some of those states the Russians helped him win. I especially have faith in American women to send Trump packing.

(7,725 posts)correct. Desensitizing us and exhausting us all at once. WE are the worlds leaders as a people. WE cannot fold from exhaustion. WE have to save the country again. This time, WE need to get angry and keep it. I'm not up to going through this now, let alone ever again.
What's next? Ted nugent taking Pruitts spot?

The pundits are still analyzing Trump ad tedium and Im way beyond that and I know they know better. The truth is out there and everyone knows what it is. Its gotten boringly irritation to hear shit and lie after lie from the Republicans being repeated as if they arent full of shit.
I watch Chris Hayes, Rachel, and Lawrence ODonnell because theyve moved beyond pretending the words spewed by Trump are anything but self serving lies. They have respect for their audiences. Chris Hayes was the first to interview reporters about the children being caged and to his credit he kept at it every day until the rest of the media ran with it and it was obvious the stories horrified him. He has two or thee little kids and it seemed he truly felt the pain of the parents. He went to the detention centers too, as did Lawrence. Rachel choked up reading the first news reports about the children being caged and couldnt finish. The three of them have no use for pretending Trump is anything but what he is.
But even then its become too painful to watch the news as much. My viewing time has gone way down. I mostly come to DU because I know Ill get the truth here and because I feel confident I can express myself so I post a lot. Its a life saving and life giving community here. Posting this to you is an example. Thanks for giving me the opportunity.
