When you find yourself getting pissed, do what's necessary to calm your mind down. That's why I tune in my classical music radio station. We are so much more effective, when we are calm and focused on electing Dems. Don't give your power away to that degenerate criminal.

In Buddhism, it's called "mirror-like wisdom." No matter what comes before a mirror, it never gets upset. It simply continues to reflect with clarity what comes before it. Remaining calm enables us to clearly make consciously moral choices. Anger obstructs our ability to do that. Hope this helps.

I am watching old comedies from the 1930's and 40's which is pure escapism for me. It's not exactly spiritual, but it calms me down and takes me away from the present mess we are in.

rather than the economy simply running the course. When the crash comes, I'm sure he'll accept no part of the blame.

that people will believe this.

There is not a single Democrat out there that will get enough airtime to make a concerted response to point out that it's just a continuation of the strong Obama economy helped by an unpaid for $1.5 trillion stimulus borrowed from our children and grandchildren and that items like inflation, decreasing wages and rising gas prices and healthcare costs mean the economy will run into serious headwinds soon.

He looks like he's ready to jump trump's bones any second.

Sickening. I'm almost embarrassed for him...almost.

he has skinned it and is now parading around on TV in fresh horse hide, figuratively.

the new 4% economy growth is only good thing Trump can point at now as everything else in his 'emotional life' is crashing down around his feet.

Politics can be all about power so get ready for something from the Dems or DOJ that will take that power back from Trump before 7pm tonight.
