It would sure simplify things if all primaries were on the same day. If more and more move to Super Tuesday it might come to that.

11. Ugh, I'm in such a state I can't think or express myself clearly.

My point was/is that I feel the Democrats in Congress are taking their coastal/urban base for granted and are afraid to do their real job of defending the rule of law for fear of alienating certain other voters.

Meanwhile my head is feeling kind of hot so maybe I’ll just mosey on over to Home Depot to buy a fire extinguisher.

In other words, impeach—are you listening Madame Speaker?

Keep fighting. We all have to keep fighting. We will not survive a second term of this evil manchild. We are in the fight of our lives now.

I believe he will have to leave if he loses. And we have a chance to capture the down ballot votes for the House and Senate too.

4. Well now, calm yourself down.

Rage and anger will not save the day. The energy of rage and anger can be converted into useful joyful and enthusiastic perseverance of benevolent outcomes. We are much more effective, when we can calm down, think clearly, and decide what positive actions that we can take to make things better. Think about joining someone's campaign to knock on doors, register voters, be a poll worker, etc.

We were invaded by 45 this past week and I’m ready to chew carpet tacks.

This is one “lib” who WILL NOT BE “owned.”

10. Think about focusing your rage on republicans, who will not budge on this mob in the WH.

They're all in on it too. It's their last gasp at power and they're willing to do anything ANYTHING to remain in power for their corporate masters.

So use that rage, but focus it on the assholes who are making this all possible, CONSERVATIVES!

14. The whistle blower campaign is in murky legal territory

According this an article I just read. Congress is a group of elected lawmakers. They made the laws that put them in this position right now.

The only thing I’m fairly positive will happen at this point is that Trump will finish out his presidency. hopefully lose his re-election bid but will be hounded but legal action and their consequences for the rest of his life.
