I will need to stay off DU for a few days.

[NCDem47]

I did that when Kennedy announced his retirement. SC news is just too much for me to bear. Real life or death stuff. Not putting my head in the sand, but the discourse on this will be just too much for me to handle. Need to watch my mental health. I mean it. Will be back in a few days. Ugh.

1. If Murkowsky is being honest and we can pull in Romney then the republic can be saved

[leftieNanner]

10. Wouldn't it take three?

To get it to 50-50?

Because Pence doesn't get to break a tie.

[Gothmog]

12. It takes four votes

[Tercules]

18. What did Murkowski say?

I thought her vote against Kavanaugh was that his defense against the sexual assault allegations were not believable. Has she said anything about voting in an election year, or in regards to the RGB death specifically?

[uponit7771]

20. She claimed at one time that she would not vote for a justice before Jan 20th. we'll see.

[cilla4progress]

2. I will be off TV

news tonight.

I'm like you.

[Baltimike]

25. same. nt

[tinrobot]

3. Agreed. This is too distressing.

[TwilightZone]

4. Good idea.

I mean that sincerely. This is going to be a pretty messy place for some time.

[LiberalLoner]

5. I'm so sorry. I understand.

[llmart]

22. You may have this poster confused with another poster from NC.

n/t

[LiberalLoner]

23. Yikes! Thanks.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. The predictions of doom are extremely annoying.

[uponit7771]

13. So will the Trump pick deciding the election ... WHEN ... he takes it to the SC. I wish people would

...stop giving these openly and overtly evil fucks the benefit of the doubt.

[Karadeniz]

7. See you later, tater!❤

[demtenjeep]

8. we have felt that way since bush the dummy stole 2000

but this might be the final blow

[Gothmog]

9. Control of the SCOTUS and the courts was on the ballot in 2016

I may need to stay off the boards. I have strong feelings about the third parties and others who helped elect trump

[LiberalLoner]

24. I hear you.

[2naSalit]

11. Take care of yourself...

Many blows will be dealt but we're almost there and we need all of us to get to the finish line!

Feeling a bit queasy myself but I can't look away.

[RhodeIslandOne]

14. I hear you

I do not want to look at anything political for days. We're fucked. It's like waiting for the asteroid to hit.

[Miigwech]

28. Yes I understand how you feel

RBG is dead. How we loved her and always will ... a blessed memory she will always be. But we are not yet fucked until we are finally fucked and that ain't gonna happen because when one of us gets a little tired someone else will carry the load. Take a well need break. trump is going to use her death like a political bitcoin over the next few weeks and it will be ugly. He ain't gonna succeed. Time is up for the orange lipo fat sucker.

[AngryOldDem]

15. Don't blame you.

I am barely holding it together right now.

I’ve been able to weather this perfect storm of shit since March, but it’s getting to be too much. Today was a tipping point. I laid down for some rest and woke up to...this.

I just want to go away from it all and not look back.

Take care and know you are not alone.

[crickets]

16. Smart. It will be easier after things have calmed down in a few days. 🌻

[mahina]

17. I read you completely. Take good care of yourself.

[stillcool]

19. you be good to yourself..

and have a nice respite.

[Alex4Martinez]

21. Yup. I already see finger pointing among our own, which is a really disappointing thing to see.

Finding fault in your brother or sister of the same party persuasion over the 2016 primaries gets us nowhere good, and soon.

I may join you in a break.

[mvd]

26. Completely understandable

So many emotions being felt right now. I may take my own break.

[dixiegrrrrl]

27. Congrats on wiseky taking care of yourself

Losing internet for a couple days down here was a blessing in disguise.

Now I'm gonna take the weekend off also, 'cause it does all get too much sometimes indeed.

[Gothmog]

29. Hillary tried to warn us

[Lady Freedom Returns]

30. I totally understand.

I'll be stocking around DU to keep my sanity.
