Not only can we do it, we’ve done it before.

We will accomplish the impossible again.

a sick Clarence Thomas and his wife's up-to-her eyeballs involvement in the January 6 insurrection and her Mark Meadows overthrow the election email exchange is not bad news...and you can bet there's more to come...

take joy in the the probability that Mitch is peeing his pants, terrified Clarence Thomas will die or retire, Biden nominates another justice, and Mitch's forever neocon USSC goes down the proverbial toilet...see, upside!

Clarence is 73 years old, his viper of a wife is heavily involved in two monumental national travesties...the insurrection and overturning the election...I'm 73 and trust me, there's just so much shit an oldie can take before we say enough...and you can bet there's more Ginni shit out there!

The guy pretty much is mute and does nothing but whatever Alito (previously Scalia) tells him. He could Weekend At Bernies until his corpse stinks out the joint.

and I don’t mean sexually…he’s on display…his PR people can hide his condition/his dead body but with 24/7 news, social media, and cell phone cameras you can bet we’ll get the info sooner than later..nothing stays hidden, not anymore…

But the only thing that makes this ignoring of Trump's crimes all irrelevant is the feeling we're gonna get nuked off the planet soon anyway.

Nothing has been done up to now and nothing will be done in the future.
Corruption by conservatives is admired and respected.
No one will allow that to be changed.

There is good news out there but you’d never know it from the “liberal” media. They thrive on blood, tragedy, fear and anger.

Unemployment continues to drop, economy is booming. GOP is imploding.

And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are in charge.

As terrible the hand they've been dealt, as terrible as their foe, they are rewriting the history everyone expected. They are showing the strength of belief in the concept of democracy and the weakness of an authoritarian state with a leader surrounded by yes men and corruption. Slava Ukraini!

Just checked and there isn't one today.

And safari crashed, rebooting the iPhone.

Twilight Zone moment? I hope not.

Every time the news gets unbearable, I try to add to my GOTV page:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216380145

And my Ukraine Relief page.

It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness. Except in a gas station.

We can make things better.

The weather is warmer and it’s time to figure out what veggies I’m going to grow this year. There was a wonderful sunset tonight.

Turn off the tv for awhile, get outside and enjoy the spring! There are good things; we just have to focus on them.

I hope you feel better…I know, it’s been a rough few years.

Make your own good news. Don't tell anyone what you did. Keep it in your heart. Search out Good News stories. There are many. It's easy to get down in the dumps with so many horrors going on right now. Give a little something back each day, it keeps me sane. ❤

Half hour morning news, half hour evening news, until you feel better. Saturate yourself with goodness. Goodness done by you and others. It will lift your spirits. Take care, and know you are loved and thought of. 💕
