I guess I have reached the point where I say "I'M DONE!" [View all]

Between Smith dropping the case, Marchan dropping the ball, Mueller, Garland, Militias and the weak post election response by my fellow Democrats, I am done.

I am of an age, and of a physical condition where I can do little but watch things happen n the outside world anyway, so, Iguess I'll just sit here and watch the train wreck in slow motion.
