24. I'm just so sad and tired.

Jul 2017

EVERY freaking DAY he does another outrageous thing. I call my reps daily now---aren't they tired too?? When will they stand up to him? When will the Republicans call for impeachment?

Why isn't the media screaming about the Russian weapons that the Taliban has?? How can any Republican justify Trump's cozy relationship with Russia?

Why do all the stupid people still support him and believe his lies?

As I read over these words--I remember my hopes early in the year--I hope that I can be as strong and brave as those that came before me.
