at 9 this morning. I'd rather watch episode after episode of those old shows I've already seen than to listen to Trump.
In fact I'm sick of political reporting altogether.

pie ... I remain sane, but knowing that in the background there is an insane person posing as the president is a constant thorn in my side!

listening to it but I feel a sense of duty to keep track of what we are up against... if we don't get it together, we lose everything we love about the United States... I have no idea what we eventually do, but we better move fast and furious

I was a political junkie at one time. Had the news on all the time. Now the news never changes. The Idiot stammers and flat foots on just as he has done since the ride down the escalator. People cluck and duck about how awful he is and then everything continues as usual. I had no idea we were so powerless when faced with an idiot. I am watching reruns of Star Trek, Deep Space Nine. At least there was some integrity and truthfulness in their actions. I don’t know if I care anymore. I will vote for our nominee but so far we are keystone copping it.

I don't know how the cult members can stomach it.

Has he passed out Medals of Freedom to the room yet?

I was listening to my local npr in the car. Could not stand it more than 3 minutes. Listening to jazz now. He is truly certifiable.

I tell myself I should ... you know, know your enemy. I tried today again ... and switched off after 30 seconds. I think I know enough by now!

I mostly rely on DU posts and video clips to find out the most relevant things. What a time.

Desiderata.

"Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit."

There are some wonderful thoughts in that poem. I often recommend it because it is not religious in theme, but respects the place of religion in many people's minds.
