I am just so fucking sick of just about everything

[boston bean]

Covid
American nazis
Big lie
Filibuster bullshit
Manchin
Sinema
Tester
Republinazis
White supremacists

We are truly frogs in a slow boiling pot.

And no one seeming to be able to turn this fucking stinking tide.

Still trying to keep a fighting spirit, but man this fucking country sucks right now.

[doc03]

1. You are not alone nt

[DENVERPOPS]

43. You and the author

are right on.!!!!!!!!!!!

Also,

Brian Williams is retiring tonight, his last nightly broadcast, and I went to DU for something about it.....

NOTHING that I can find about him on the main page.................Maybe I missed something?????????

[Solomon]

2. Righteous rant.

[Scottie Mom]

3. I hear you!!!

🤬🤯😡

[Meowmee]

4. Agree on all

This country murdered my beloved father. After he devoted his life here and his brilliant mind to research for the US and the world. I wish we never came here. I wish we had gone back years ago when he wanted to return to Canada. Certainly wish to hell I had sent him back immediately at the start of the pandemic. We should have left AS SOON AS THAT FUCKING FASCIST PSYCHO WAS INSTALLED IN OFFICE.

[harumph]

9. I'm sorry to hear that.

[Meowmee]

10. Thank you

[samplegirl]

5. It's truly

so depressing.

[Joinfortmill]

6. Yup. No doubt. Keep the faith.

[milestogo]

7. #metoo

#andmyfuckingjobtoo

[llashram]

8. it does suck

to be a decent compassionate Democrat (person) these days with attacks on us coming from many fronts. I just keep telling myself we will prevail against the evil forces of racist sexist hate. Led by an openly admitted sexual predator who is the leader of the racist sexist forces

[mountain grammy]

11. I truely and honestly will never understand

what the fuck is wrong with people.. like mass psychosis.

[Celerity]

20. It is hardly surprising when you look at the billions of humans who have wilfully suspended their

disbelief over the course of tens of thousands of years, a suspension that is utterly necessary in order to believe in a god or gods.

Magical thinking is hardly a base of rock upon which to build a house of clarity and discernment, then actualise that into reality-based, scientific-based logical decisions.

[Kaleva]

12. Climate change will distract you from all that soon enough.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. Right?

[dixiechiken1]

13. Nailed it.

I'm sick and tired of being so fucking sick and tired.

[bronxiteforever]

14. Me as well.

[Celerity]

15. K & R

[Grasswire2]

16. We outnumber them.

They fight to keep their ignorant old ways supreme.

But the world is changing.

And GOP is only 25 percent of the electorate.

And MAGATS are only 44 percent of that 25 percent.

Meaning that Trump's ignorant and hateful people are about 12 percent of America.

Keep the faith.

[GP6971]

21. You again?

Enjoy your very short stay.

[dchill]

24. What are you doing to please the lions, this day?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

45. Invoking Sekhmet

To destroy tyrants ,dark triads and republicans.

[smirkymonkey]

17. I'm with you.

I'm really finding it difficult to keep my spirits up.

[ecstatic]

18. uterinazis too. nt

[AmBlue]

22. Feeling it here too...

With no end in sight apparently. It's maddening... and exhausting.

[dchill]

23. You are in the majority. Unfortunately, that doesn't count...

...in this country anymore.

[spooky3]

25. Can I add the USSC to your already fine list? Nt

[LymphocyteLover]

26. what did Tester do?

[carpetbagger]

36. Voted to overturn Biden's vax mandates

Personally, I think for a guy who gets elected time and time again from Montana, he's been with us in most of the tough fights.

[LymphocyteLover]

79. Yes, he's been way more reliable than freaking Manchin.. but rejecting the mandate is ridiculous

[PJMcK]

27. Time to leave? (n/t)

[WaterSong1951]

28. Let's get real

Sure the news stinks but if you have a job: A:You can donate extra money to your favorite charity B: Take care of your health so you can handle the future C: Get active in changing your progressive future - When I read your post of despair all I can think of is the deep despair of the Holocaust victims who somehow prevailed-the despair of immigrants trying to come to the US - the despair of parents not having food for their children- the despair of a trans person being afraid to go outside and work - shall I go on? - Go and give to charity however way you can it will make you feel better - peace and love - as Pearl Jam says: Oh you’re in your own world let’s see the whole world

[Ferrets are Cool]

29. I'm right there with you. Don't forget a stacked SC.

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

30. I have been finding myself frightened of what is coming.

I do not see anything positive happening. I see people trying to do positive things but trying or planning seems to be as far as it gets. The bad stuff keeps actually happening. Our country is being taken over by domestic terrorists with suits. On a personal level everything they are trying to destroy will have a negative effect on me. On a larger scale it will have a negative effect on a very large percentage of people in this country and be worse than what I would experience.

I am really scared and am starting to feel hopeless.

[Karma13612]

34. Same here Ka-Dinh Oy

But at least we can still hug each other

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

35. Hugs will always be free.

[radius777]

40. +1. Our system is impotent at stopping these people.

Trump broke norms and in doing so revealed how weak our system is (in terms of hard laws and consequences) at dealing with authoritarians. He incited an insurrection yet still walks free, and likely will never see the inside of a prison cell.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

46. Feel the same

If we do not stop the republican party its going to be horrible to live in this country.

Whatever shit they pull on transpeople I will not revert to the gender I was born as. I am a they and we are staying they.
I will not use my dead name.

And if I get attacked for being who we are, I will hurt the assholes.

I don't value traitors
lives. And republicans are scum and I dont value them either because theyr'e traitors too.. This is what they started... I hope we Dems are the ones that finish them.

They sure as hell don't value my life..so fuckem

[vercetti2021]

50. Yeah fuck em

I will never go back to being a man. I'm a badass bitch who is gonna be impossible to kill or bring down. I welcome whatever they try to do. They are fucking with the wrong bitch

[I_UndergroundPanther]

51. Sharpening

My claws and we will standing alongside you with my doc martins on.
We got to be there for each other in the Transgendered
Community.

[vercetti2021]

52. Exactly

The community needs the badass protagonist. Well angry and hard to kill one.

[MerryBlooms]

32. I get where you're coming from. It helps my peace of mind, to take care of local animals and people.

I take care of our local feral fire victim kitties, and have been giving 10% of my income to our local food bank. When I first came back to the Rogue Valley, I needed the food bank, so now I am giving back. I can't do much about a lot of what's going on, but I can do a little here and there.

Only folks in Manchin and Sinema districts can do something about them. I stopped reading news about those two.

I am trying really hard to make change where I can, and not get depressed about things I have no control over.

I am enjoying making the people and animals in my life happy right now. I also have to work and make sure I keep myself and my clients safe... I've got a ton a stuff on my plate, without adding crap I have no control over.

[Karma13612]

33. Not only am I tired of it all

I am also afraid.

Afraid for women of child bearing age although I am 67
Afraid of all the threats to democracy
Afraid of the consequences of the freedom to carry guns everywhere
Afraid of the next stock market crash because that’s where my pension is, thanks to my employer
Afraid that the longer we wait on bringing the guilty to justice, the less chance of it happening.

Just afraid.

[kentuck]

37. The State Motto of Kentucky:

"United We Stand, Divided We Fall"

[Busterscruggs]

39. Been divided

Since forever. These repukes need to get with the program and leave their hate in the past

[orangecrush]

38. Right there with you

I will not give them the satisfaction of seeing me demoralized.

That is the purpose of disinformation.

The opposite has occurred.

All it has done is harden my resolve to take the fight to them in orders of magnitude.

[FoxNewsSucks]

41. Same here.

[Progressive Jones]

42. K & R nt

[Mr. Evil]

44. And this can of worms

was finally opened in its entirety by TFG. I cannot wrap my head around why so many millions of (former) Americans (now traitors) worship a spoiled rotten rich kid from NYC. Especially those doofus southerners that are always ranting about their 'southern heritage' and 'pride' bullshit. All of these supremely gullible idiots grasping for some sense of power and to be some sort of hero for god or whatever club they claim to be a member of claiming they'll save America. Their minds have been reduced to mush with the mental acuity of petulant toddlers and all they really want to do is break stuff because freedom. They haven't a clue about anything nor realize that the very freedoms that allow them (so far) to act like perpetually drunken fools will be taken away if they should succeed in destroying this nation. What plan for the aftermath? All of their SNAP and SS will be gone. No more Medicaid or Medicare. Unemployment benefits... hahahaha! All they will accomplish is to fuck up anything and everything just so they can gloat momentarily. They cannot fathom that all power, glory and fame is fleeting. And, for them it will unceremoniously end almost as quickly as it began. Then and only then will they realize that they really fucked up. And we all suffer because of it.

Stupid fucking morons.

[DLevine]

57. +1

[DeeNice]

63. Yep. This is what TFG administration has cost us. Way more than $$$. nt

[Wingus Dingus]

71. People who pretend to be decent and Christian have a way to release their inner ugliness--

that's what supporting Trump does for them. It's like having a split or compartmentalized personality. My husband's many Trump-humping relatives all seemed like nice people, and they still pretend to be, but now we know what's behind the mask--you can never unsee it. We don't visit them anymore.

[elias7]

47. Right there with you...

[ymetca]

48. I'm given to imagining

we're all just trying to survive humanity's adolescent phase.

At some point, we hope, our collective intelligence will coalesce around best planetary practices in this, the dawning Age of the Noosphere.

[liberal_mama]

49. Me too! Every day I wake up and there is so much bullshit. It's really depressing.

I have been limiting the time I watch the news lately because I just can't stand this.

[GoodRaisin]

53. Yeah, me too. Add Fox News and lying, lying, lying and

added to your list that about covers it for me. And extremist politics. I’m about done with all of it.

[betsuni]

54. "America" -- 21st century won't be a good one for this country, at least for the next few decades.

[LeftInTX]

55. On the bright side: Josh Duggar was found guilty today

Also those creeps in Georgia two weeks ago.

That's about the only good news in the USA

[Girl powers]

56. How about ?

……a massive boycott of Fox sponsors?

[Oppaloopa]

62. Yes They are always accusing us of cancel culture. Let's show them what it is.

[raccoon]

58. Are you me? I've been feeling like this lately. Nt

[Wiscodoug]

60. Chin up.

Trump lost in court again. Maddow reported it last night. Maybe this will be encouraging.

[The Magistrate]

74. Welcome To The Forum, Sir

[Chakaconcarne]

64. disconnect and take a break...

will do wonders....

[LittleGirl]

65. Yup, there's only so much emotional turmoil

one can take these days. It helps to shut it off and escape for a couple of hours to decompress.

Hang in there. A new years is upon us and the tide is turning. Slowly but surely, the wheels of justice are turning.

We should be making sure that the media is not destroying any hope we have left in our souls. Please, I beg, shut it off.

You can stay informed without losing your self or sense of purpose in life.

P.s. I apologize for voting for Sinema. I won't do that again.

[twodogsbarking]

66. Don't stress. It isn't healthy.

Rise above.

[PittBlue]

67. School shootings?

[Scrivener7]

68. I am with you.

But I have to say, you particularly have had a very bad time with this. Having Covid in the middle of it all has to have really broken down your reserves.

We are in a terrible time, but I hope that, despite it all, you are taking care of yourself and finding times where you put it aside and tend to your own physical and mental health.

I wish the best for you.

[boston bean]

72. Thanks scriv! I am ok.

The bullshit is taking a toll. And with nothing seeming to make this end, it just gets the best of me sometimes.

[Scrivener7]

75. I know. I keep waiting for it to turn, and it doesn't. And the new levels

of meanness and entitlement seem to be seeping farther and farther into daily life.

[BlueJac]

69. Agree 100%

[hamsterjill]

70. Agreed.

Sick of being afraid of what’s coming down the tube next. I’m in Texas, so do you blame me?

The only answer that I can see any value in is a simple one. So simple, it’s hard. That being - - -

We’ve got to take care of one another.

[Stuart G]

73. Change Takes Time..& This Change Will Take a Lot of Time. Biden in the "NEW CHANGER"..PLEASE,

PLEASE,.GIVE BIDEN TIME...BIDEN WILL CHANGE THE SHOW, BUT IT TAKES TIME TO DO SO???

i TOO AM IMPATIENT...JUST LIKE YOU....VERY IMPATIENT ...

BUT .............CHANGE TAKES TIME...SOMETIMES...LOTSL OF TIME!!!!

[KS Toronado]

76. Please focus on the light at the end of the tunnel.

It's getting BRIGHTER everyday.

[lillypaddle]

77. Me, too!

What a fucking mess.

[geardaddy]

78. 100% with you

[knightmaar]

80. I honestly though you were doing a new version of "We Didn't Start The Fire"

[boston bean]

82. I coulda kept going!

[roamer65]

81. How do I spell relief?

S-E-C-E-S-S-I-O-N.



…and join Canada.

🇨🇦

[Pepsidog]

83. This is Trump and Republicans secret sauce, they wear you down and have most of the media

dragging us all down. I hear you Brother/ Sister, I feel the same as you do.

[Saboburns]

84. Not sure how you sober folk do it
