I am sticking around in this world to take care of my cat and dog, but I am such a combination of angry and sad, at what's going on in this world.
Not all people, but a lot are just sitting around doing nothing to stop tsf from destroying this country and probably the world. People are willing to watch people including children starve to death just so they can feel smug and superior. People are hoarding animals, and I just read on a community page that someone poisoned a guy's dog. WTF? Why are people so ignorantly cruel?
I try to help where I can, and also to focus on other things, but it's just so hard not knowing when at least somethings will go back to not sucking as bad as they do now? Things aren't so bad for me personally but, I am just pissed off that far too many people think they have they right to harm other people and animals for kicks, who have done nothing to them. Who feel free to mock those of us who do care? When the hell does justice and karma kick in.
I keep seeing and hearing people say oh it will change and get better, and I keep waiting to hear anything that makes me feel that's possible and right now I am not seeing it.
At least Pope Leo is speaking out. I hope it gives more people in powerful positions around the world the courage to speak out and stand up against the bullies of this world.

(26,589 posts)Sure, I wander from that, but if it encourages others, or just help them stay out of harm's way (like the computer and phone security posts) then I've done something good.
Control what you can control.
Influence and encourage others who are like-minded or close to like-minded.
And don't feed on doom posts, even if they are news items. The orange blob manipulates the news with his bombshell stunts, to distract from Epstein. We reflect that here in news posts.
I went back to trashing the word Trump. It was a drag, and serious items get through anyway.
I have posted some scenarios, hopefully realistic, for the House of Maga to fall.
Did you imagine that a British prince would be thrown into the manure pile? Well, he was, and he's the first domino to fall.

(4,878 posts)My heart is with you. I find myself checking in more often in hope of some news but that isnt helpful to my peace of mind. Enjoy your animals and be easy with yourself. Were doing the best we can! Love to you. 💗🙏🏼
I am going to have to stop checking as frequently too as I have been, just hoping to read that the nightmare is going to end, but day after day, there is only stories abut his atrocious behavior, and how he gets away without consequences. Those over the top headlines like "DT is heading towards a 3rd impeachment ," from the podcasters, make it even worse. You listen to them hoping it's true, but it's always pure speculation and ends up being a giant nothing buger. False hope is cruel.
