I think that's it. I feel it. It's a bit of a balm.

I'm Debbie Downer today. From Trump's horrible address, Whitehouse.gov site, executive orders, banning the Dept of Interior from twitter...It is hitting and it is not good.

There have got to be Republicans who oppose this stuff. Not all Republicans are insane like Trump.

I hope I didn't ruin anyone's mood. Many DU members were talking worse case scenarios, (for example: comparing Trump to Hitler) I viewed it as political fodder, but I think Trump may be a similar person in his core and that is very scary. Our only hope is checks and balances.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
