I've been 100% glued to NPR, DU, MSNBC, CNN, Facebook, Twitter since the orange butt plug took the oath a few weeks back. I'm tired. I wake up at 6am and grab my phone to see what horse hockey happened overnight. What did the orange wonder Tweet overnight? What country did we offend now?
I'm done for the weekend. I'm turning my phone off after work, NO Cable news, NO Facebook or Twitter. Nothing. I'm going to hang with my family. Cook. Drink craft beer. Work out. Watch the Pro-AM Pebble Beach. Sleep. Walk the dog.
We need to rest up to keep fighting with vigor.
Have a great weekend DU Family!

It'll be joyful in spite of this horror show of a government.
CTyankee
(63,912 posts)but I hear you. I was trying to watch Morning Joe today and was feeling disgusted with politics. Mostly, I feel helpless. Even tho Trump is screwing up big time, unless he is impeached or quits he is there in our lives for 4 years. Elizabeth Warren bucked me up and so did Melissa McCarthy's brutal impersonation of Spicer. Stephen Colbert has been brilliant so I am happy to watch him. And tomorrow we have SNL so that's a bright spot...
