My wife just said no news for her today

[TEB]

She just simply stated she is wore out exhausted mentally over trump. She is going to sit on the couch and catch up on her reading.

1. I've had to do that a few times since the election

I'm leaving the country for a month and will use that time to "regroup".

[Dave Starsky]

2. It's like drinking out of a firehose.

I've been taking "news holidays" of late, and it has been beneficial.

3. Tomorrow is that day for me

We have a family gathering at our home place. Be at least 80 probably closer to 100 souls there and not one word of politics or religion uttered. We long ago agreed to disagree. It keeps peace

[Throck]

4. My wife refuses to let trumps shit get her down.

No more emotional engagement.

7. good for her.

It's good to get away from it. I do, regularly.

[oasis]

8. It's sickening to see how much the Saudis are kissing his rear end.

It's a good time to tune out.

9. Jeannie won't let me discuss politics with her at all anymore.

She has Trump rant fatigue. Since last summer.

10. I have had to ask my mother to take a break several times during the Health

Care bill debacles. This is very stressing on her, all of us actually.

Now I actually am enjoying the news as The Orange Sphincter spirals downward. There may be fits and starts ahead, setbacks even, but the shit is going down, just a matter of how many heartless sell-outs go down with him.

I look at this as a chance to reset a lot of things. My wish list is prefaced on us getting both Houses of Congress and the WH again. If we can exert tremendous pressure to get the money out of our politics, we can get representatives who will bust up the banking, media, telecom/cable and health care industries we can improve our quality of life tremendously.

The media landscape that Roger Ailes created where everyone can watch only the propaganda they like has caused the hyper-partisanship that we have today. It has created the Tea Party and Trumpsters we have today. It misleads them and keeps them angry and afraid so that they vote in droves against their on interests. Watch Fox now and see how out of step they are with what they are talking about. Things like stopping leakers, whether the new FBI Director will re-open the Hillary email investigation... This is killing our country!

11. I've been trying to get some gardening in

between all the bombshells.

12. Time off to recuperate, nurture frayed neurons, balance emotions

is wise and leads to greater productivity upon return

The more I read a good book, and knock off before 10PM online, the
better I sleep, the better I feel in the morning

[B Stieg]

13. I have to do this once a day...

at least!

[gratuitous]

14. Our house observes Friday No Trump

It's exhausting keeping up with the endless stream of corruption and excuse-making. Take a day off, anyone feeling overwhelmed. We'll keep an eye on things. Rest. Recharge. Relax for a day or a weekend.
