Meanwhile, Bill Clinton got impeached because of lying under oath - regarding a tabloid-fueled hysteria about his sex life.

Impeachment is/has become a fucking joke, and it's all because of the Republican Party in recent decades. Not saying it wouldn't be justified in Trump's case, by any means, but come on.

All of them. Entirely. And undo all of the actions trump and his russian puppet henchmen have done since summer 2016, when FBI and CIA knew that putin was screwing the election. Why do we have to live with the illegal, un-American actions? And everyone just keeps talking about it and we wake up every day and the traitors are still in charge?

I'm just really angry. I was hoping that by now, somebody in the government cared enough to bring the whole russian machine to a halt, but no, it just keeps going on and generating income for everyone paid for an opinion. God.

I cannot bring myself to the acceptance part either. I'm stuck in a futile, inescapable loop since election day 2016. Not one day has passed that hasn't brought me back to Disbelief, Anger, Bargaining, Depression or a mixed bag of any of the four disturbing parts of the grief reaction.
I mourn continually now. I mourn for the national image of the U.S., probably now damaged beyond all recovery. Depression. I bargain with God, Allah, Buddha, whoever's up there that the orange menace doesn't get us nuked into history and the idiotic basis of the anointed one's platform. Disbelief, Anger. I mourn that we've gone from the most respect worthy administration in decades to overwhelming buffoonery. Anger. I mourn how millions of Murican's have become Fox-noise and Limbaugh cult zombies. More depression.
Acceptance? Never. Stockholm syndrome, a nauseated resignation to our current economic and physical peril is the closest I can come.

I know staying angry and sad aren't healthy for me, but I figure that for now, its ok. I took a break for a few days. Launching missiles doesn't make anyone presidential and I just didn't want to hear it. Or any of the other advances in entrenchment that happen every day and trump et al. get away with every day.
I keep getting images of Mad Max movies because it seems like we're headed that way and I can't believe that the people who voted for the a*hole think that's a good way to live. My God, the stress of protecting your loved ones from rape, torture, and death, finding a reliable food source, they think living like Mad Max is better than what we have now? I'm not even coherent.
