Sorry, folks. It's Sunday and I can't do it anymore either.

The news is nothing but ridiculous hyperbole now.

I'll start paying attention to the news again when Trump is indicted, arrested, and jailed. And Merrick Garland does something.

Until then, screw it. I can't deal with politics anymore.

I'm gonna focus more on my hobbies and stuff that actually interests me.

500 is not even a good try. Assaulting police is okay with the Federalist Society.

I’ll see it here. Then I’ll check the news. I have things I’ve neglected for too long.

The con rapist traitor has pretty much ruined politics for me too. I loved politics since I was 10 years old.

don't believe it's "love". It's more like he appeals to something deep inside their unevolved primitive tiny pea brains. Just MHO tho

Have always prided myself on researching and being able to sort things but this is getting to be too much emotionally for me.
The failure of people all over in both parties as well as the corruption of the Branchs of Government and crapping on our Constitution have given me stomach aches. All while the world is burning and mass murders of species continue.
No more. Am limiting my opinions, efforts and reading to only actual indictments and arrests. Fed up.

Every day, every week, every month now every year, it's said he will be arrested, he will be indicted, he will be frog marched. Garland two inches away from nailing that MF. Tommorow, more shit. Next week, shit. Next week a steaming pile of shit on him. But......... nothing. Even with as much evidence and smoking gun with that asswipe, I'm beginning to believe they ain't gonna do shit. Pull me by the nose a little longer but that's it. If I let it, that'll go go for another two years. I ain't that fucking gullible. Enough already !!

And I am done, at least for now. If I have to hear one more time that "this is the one that will get him" and again, nothing happens, think I will just start screaming.
Just backing away from most media is best for now.
