Went out for cocktails with two friends both Democrats. A local we all know came over and we start chatting. Then he say “I’m sick of this impeachment bullshit” and nobody says anything. Then I say. I’m sick of all HIS bullshit. The fucking criminal can drop dead right now. One of my friends nods in agreement. The other says.”Tell us how you really feel.“
ARE YOU KIDDING!!! That’s how anyone with any sense feels.

Yeah I need a break too. Happy Thanksgiving.
