I just feel I can't let my guard down for a moment. Maybe we should permanently stop our watching this train wreck in motion that seemingly will never end in our entire lives? the only thing that will happen is that our BP will go down by a lot.

Funny anecdote.....I go to my internal medicine doc every so many months. A few months ago I saw him for our normal 30 minute appointment. (I know, I pay extra for the time after 12 minutes!) He takes my BP after I have been at rest for a few minutes, takes it again at 15 minutes and again at 30 minutes. Between the 15 minute and 30 minute we started talking about politics...He must be a fellow Dem, and the 30 minute BP shocked him. He suggested that I stay off the internet and quit thinking so much and talking politics with anyone.....LOL LOL LOL
