From all appearances we have no superheroes in Congress who are going to do anything but tell us to vote in the next election and give them plenty of money when we do it. So what is our next option? Do you suppose if we got 4 million people to descend upon the capital and protest would that do anything? I've started to feel pretty hopeless too. I'm finding myself trying to do the best I can to ignore it for a good number of hours every day and get outside touch the grass smell the flowers pet the dogs feed the birds and pray for his demise. If this isn't the death of America then I don't know what it is. And naturally we had to take the whole fucking planet with us.
