8. We can ride this out! Just have to remind ourselves..

Mahalo for doing so.

I remember that dream someone had that drumpf won.. how prescient.. we all thought it was just a nightmare.

I still feel like we're living one and we need to wake up.. It's the literal Global Twilight Zone magnified by billions.

Yes, it can get very depressing around here with all the latest news from putin pandering central.. greedy plans to strip our Democracy bare.

But, we can also find friends to talk to and help each other through this.. It's been over a month and although I have had some good days.. the peace of mind has been fleeting.

Never Giving up, though.. We can do this. Like rzemanfl says..

I am thinking of a novel. A political thriller.

The leader of the free world has lots of evidence that a foreign power has influenced the outcome of an election that chose a dangerous moron sociopath as his successor. He has information from multiple super-secret agencies regarding the interference. The problems he is facing are-

1) he doesn't know who he can trust, the FBI, for one, is certainly involved in the plot
2) he needs absolute, incontrovertible proof-confessions, transcripts of phone calls, proof of software hacks and machine tampering
3) he cannot tip his hand until the time is right
4) he wants to avoid a civil war
5) he has very little time

I think I will call my main character "Barack."
