It was a heat of the moment thing. Her mother is a lifelong Democrat who voted for the Felon in Chief. I've become exasperated listening to her mother's ridiculous excuses as to why she would cast a vote for that man. When my wife said that her mother tried to excuse the turn of events with regard to Trump's Russian connections as if it was something that happens with every administration, I lost it. Yelled at her as proxy for her mother.

I don't know if I can "get a grip" until that man is sitting in a jail cell.
