Merry (F'ing) Christmas. Hard To Be Merry About Anything. [View all]

Sure we have won some significant elections but we are still deep in the woods. And the "tax scam" looks like it will pass. So many things just plain stink right now. Trump becomes more unbearable every day as does the GOP too.

We yet do not have enough power to stop them. We may still win in the end, but will the political and economic landscape in the US look like the remnants of the cities where ISIS had been defeated. My concern is how much damage can we stop.
