As Much As I Hope For The Best I Am Starting To Doubt We Are Smart Enough To Save Ourselves.

As much as I work to hope for the best and as active as we are in politics I am having a hard time with it. The news about the NRA funding and the ratings for the shit head Roseanne is disgusting as it is depressing. What the hell is wrong with us as a nation? I see no general outrage when dead children and students and even adults are treated so casually. That attacks on the Parkway students go essentially unanswered. The culprits should be driven off the air and into oblivion, yet they are even celectrateb by elements of the electorate.

For me when profitizing the VA brings no more than a yawn from the public and vets organizations express only "concern" it is too much for me. The vets should be storming GOP offices and shutting them down for even mentioning taking health care away from our wounded. The Koch's should be facing a siege by veterans at their homes for destroying the VA.

When will enough ever be enough for Pete's sake. Every single day Trump and the GOP are sabotaging this country.

Trump & GOP control is the culmination of the Reagan revolution. So much of what is happening was birthed during the Reagan years.

we would still be a British Colony. We have forgotten our rebel roots. We had better wake up. If we think Mueller or a Dem majority is going to save us from all this we are certainly depending on shaky ground.
