The Dog Years of Trumps America

Yesterday was a long decade.

By the end of the day, when my head finally hit the pillow I felt ten years older; as if I’d somehow spent far more than merely 24 hours on the planet, gone through much more than just one earthly rotation.

By nightfall, after weathering another turbulent day here, I felt disproportionately older than I should have.

I know I’m not alone.

This exhaustion is a national epidemic.

This fatigue has become commonplace here now.

In this Presidency, America is living dog years.

We’re all aging unnaturally rapidly, friends.

We're so exhausted. The stress is unnatural. I keep saying how much I wish I could read the last chapter so I know how this ends. If it ends well, we could watch it happen like a gripping crime novel, if it ends tragically, we'd know to start making some serious preparations for survival. I really believe the statistics will show an increase in all disease and likely a shortened life span as a result of this creature and his loyal keepers.

I lived through this with Nixon and never dreamed I would have to live through this again. WTF is wrong with people that voted for this? Some of them also lived through Nixon.

and now this thing. Each time, Democrats faithfully come in and clean up the mess and then the next shows up makes it worse we clean up best we can while they fight tooth and nail and now here we are -- at the precipice.
