in the morning too depressing what is he doing to our country??? geez for 8 years I was resting easy not anymore.
You know all those countries who can't vote wished they could, and this is our right now I know why people in other countries vote to keep these assholes from taking power. I hope that pendulum swings back hard and swift.

and my laptop on the other. When I wake up at 3 or 4 a.m. for a while, I check to see if Drumpf is up telegraphing any of his crazy antics on his Twitter account.

I always used ask to myself as well as my partner... "I wonder what blew up today..." as a remark about how it seemed that was all the news seemed to care about. Today, it's, "How much farther have gone down the rabbit hole?"

Hanging over some major city. Not necessarily an American city. Not necessarily directly the result of Trump, but still his fault via some series of events.

I think about it all the time, especially after China's threat after the Tillerson comments. Better start buying property in Antarctica or the Easter Islands.

He's old. He's fat. He doesn't exercise. He's angry, all the time. He's surrounded by people who are betraying him by leaking info to the news. The media, Faux doesn't count, hate him. The CIA hates him. Women, all over the world, are marching against him. He's getting trolled mercilessly on Twitter. They are filing lawsuits against him. His Washington hotel is hemorrhaging money, and it's all over the news. He lost the popular vote by 2.8 million and no one will let him forget it, especially himself. Repealing ACA is turning into a nightmare and promising to be political suicide for the Republican party. He can't get his cabinet confirmed. To top it all off, he has managed to piss off the Democrats to the point they are actually finding their collective spine, no small feat. And we are just getting started...That massive coronary is just a heartbeat away.

Then I come on here at night, and proceed to stop myself from pounding my head into my desk as I read
all the idiotic things the orange twitler has done. I swear I'm not gonna look, but it IS a train wreck and,
well, you know, we have to look. I'm about ready to stand in front of the train and get it over with. lol?

I was going to post the "Days without being a National embarrassment" photo every morning on FB. From August through today there might have been two days he didn't publicly do something that could have been posted. One was on Thanksgiving weekend, can't recall the other.

we would either get our first women president with the confidence and courage to lead us through the next 4 years or we would be entertained by a daily circus with a very dangerous clown in charge.

Then I look to see which other asshole has made some stupid ass comment on my Facebook feed. Yes, I've unfriended all the Trump supporters but so many are trolling Democratic threads that I still see the stupidity on a daily basis.

Make it stop!!!!!
