19. Dotard Fatigue?

That's my guess. For the last two years it's been non-stop dropping of Dump-related bombs: his insane tweets, his corrupt Cabinet's musical chairs and firings/resignations, the Russia investigation, tell-all books, leaks, leaks, leaks, and on and on and on...

Single incidents that would have torpedoed any previous politician or appointee barely last three days in the news cycle. There's always a new bomb or tweeted lie to take it's place. It's been impossible to keep track of all of it. And very few of the perpetrators have suffered any real consequences. Yet.

I utterly despise him and his minions, am disgusted by what they have done and continue to do, and can't wait to see them all frog-marched off to holding.

But I am tired. So tired of this constant crisis cycle. It's wearing me down. I think it's wearing a lot of people down. We want to see the hammer come down, but we have to be patient and let Mueller finish his work. I have total faith in Mueller and his team, but it's been difficult to remain patient for this long, already. I am emotionally worn the eff down.

What's going on in VA is not only a shiny, new, non-Dotard related scandal, it also presses a lot of hot buttons. What gets people more fired up and bickering at each other than racism and sexual assault? It's crack for journalists and their viewers/readers. Views and clicks = money. The news organizations are scooping up ratings ($), even from the people who sigh and switch the channel when yet another Dump Admin scandal or tweet hits (and it will, because it's a day ending in -y).

What will ultimately happen in VA can only be, and should only be, decided by the people of VA. Wall to wall national coverage serves no purpose, unless you are profiting off of it in some way (whether financially or through shady political maneuvering).
Just my two cents.
