I was sad when he 'won' the election. I am angry and depressed now. I am depressed because of what he is doing to our country. Even if he is removed, it will takes years to fix all the damage he's done.

I am angry:

With the GOP. I expected a few spines to show up by now. But only see faux outrage and monotoned condemnation from this bunch. Even though Corker states most repubs agree with him about Trump's instability, they will cave to Trump and pressure him (Corker) to an early ouster. They will never impeach this dirt bag as I believe most GOP are severely compromised.

With Dems because of their silence and concaved chests. Tomorrow morning there should be large group of Dems giving a press conference. They should tell the public in the strongest terms possible the truth: Trump is purposely destroying the ENTIRE health care system and does care if you live or die. Explain exactly what his EO means as some may not fully understand just how bad this is. The Dems should also announce an investigation to see if any insider trading occurred ( by Trump, family, friends cabinet) before this EO was signed Friday. As I believe he is manipulating the stock market.

With MSM. The media has not challenged him in any way whatsoever. His taxpayer paid weekend golf outings receive no criticsm from MSM. Reporting on his threats to the NFL and NBC should have been stronger and could have opened up an abuse of power claim against him. But minimal reporting is done on his descretions. The media never pressured him to apologize for the wiretap lie. Maggie Haberman seems to be so in awe of him, that she can no longer report objectively.

Trump knows that he is winning. Even when it looks like he's losing. This is why he was so happy this weekend. Every day I want to scream 'Why is no one doing anything to stop this monster?'

Sorry for the long post. I just needed to vent.
