We cant let POTUSs complete indifference to truth become ours. Constant barrage may be exhausting, but normalizing it is too dangerous.

The combination of the way that President Trump stumbles from petty feud to announcing yet another appalling policy with all the grace of a drunken lumberjack combined the with numbing resignation induced by a ravenous 24/7 infotainment media machine that barely stops to tut-tut the Presidents impropriety before hungrily seizing on Trumps latest barbs has indeed exhausted our reserves of outrage and fed a growing sense of normalizing resignation among many.
As bone weary, disgusted and disheartened as I have become in this never ending citizens WAR we canNOT become resigned or beaten down.
Beyond the ogre mentality and buffoon oafishness of the Cretin, is the hourly shredding of all that is decent and hopeful about America. Besides being a billious, walking billboard of the worst of twisted, pathologically lying, narcissistic humanity, he is being used by an infected party of soulless greed and hate as the cloddish frontman to the destruction of our nation.
We Must continue to RESIST. I kick myself a dozen times daily to remain in the fight. Im tired, Im Not getting any younger, Im ironically battling back a growing, personal form of intolerant abhorrence for his people who make it their lifes agenda to hate.
But by all that is or isnt holy to any of us...we cannot stop.
