An the truth is I don't need to know. My congress woman, Jan Shakowsky, is strongly against Trump, as are the two Illinois senators. I have no say on what Trump says or does, and very little of what he says or does affects me. Yes, he is bad for the country, but I do not have the power to impeach. and following politics makes me angry. What is the point of being angry most of the time? But, and this is an important but, I am addicted to politics especially presidential politics. (for many, many years)
...I guess that what this group is all about. Addiction and Recovery
