Every. Single. Day is another day of WTF?

It's overwhelming. It's half past noon here in Michigan and already my head is spinning just from reading what DJT has done or wants to do or has said in the past 24 hours. Or what people have said or done on his behalf. I feel like I'm being bombarded with all this. I barely have time to let one abomination sink in before there's another one coming right behind it.

And there are people, far beyond a reasonable amount of people, who are absolutely okay with all of it. It is NOT okay! People have lost their damn minds.

No good can come from any of this.

It's beginning to turn into 'Infrastructure Week'.

Always announced when the Regime was first in office - and nothing was done.

Everything is a dodge, deflect, defer from the creepy evil old pervert.

It's my party and I'll cry for Charlie
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
I wouldn't cry if it happened to you.



Thank you for your short attention span to this "Epstein" hoax.

it's hard to fit "save democracy" onto your calendar.

9. Often times we are too damn busy with shit that doesn't matter.

Today I feel hopeless and terrified. The only resort I see us having, and nobody comments when I say it, get out in the streets people! That is going to be my answer to everything from now on.

10. I agree completely

Every day is a new horror, a new apocalypse, and not one thing is stopping it. Of course there are few judicial actions here and there, but overall, our country is being eviscerated before our eyes. My stress level is off the charts.

I'm a baby boomer who has lived through many challenges to our democracy, but we always fought back and most often, reason and democracy prevailed. I have never seen anything like this. A thirty-four-time convicted felon, a sexual abuser, a liar, adulterer, an individual who has built his manifesto around hatred, intolerance, vengeance and retribution has won over a massive part of the people of this country. Even "Christians" are endorsing and worshiping this evil being. How the hell does that work? I was the Director of Christian Education at our church, and he is the embodiment of everything we identified as evil and a threat to decency.

Words fail me. This is an unabated horror show. It's Hitler2.0, and I don't see it stopping in the near future.

11. That's exactly why I spend about 99% of my time in the Lounge these days.

And that's why I spend time finding animal videos to post. I have outrage fatigue and I don't want to increase my blood pressure meds.

I feel your pain. I feel it, too.

You have done a world of good with your videos. I know I speak for many others when I say they have helped me keep it together. Sometimes I feel like I'm on a ledge and your videos are practically the only thing that can talk me off safely.

I enjoy them so much. Please don't ever stop!

13. If you're in Michigan, I want to point you towards Mai Xiong of Warren. She's a Hmong state Representative who's genuine

Heartfelt and hard-working. She has become Ground Zero for abuse from Trump-slurping politicians and their hateful goon followers. It’s getting to her, and she needs all the support she can get.
