Seems to me Trump and his administration are like the weather. Everyone talks about it and you know

the rest.

Night after night I listen to various people on MSNBC tell me how bad Trump is. It is getting tiring hearing it.

I keep hoping that some night I will here that Trump or any of his family or any of his administration has had a day where justice was served and they will have to pay a price for their actions. I am beginning to think that will never happen. I doubt the Mueller investigation will give us justice.

Jeff Sessions can lie directly to a Senate Committee and the repubs on the committee will do nothing about it and the Dems are impotent to do anything about it.

It is almost a year since the Russians were involved in our elections and helped put Trump in office. And it is about a year until our next election and no one is going to stop the Russians from screwing us over again.

Nothing we want will see the light of day if we do not take power away from the right.

I think that thought when ever I read threads about some Dems vs other Dems.

None of what is said in those threads matters to me right now.

We need to do what we don't do well and that is vote in large numbers in an off year election.

To me it doesn't matter if they are for single payer or not. We are losing the ACA! To me it doesn't matter how far to the left or not they are. We are in the minority in Congress.

We are the only ones who can do anything about Trump.

We must do whatever we can to resist. That takes many forms. Whether it is joining a group to make calls, knock on doors to get the vote out or attend Indivisible, Huddles or other Dem groups who are organizing strategies to get Dem candidates, going to rallies and marches, signing petitions, writing letters, making calls to reps, attending town halls, etc...even just talking to family, friends and even strangers to "spread the word". That is how the Tea Party started at the grass roots level in 2010 and it worked. People have been organizing since last year and they are smart, serious and committed. Resist! Peace.
