Thirteen million will lose health care three million children will lose out on lunch subsidies. Another example is Alligator Alcatraz sheer cruelty or how the evangelical community has exchanged the cross for political power.
She asks me who are these people who find joy in the sufferings of others, my reply these people are degenerates.
Evil racist scum weve dealt with this before as in the civil war or with the Nazis into the fight for civil rights. And we will get through this and down the road in history. Youll have to look high and low to ever find anyone who voted for this.
So today Dunc and dad will pick up my friend and take her to the park.
To try and get her out of her mental funk a picnic of subs and burger for Dunc then we roll for ice cream.

(Hope I did this right!) Take a little time and just enjoy watching this. Share it with your friend. Its just a little departure that should leave you AND your friend in a better mood. Sure worked for me just now!
Just a wee bit of food for the soul. With a side of calming.

(18,579 posts)this mental funk is real for all of us and we have to stick together. I watch 'The Enemy From Within' a podcast by a Colorado trucker named Josh. He broadcasts from his sleeper every night and he gives honest commentary that is sometimes so funny I literally LOL and sometimes downright scary like the future of the entire trucking industry. Anyway its a site where I get a chuckle and I dont have to watch clips of trump.

That you are surrounded by people who would happily see you dead because you want a better, kinder world and life for THEM and everyone else.
