19. It doesn't matter how we feel.

Trump and his merry band of evil incompetents are in charge and they're not listening to the Supreme Court, much less us.

I call my useless fools of senators regularly and my messages go to voice mail. Nobody calls me back. I used to email them and their staff sent me insulting form letters and put me on their propaganda blasts.

The only thing that seems to get through to Trump is when the stock market tanks so I guess maybe that's a silver lining. I'm not rooting for anything except an end to the carnage.

(And like many DUers, I'm nearing retirement and pissed off that my nest egg is being devalued, while also wondering if social security will even be there for me and my loved ones. So, yeah - situation FUBAR.)
