Thursday I was on a high with all the excellent media coverage of Mueller's progress in ridding our country of this vile President...one breaking story following another... we had waited for this, it seems forever....thrilling....alas, I was spoiled...
It galls me to see that the next how many days are gonna be wall to wall coverage of an ex Republican president who did nothing to improve peoples' lives. Voodoo economics carried on from Reagan...hurting us for 40 years.
I believe this is the true definition of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. Gotta be polite and conform..and give this Republican accolades..

(348 posts)It has been an excruciatingly coarse immersion in surrealist theatre since he descended from his gilded tower three years ago to announce his inevitable inheritance to the throne of our social media culture. I have been seething at he, his myriad cronie enablers, and the 25% of my fellow countrymen that have and will blindly support this protracted abomination to every ethical and democratic principal this country supposedly stands for. For myself and those similarly afflicted, every shoe that has dropped for the last two years has elicited hopes of the quickening endgame, and the removal of this disgrace from the Oval Office. So yesterday was like a shot in the arm, and the junkie craving for the demise of 45 has been followed by the depressive and dejected cravings of today's extended come-down. Sucks. Cheers!

And FOX needs no help from us in making Bush Sr. seem like a saint.

(17,632 posts)he was behind Iran-Contra (Raygun was out of it with Alzheimer's) during which 200 to 250,000 Guatemalan native people were massacred! I do not like the war criminal and the crimes he committed to humanity at all!

Perhaps get away from politics for the next few days. It will pass.
