1. I'm done

The president is lying to get us into a war. He has colluded with Russia, obstructed justice and the Attorney General is acting as his personal lawyer.

I simply do not feel that I can continue to read the news and participate in political discussions even as infrequent as they may be.

I am on here numerous times during the day mostly reading and posting when I feel the need. I just don't feel as though I can anymore. I'm just too unhappy and it's not good for me


We are rocketing toward war with an incompetent psychopath leading our armed forces. The Republicans in the Senate do not give a flying f***. The house is afraid of impeachment because of politics. I once stated that time needed to be considered in order for the house to build its case. This is past. At this point there is oath of office and duty. Our elected congressman and women have taken an oath to hold the executive branch in check. I cannot bear to continue to read news articles where Trump has thumbed his nose at the rule of law while the Democrats in the house continue to fear engaging in constitutional action which is required.

I'm sorry if this offends some and it is taken as attacking Democrats. I will always vote for a Democrat at the polls but I can't support this inaction. I can't continue to read news articles which highlight the lawlessness and tyrannical actions of our president. So I'm going to check out and not read anyting it's just not worth it. I have young child who deserves a happy dad. I would rather she have an ignorant happy father than a miserable one.
