I am so sick of it.

45 is the one eeefffing things up.
He wants to blame it all on the Democrats for a government shutdown. You know one's, right now, not the majority. And, of course, his trumpanzees eating it up.

Not to mention the rethug Congressmen that are helping to spread this.

Also sick of all those idiots saying how great that tax scam is. Guess what, not everyone is going to see it. Not here at the bottom. I know I'm not.

And I'm sick of hearing them say he is "god's chosen". Really?

I'm sick of it.

I realized my reading the news or DU has actually no impact on the real world. Only me.

So I take 2-4 days on a regular basis to just live life and ignore the news.

Really makes life better.

having a freaking oligarch/fascist is mentally tiring, staying away from the bs may help.

Find a place you want to go. From a farmers market to a beach house. Turn of the phone and internet. Go experience the, well, experience. It will make you happy.

We democrats should use their play book and attack them offensively at all times! We need to be on t.v 24 hours per day and pushing our plans and stating how the republican ideas are going to screw everything up.

Make them eat it

Part of the strategy is to wear us down to a nub. Just wear us out so we no longer get shocked or outraged. They know if they wear on us enough, we will just stop caring or reacting. But the antidote to that is to just take a break. Don’t let the bastards get to you. That is the only way to win or maintain your sanity. It will always be here when you come back and your mind will be clearer and able to take whatever they dish out.
