Free Parking -- Living With Toxic Stress

Snippet

“Toxic stress” is caused by constant anxiety due to prolonged exposure to stress. Toxic stress causes brain damage in young children and teens. In adults, prolonged stress causes hormonal imbalances and increased metabolic rates. Never before in our history has a president done all he could to undermine our government, monetary system, commerce, manufacturing and trade, health care system and social norms.

Our entire social system has broken down. The madman in the White House is covering up a crown prince’s heinous murder of a journalist who was critical of him personally. Today he ordered tear gas and rubber bullets fired across the border of a neighboring, sovereign nation into a crowd of women and children. We have officially become a pariah nation with a war criminal at the helm.

incompetent, self serving, infantile, worthless, that I can't even be in the same room. They don't think that a county party's first and only job is to get democrats elected to local offices. So, guess what. Our county turned red for the first time since the reconstruction. The old committee got voted out, hounded out and here we are.

I dig in the dirt and write.

The state party stepped in and ran a coordinated campaign in my county outside the county party

The idiot county party chair is a very stupid person who forgot to appoint someone to the ballot board and so the GOP got to reject a number of absentee ballots.
