I weep for our nation. In some ways, I'm actually HAPPY that I'm too old to see what the future holds. My years are numbered... as is this country. There will be NO "Tri-Centennial" (in my opinion).

(134 posts)I remember hearing Bush was gonna go down for torture and spying, he didnt, and now he's a #resistance hero for some reason.
We gotta beat them in 2020, we gotta focus on policy, improving people's lives and the rampant corruption that very clearly exists in this administration--too many people hinged everything on Russian collusion when there's plenty of other crimes and injustices going on out in the open.

(51,623 posts)A friend of mine also said it on Fri. I am going to die within a few years and I am not sad about it.
Now that this shit is going on I am RELIEVED I will not have to live with the GOP machine and watch my country be destroyed by their greed and hate. If I weren't going to die soon I really would leave the country. I did it before with Bush #2.
