It seems almost everyday I wake up and the news is awful

[kimbutgar]

I feel like today we only have two weeks to live.

And the congress is so awful I'm dreaming of an alien invasion to zap the GOP Cacus.

1. These people think they can make up their own truth

but the truth will arrive, and unintended consequences will follow. If they vote for the tax on imports, many Walmarts will close, and probably all of the Best Buys will close. What about retail jobs?

2. The end of mankind could really come this year.

This madman with the ability to nuke is terrifying.

3. The guy is a maniac among many things and highly unpredictable and dangerous as hell! And

there is little control over him as he moves in cohorts of the same ilk with him.

6. It's getting to the point where I'm waking up to check and see

If Russia has invaded the Baltics/Eastern Europe or China invading Taiwan.

sucked into some reverse-time vacuum-like black hole.. like in some scifi movie and at some point the whole planet will start to break apart in chunks...

oh wait...

I guess the gig will be up sooner than later.

9. I saw this history show this weekend, Doomsday 10 ways the world will end

They talked about the glaciers breaking off and warming up the water making it less salty leading to catastrophic weather and doom.

11. Yeah...

I'm beginning to wonder if we'll be around to see the end of the decade at this point.

5. don't worry. our nukes are all aimed at Moscow, so Putin won't fire them.

and they prefer to rule over us subtly rather than destroy us physically. Just relax and enjoy it, as the old joke goes about rape.

12. "...just close your eyes."

7. Plus just turning on your computer

these days almost invariably the first thing you see on the screen is a photo or headline about Trump.

10. I tried the google app to replace kittens with his face but it doesn't work

They want to normalize that monster.

8. I really want someone to tell me it isn't going to be as bad as I think it is

sadly, no one can tell me that.

It is going to be far worse than any of us can even imagine.

I hated W. I thought he was not intelligent enough to run the country. I never thought he was trying to destroy us all. (Cheney is another story.)

I didn't like McCain, but I thought he had the best interest of the country at heart, even though I thought he was wrong on most everything.

Romney...again, if he had been elected, I'd have been disappointed and angry, but life would go on.

This feels like the end of our country, the end of elections, just the end of everything that has been consistent in my lifetime. I have two boys who will graduate from high school during this creature's term and I worry for them.

Then, I think about the fact that they will fare better than most as they are white, male, and pretty much middle class. How must mothers without the advantages I have feel about their children's futures?

I've never felt that there was no hope before.

Right now every day is like watching a plane crash, knowing that I can do nothing to stop it.

13. It just would have taken a little longer to get here...

the R-Congress has had a plan to take over and make us over to fascists for some time.

14. I have never felt this demoralized in my life

This election was so odious.

I have a 24 year son with autism who lives in a group home and attends a day program. When I drop him off at his program I see all these young adults with autism and wonder what will hapoen. to them. Chumps alt tight buddies think they are worthless losers (my brother in law who is a chump supporter thinks my son is a waste on our society - I haven't talked with him since July 3rd 2013) My sister only comes to my house and was disgusted by his comment, he is in poor health and she won't leave him because he is dying now. But that is a common attitude and he is a poster boy for someone who worked in a government job and sucks off taxpayers himself!
