My THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING Meter Has Gone Well Past Critical Zone.

Just about every moment of every day I am having "This can't be happening moment". You don't want to watch the new because it is so depressing. Yet you have to be informed about what is going on. And it never gets better with each newscast.

People knew what could happen if they sat out or went chasing unicorns. And they are shocked at what's going on.

Now in the age of Trump I do not have enough imagination to anticipate what might come next.

What The Fuck Just Happened Today?

The site gives a list of the most important things in abbreviated form with links to articles that provide full information. It saves a lot of time trying to find out what's going on quickly.

On the other hand it tends to raise my blood pressure way to high too early in the morning - but reading or watching the news would do that anyway.

Kind of decided to contain my outrage to the 3 issues that matter most to me - reproductive rights, health care and education - while DH remains outraged over immigration, the environment and climate change. When it gets too much I have to escape to books on my kindle and spoiling the grandkids and cats. Trying real hard to limit stress eating.

I watched in horror as W pushed us into a terrible war that destroyed the country's reputation based on a lie about WMDs.

Now this?

Its incredible how scroutus is still in power.

Then I remember mcconnell and ryan are still in power.
