10. I feel your concern and pain are terribly, terribly sincere.

I mentioned this exact thing today on the thread about Melania and her trip to Africa and how hypocritical that it is being portrayed as her concern about children's wellness.

I have not forgotten. This is still the number one reason I want the GOP assholes gone and why the November elections are so crucial. However, I have no idea other than that what I can do on a daily/weekly basis to change this situation, one that should have never happened to start with. I'm hoping the Democrats in Congress are doing all they possibly can to help. Maybe in some way making sure Trump doesn't get Kavanaugh as a justice will mean he can't then let Trump off the hook when Mueller comes for him. Maybe then we can rid ourselves of Trump and his family. I really don't know.

What I do know is that there are probably many, many good ACLU lawyers and other lawyers out there who do care and are fighting the good fight for us. I worked at a law school and one of the older professors ran a pro bono legal clinic for immigrants. The amount of good work he did was incredible and he was able to get many of his cohorts to help too. Hopefully, there is a lot of that going on. Yeah, the media isn't focusing on that, but I have to have faith that they are doing their damndest to help.
