I have run out of pejorative terms for the Republican Party. I'm tired.

Idiotic drivel from the mouth of the former president is to be expected; you can't say he's been inconsistent. To have his idiocy endorsed, even sanctified, and thus elevated to rationality in the minds of too many, by people in power who really do know better, every single day, has left me bone-weary, and stumbling into run-on sentences. (My god! Stop! Right now!)

I'm going to do lawn work today, and maybe take a walk on my favorite woods trail. I startled a black bear the other day. He fled from me on a dead run. I'm getting scary in my old age.

Don't sell yourself short. You were probably plenty scary back in the day too!

This is just great, Ralph. Now all you have to do is comb through all the hearts and comments you received in reply!

Yeah, who can blame that bear for running like that??? After all, you are kind of a crusty old fart!!! Lol….. As far as these republicans are concerned, these are supposed to be half way intelligent people, but obviously , they are just plain to stupid to know shame when they see it, or practice it!!!

Most of them make it half way to intelligence, it's the balance that's missing and that's what hurts.

Sounds a lot like "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!" It's an older quote but it still works; it may be especially effective if enough of us send it to our currently elected politicos and make it clear that it will not stop until they demonstrate a rational and thoughtful concern for the governance of this country.

I share your exhaustion. I'm going to have another water color lesson this afternoon and try to unwind. It's hard to stop the voices in my head, though. They are busily shouting your very words: My god! Stop! Right now!

Use your scariness with the MOP (Me Only Party)!

I'd call it "burn-out". same thing as the fatigue you express so well. A walk in the woods with my dog sounds like a great idea.

Succinctly, excellently said. Right there with you.

Hold the line! Don’t give up, don’t give them that much power.
