Me too pangaia.

I could only listen to pieces of the President's presser.

What a bummer. We're leaving this orderly, LAWFUL administration and going into a what will BE the most corrupt and worst POS administration every in history which I'm sure will continue "working with" russia to make SURE the senate, congress and presidency STAY in thuglican hands, and to see that this country turns into a complete cesspool courtesy of tRump and the GOP. Personally, I've always had nagging doubts/suspicions as it relates to the voting apparatus here in this country, and I especially have it NOW because you have a pro-putin puppet in there who along with the GOP don't care about people expressing their right to vote, or if people are able to vote with confidence, because the GOP loves practicing voter suppression/voter disenfranchisement. They surely are not REAL Americans or pro-America. Seriously, I've almost NO hope for the Dems winning the Senate or the presidency in 2020, and the Congress--well--we know what further gerrymandering will do to the congress and in turn do to US in a few years.

You know, I've always been one to be hopeful even in the darkest hours in this nation's history that I've been told about by my long departed elders/parents (Depression/Jim Crow/Racism, WW2 etc.), and that I've personally lived through (MLK/Bobby Kennedy's assassination/Reagan attempted assassination etc.) and in my own personal life (As we ALL have to do), and although I remain and will always BE a very spiritual person who holds prayer dear to my heart, I have to say that at the age of (55) and after witnessing what I truly believe was a stolen election (with help from a foreign entity/enemy), my belief in fair and honest elections is now completely GONE now.

And, for those of us who know what time it IS (Unlike low-info, sexist, racist, and just plain out dumb tRump voters), we know that 99% of the press has long BEEN in corporate hands and are there for good unfortunately. They no longer care about truth etc., and we also know that no one will be able to reign tRump in and long after he's gone the Supreme Court with their draconian rulings will put this country back 50 plus years in terms of well, EVERYTHING. As of NOW, we are SOOO screwed and not in a good place at ALL in our nation/world.
