I remember a time when it wasn't this way. Perhaps I have grown too darn old. I'm totally ashamed for those who put party first and foremost. We've forgotten what it means to be an American.

Trump be damned, democrats and republicans be damned. I have finally given up on the whole thing. You all do whatever you want to the country. what a waste.

This state of affairs that we're finding ourselves struggling with is unprecedented to say the least. I, as you seem to be, have thrown my hands up in the air (for today anyway) and damn everyone of each party and, for better or worse, let the chips fall where they seem to be destined to fall.

I realize, as many others do, that our government is under control of the Kremlin. The right has made the choice to keep their blinders on. Although they may understand what has happened yet reject these dire facts in favor of partisan politics, leaves little choice but to relinquish our democracy to the more influential forces of Russia which are guiding the compass of our democratic government.

There's little that will impeach Trump at this point and unless someone like John Bolton or Mike Pompeo suddenly become true patriots rather than a book-pusher, or ambitious career seeker, we'll be looking at the reelection of the worst president in U.S.history. In that case, 2021 will signal a whole new beginning for this country. We should all be able to judge from the past what the future will hold for this country. Personally, I have no hope that our democracy will survive for much longer.
