I guess I just don't have much expectations these days in the political landscape to have a response to the event last night that proved fears are valid and evil lives on alive and well as it gorges and demands second helpings from the media, corporations, and elites. Trump is feasting and elated. Demanding more and more extractions of money, favors, brides, threats, blackmail, schemes to keep him breathing. I refuse to give myself a panic attack when I have many other things to grapple with unrelated that are already giving me near panic attacks. 

Hope and politics are a bad mix. Yet we have to live here and get up in the morning. It's a real unsolvable dilemma.
