It's 3:30 am PST and as what has become my life [View all]

I don't sleep anymore. I'm too busy anticipating the next disaster brought on by this Administration. I'm thinking about opening bell and what horrors await us. I'm thinking about the 1/2 dozen bombers and fuel tankers that have been moved to within striking distance of Iran and ship movements around the globe and what human being is being abused and restrained for exercising their right to free speech. I'm thinking of children that will go without food and may contract the measles, unnecessarily. I'm thinking about our elderly and veterans that aren't being cared for as promised.
I'm thinking about the excuse this administration will use to declare Marshall law on the American public.
I think about how I used to sleep peacefully under the protection of our Federal Gov't.
I'm sure that fat f.ck Felon is worried about the possibility of a bad portrait hanging somewhere.
