No... not really. We can agree that CNN reported on unverified information and stated that it was indeed unverified.

Kind of how the FBI, right before the election, decided to check on some UNVERIFIED emails that turned out to have NOTHING to do with Secretary Clinton and raised some suspicion among voters (which seems to have been the goal).

But, hey... as long as Twitler won, amirite?

It was obvious they needed help when they became scared of Pepe the frog

our country has survived much, much, more than anything we face currently. I suggest you re-evaluate the scope of your influence. There is nothing you can do to affect - negatively or positively - the direction of the country.

No, actually I'm not okay, but it has little to do with Donald Trump. Thanks for asking, even if it was disingenuous.

If you can't do that then I suggest you seek professional help. And don't go to a licensed social worker... go to a REAL psychologist.


When will you accept reality? as I posted on another thread- the balking of the left, no longer has to do with the loss of the candidate we wanted- That show is over, we all know it -and accepted it grudgingly. We are now in a new season "Trump takes the WH"- Right now we are looking at the previews of what it will be like, the next 1460 episodes. That is what we sensible ones are concerned about.
The right is still back in the power games of the candidacy - still talking about Hilly-- we are not, - speed forward please- and get with the program.

Agreed we are pretty far removed from the POTUS and all the rest that makes for the fate of us Americans, but we are not far removed from the effects of poverty, lack of quality health care, lack of education, violence, the possibility of war, lack of opportunity for far too many people. So how can you -- anyone -- be so nonchalant about what is now unfolding?

I may not be losing sleep about what may or may not happen. I'm not sure I'm experiencing all these emotions you and others love to belabor about those who struggle with the idea of POTUS Trump, but I'm not a fool or numb to the implications. I fear all too many Trump supporters are however.

If you truly are a former psycho-therapist, me thinks you followed too much of your own advice and got to drinking a bit too much rum!

Whether you can give credit to Obama for putting us in a better place today or not, giving Trump an opportunity to carry forward that momentum or not, whether you are liberal or conservative, you have to be something of a moron not to recognize how our lives are affected by these different forms of leadership and somewhat profound changes in direction, theoretical changes in any case.

Hopefully simple practicality, the rule of law, better minds and reality will ultimately prevail so we might all simply get back to that happy-go-lucky state of mind you seem to have adopted, like so many others convinced that Trump is going to "make America great again." Wish I could feel the same, but I'm still trying to understand what that means, the Tweets, pretty much all that is Trump.

Right. Pass the rum...

I'm always confused by your moniker,"tinytrump," in light of your comments. I guess you are not a mini-Trump or even a Trump supporter then. Right? Instead having something to do with Trump's pride in his big hands perhaps? Curious if not confusing in any case...

Thank you for this statement. My source of current anxiety arises from one of the things mentioned, and what is happening in Washington most certainly will have an effect on whether or not my situation degrades further. The stress is genuine, having a legitimately negative effect on my life, and not something I can just choose to shake off.
