The Mueller Report

I just watched the Barr press conference.  I don't know why, but I still held tightly to the hope that

SOMEONE was going to tell the truth; that someone would stand up for what is right.

I think that is the worst of this who Trump experience.  We keep hoping things will get better.  We keep hoping the American people will come around.  We keep hoping...and we keep getting beaten down.

A full range of emotion now.  Anger, mostly, and frustration are leading the pack.  I also am feeling an incredible amount of loss.  I feel, once again, that I have lost my country.  I certainly have lost respect for it.

The America I know and love would have jumped at the chance to skewer Trump, even before he was "elected".  The America I know and love would have acted more appropriately.  Quite frankly, the America I know would have seen some hothead shoot Trump long before now.

That America no longer exists.  America now sits back and watches, waiting for "somebody to do something".  Too many people want to believe the lies so they don't feel the anger and loss that is more appropriate.  They just don't want to feel bad.  I get it.

But there comes a time when hiding your head in the sand is just not acceptable.  People, including Trump supporters, need to acknowledge that the economy is NOT better.  His "numbers" are NOT higher.  Taxes for the average person are NOT lower.  Heath care coverage and affordability is NOT better.  Civil rights are dropping like flies.

I ache for the post 9-11 days.  As horrible as the incident was, at least Americans were working together.  At least Americans were kind to each other.

My country is dead.  Is it beyond saving?  Maybe.  As Trump posted on Twitter:
