Sometimes, I am ashamed of my country. This is one of those times.

I know it's not everyone's fault, I know that many many many people have fought. But moments like this make me really wonder if the hope is gone. I used to work watching television news for 8 hours a day. I've seen the slow decay to where we are now. And some days I just find it hard
@carver @MorningMoon
Ok, I understand. But a little perspective might serve. Yes a whiney little frat boy is on the Supreme Court. But think back to 1941 and 42. The world really was in a dark time and guess what? We prevailed, as we will now. Lift up you heart mate, all will come right.
@Steve3762 @carver While I agree with your premise, those of us who have been sexually assaulted have a different perspective. Putting a probable attacker on the SC is a really tough blow and a slap in the face by our government. That's hard when you are midstream in a battle to prevent this moron in the WH from starting another world war.
@MorningMoon @carver
Yep, I really did miss the personal perspective there. Sorry.
@Steve3762 @carver π With all the clamor it's easy to do. No apology necessary.
@carver @Steve3762 Back at cha'π
@carver @Steve3762 I completely understand. It is terrifying. I was raised by a Nazi and a religious fanatic. For 35 years I lived everyday of my life under a canopy of emotional suppression. It was 35 years of struggling to hold onto my inner strength. Then I fought back and learned how a free life really is. As bad as it is, it is not over.
@carver
Nah mate. Not country, just the political system.
@carver Try to remember this is not the country. This is a small group of amoral monsters. Millions have called, written and protested. 650 elite law professors, thousands of churches of every denomination and so on and so on, have stood up to fight this. 51 dirty politicians did this. This country will do everything in it's power to make eliminate their jobs.
