I hear you, Idon. Most of what this “admin” has been doing is rage inducing AND harmful, and what astounds me day after day is that there seems to be no way to stop them. At least I haven’t heard of anything that is not months, if not years, along the way. The helplessness that I feel weighs heavily on the spirit. I wonder if there will be much left of the Us by the time a major election rolls around. To be honest, I sometimes feel like there’s no point to the media sharing the GOP & their leader’s unending stream of hatred and destruction, because the stories rarely ever/also highlight options that would make a difference in a particular case. How much of the sky has to fall on us all before a definite way out is pushed/offered/encouraged? I don’t get it.

Trump also said he was weighing the case of Martha Stewart, the author and television personality, who was convicted in 2004 of obstructing justice and lying to investigators about a well-timed stock sale.
