Honestly, I’m glad to see the back of 2019, though alarmed at how fast time whizzes by, faster and faster, it seems, the older one gets, until it feels like you are a child in the back seat of your family car, speeding along the interstate to some destination, as the mile markers and trees are all just a blur.
Oh, to stop at a rest station, get out, stretch my legs, breathe deep of the refreshing air, and gaze out upon a scenic view. Those pauses are what has been sorely missing from my life. The stopping, breathing, taking in the scenic view…I’ve just been speeding along the highway, grown up now, driving the car myself, yet by no means in control of everything or much of anything. Passing all those rest stops, all those exits to beautiful places, wishing I could just get off the road and rest.
That about sums up the last few years, maybe decades, of my life. Hopefully, intentionally, maybe I’ll be able to slow the car down sometimes in the coming year, 2020. Maybe pull off the—cue AC/DC—Highway to Hell (lol), and stop at the scenic overlooks. Maybe just leave the car there for a good, long while and go off on an inviting trail. A path that calls to me, not a road I feel I have to be on to get somewhere, while all the trees and the world just whiz by like a blur.
Happy, Healthy 2020 to all. May we slow down our cars, pull over, take in the scenery, experience the present, and breathe.

Thank you, Democratic Majority In The House of Representatives, For Defending our Constitution and Rule of Law
45 has been impeached. I have known since he was but one candidate in the 2016 Republican field that this would happen if he became their nominee and got himself elected, which is why I said then that the RNC should disqualify him from their field (he was vowing to do something unconstitutional--banning all people from one religion from entering our country) before he even was their nominee. A POTUS is sworn to uphold and protect the constitution, which he or she cannot do whilst violating it.
I have always said I was 100% certain he would get himself impeached. I was told there was no way that would happen. Now it has.
Sadly, though, it seems that the Republican majority in the Senate is 100% complicit with 45 and thus he will not be removed in the Senate, which will be a profoundly tragic day in the history of our Republic, and for its future. It will set a terrible precedent that a POTUS is above the law.
The only silver lining in the likely tragedy of 45 not getting removed from office is that, if he remains in there, then whomever the Democratic nominee for President is in 2020 will surely win. But what exactly will he or she be Presiding over? What will our Republic be if the Senate does not remove this lawless POTUS?

Again, I submit to you: impeaching 45 is not partisan, it is the very definition of patriotic.
I've mused about this before but I just gotta say again: I find it incredible how 45 keeps insisting that impeaching him is a "partisan" thing, because--according to him--the Democratic Party/Democrats are so terrified to run against him. The reason that gets me so riled up is that it is, as are so many things that flow from 45's mouth, the exact OPPOSITE of the truth! If I, for example, as but one Democrat and American citizen, were acting in a partisan way, I would want and pray for 45 to remain in office until election day, as literally ANY of our candidates would easily defeat him in a yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge landslide! He is our dream to run against!
Instead, however, I fervently want him to be impeached and removed, because I'm a patriotic American first and I want what is best for and, in this case, necessary for the survival of, my dear, precious, priceless country, the US of A. We have nothing if we don't have our constitution and rule of law. THAT'S what getting this constitution-violating, lawless, treasonous sack of bile out of office is all about! It has zero to do with "partisanship"!
Depending upon how this plays out, the 2020 election could be a nightmare for my Democratic Party after impeachment of 45, and even before the election, we could have a very SCARY situation in the streets, frankly, because 45's supporters are rabid. Let's just be honest, everyone got mad at Hillary for her supposedly political incorrectness in ACCURATELY describing his complicit supporters as a "basket of deplorables". Well, I'm 100% with Hillary on that one--they ARE! And particularly anyone on this or any other planet who still supports him at this point. After kidnapped babies in for-profit concentration camps, and all the many ways he has violated the constitution and our laws, and divided our country, and worked to enrich himself and benefit an enemy foreign power which, clearly, he is compromised by, YES: that person/those people are completely DEPLORABLE in my eyes but omg I digress, where was I? Right: his supporters are rabid, cult-like loons and there is no telling what they will do, frankly, if he is impeached and removed, or resigns (which he would not do without inciting violence in our streets on his way out the door). If I were thinking as a "partisan", I'd say, leave this train wreck in the White House, avoid all of those potentials, and what a dream come true to run ANY of our candidates against him in 2020!
But no, I care about my country. I care about following the clear constitutional imperative to jettison this guy through the constitutional trap door that our founders wisely built in to get him out of the White House. Most of all, I care about NOT setting a precedent saying that a POTUS can be lawless and that's okay, and about preserving and protecting our rule of law and our constitution going forward. For they are what truly makes America great.
Impeaching 45 isn't partisan, it is patriotic. So, of course, he is currently running around saying that it is "unpatriotic". Because he is indeed the leader of Bizarro World/Opposite Land. Meanwhile, here in reality: HE HAS TO GO.

I'm off work today and seeing news that 45 is once again bringing shame on our country, attacking our allies, attacking our constitution, and being the best puppet Putin could have ever dreamed of. Useful idiots like 45 don't come along every day.
I know 45 makes us all (except his crazed, cult-like followers) ashamed, but just focus on the fact that there is an impeachment inquiry underway and he certainly will be impeached in the House. Hopefully, he will be removed by the Senate, but if not, at least history will show that many of our elected representatives tried to preserve and save our constitution and rule of law. At least history will now show that we, America, went down fighting.
