i have not been able to write since early may when i heard about children being taken from their parents at the border.  my claws came out and i could not retract them, which means my efforts to type resulted in getting said claws wedged into the cracks beside the keys.  i typed F U over and over and over and couldn’t get to C K.  so i gave up.  and then i trimmed my nails.  and now i’ll gnaw my toes off if necessary to say what i need to say, which is what the hell is going on in this country?  have the testicles of the entire gop ascended in unison?  why has no one rebuked the traitor in chief?  i’ve heard chatter that putin must have something on trump that keeps him in thrall, and that makes me wonder what trump has on republican senators that they refuse to say anything about the colossal betrayal of our nation that happened yesterday.  i think of the young people in uniform that are risking their lives for our freedom; does their sacrifice mean nothing to the president?  and what about the patriots that have already given their lives; our brothers and sisters, our fathers and grandfathers?  did they die so our democracy could be abused and dismantled in the first two years of this president’s term?  i think of the hideous rhetoric that has been used during trump’s campaign and since the election; rhetoric by his supporters and by his detractors, how we have become so terribly divided since 2016 and all because each and every one of us loves our country and wants to ensure its future, and yet yesterday, mr. trump pulled down his pants and took a big shit on all of us, because he thinks the lying, murdering, fascist leader of russia is more reliable and honorable than his own intelligence community and his own people.  trump has betrayed everything we stand for as a nation, regardless of our politics, and unless he is stopped now, the madness will continue and ours days as the land of the free and the home of the brave will end.  wake up, y’all.  this shit is real.  мяу черт его
