My neighbor spends half the year in Greece.(his wife is Greek).He tells me that they simply can't believe what is going on in America in that Trump is a coin flip from being elected again. From what I have read, this is the same general feeling in Europe. As Tom Nichols has repeatedly said;"We are not a serious nation". Should we elect a moral less,con man and a crook as President again after knowing all about him, then we Americans are indeed failures. Sorry to be such a Debby downer here.

No I'm constantly amazed. I truly believe Fox News and it's counterparts have used state of the art brainwashing techniques to convince millions of mostly good people that Trump is credible choice for president.

I am so deeply ashamed to be an American right now. When I think about the ideals of our founding, how we rehabilitated Japan and Europe through the Marshall Plan, how we were rightly the beacon of hope for so many around the world who sought to come here for a better life for their families, and how we are rightly seen now by the free world, I want to weep.

I've always thought that The Marshall plan to rebuild Europe after WWll is this country's greatest accomplishment.( second to our founding).I feel that a second Trump Presidency would be devastating To NATO and all our other allies.

No need to apologize. It seems anymore that each and every day I manage to read a headline somewhere that ruins my day.

I always try to stay upbeat but every once in a while I get that JVL tendency to get dark. (which I fight)
