<<This is a constitutional crisis. I have faith our process will "manage" this. But I find myself VERY upset reading your comment as well as many other reactions to exe. order How much more can I take? I see signs "whatever it takes to remove trump" that has so much negativity behind it. "Trump" is now a word like being "gay" was growing up. This is quite unhealthy for me. I compare it to second hand smoke before the surgeon generals report.

Two weeks ago, I had faith in the process. I'm rapidly losing that faith. Where I live, we have 30,000 Somali immigrants (and some of their US-born citizen children). I'm starting to think of what we would have to do to hide Somalis in our house to protect them from arrest and deportation. And you think you're upset? Why on Earth should I ever have to consider hiding people in my house, here in America?

  My wife and I were discussing similar scenarios over the weekend. She noted that as long as "we" can still have these discussions - as long as "we" still feel like we can have these discussions and do have these discussions (ie - we're not self-censoring or being censored by the govt) - then things are still working. I understand your position - do your best to continue "keeping the faith" in our institutions, people, citizens, etc. Ultimately, know you're not alone - that there are many others out there feeling the same as you, and somehow we will right the wrongs against our country and Constitution as required and needed.

Something very very bad is happening to our institutions. Resistance will be unpleasant and scary. Stay strong, stay close to your support system, and keep your eye on the ball.
