Our trying times

If only the news media could learn to lay off all those presidential tweets and find more creative ways to fill the entertainment void that would inevitably follow.

Anything to take our minds off the senseless chatter that originates in the vast emptiness of Trump's subconscious, where the truth is often suppressed in favor of conspiracy theories.

I've learned the hard way that my mental health is more important than keeping up with the latest "breaking news." And, who knows, ignorance just might become a fashionable way to avoid the painful reality of these trying times.
