It took a year to set in, but it's finally happened - I've lost my sense of shock about our so-called President's behavior, and my outrage has been depleted.  There's nothing left - I can't get angry anymore.

Oh look, in a blatantly racist outburst, he just referred to Haiti and some African nations as "shithole countries."

Oh look, new allegations that he paid a porn star $130,000 not to discolose whatever it was she had been set to disclose.  Two other porn stars are now implicated in the growing scandal as well.

A best-selling book paints him as mentally unstable and paranoid, out of touch with his own Administration if not reality itself.  In response, he called himself a "stable genius."

Politically, he's holding the Dreamers (children of illegal immigrants) hostage over his demands to fund an unnecessary and pointless border wall, even though he campaigned on the claim that Mexico for some reason was going to pay for that wall.

I could go on and on (Russia, emoluments, climate denial, etc.) but you know what?  I'm not even mad anymore.  I would be mad if I had expected anything better from him, but for the past year, every time I've lowered my expectations, this so-called President has sunk even lower.  I don't care.  I have no outrage left; I'm all burned out.  

Whatevs.
