I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

"Constitutional rot" is a misnomer, and so is "infection." We could call it different words to make ourselves feel better, but we'd be deluding ourselves. Again. Sure we can laugh at Trump's ineffective (so far) attempts to stop Mueller and divert our attention away from actually important things with daily scandals. But I still remember laughing at candidate Trump, then at the nominee.
Yeah, I ain't laughing any more. Trump has already caused the crisis, and the GOP is complicit in undermining every article and amendment of the Constitution that doesn't serve their end goal - total eradication of representative democracy and installing theocracy/corporatocracy.
