Has your sex life suffered US members?

People in Trump’s America are having worse sex — and it doing it less often

Of the 507 people polled, 34 percent said they’ve had less sex since November 2016 and 18 percent said they’ve enjoyed sex less since the election. Another 17 percent said their partners’ political views matter to them now — a “new consideration” in their dating lives that didn’t exist before.

This administration definitely is taking a toll on me and many, many of my friends. I will say that I've struggled more with warding off anxiety than I ever had in the past. The constant news about mass shootings--including ones that are so close together, the president misstates which victims to which he's sending thoughts and prayers--without any hope of Congress taking action has always stressed me out, but it's much, much worse now. I just feel hopeless. It's not just the big stuff--Twitter insults, health care repeal, etc., although all of that is terrible. But the lasting damage to the States is unbelievable. Completely unqualified idiots are getting lifetime appointments as federal judges, just because they are conservative and support Trump. They just announced they are reducing one of the national parks in Utah by 90%. They're rolling back environmental protections. They are stripping Title IX rights. Trump is pandering to dictators and tyrants, whom I genuinely believe represent the kind of leader he wants to be. He is undermining faith in America and destroying our reputation around the world. He sides with Putin over our intelligence community. He has zero moral compass. This administration is completely corrupt and greedy, and at no point do I believe they are putting America or Americans first.

I've never been particularly "America, fuck yeah!" and never have anything red, white, and blue to wear (barring birthdays celebrated in Brum with flag t-shirts!), but I generally felt okay about being an American. It definitely was better being an American under Obama's administration than Bush, but it was still fine. Now? I don't recognize who we are anymore. I've lost faith in our institutions and leaders. The fact that ANYONE is supporting Roy Moore's candidacy in Alabama--despite having multiple, credible accusers of sexual harassment and assault against teenage girls--is just devastating.

This is just the worst. TRUMP RUINS EVERYTHING.
 
the president misstates which victims to which he's sending thoughts and prayers

I'm glad you mentioned that, I left it out of the Trump thread because even I felt I was spamming it with story after story hence why I gave this one a stand alone.

But a President (any leader and anybody) who can't have the forethought to pay attention to 'where' whilst trying to be sincere??????

Probably too busy boasting about his success on trips abroad which no other President has done. Trump spent longer in Asia than Obama and that's a fact. Problem is Trump has made, what, 14 trips abroad and by this point in the calendar Obama had made 20.

Some cad pointed out he'd spent longer golfing, but Obama was the lazy one.

Clearly by lazy I mean 'black' in Trump speak.
 
As for the rest of your post Brownie, we've not had many dealings on the forum but JF (and others) speak highly of you in the respect they show, and like all our US brethren I feel for you.

I take the piss out of the US regularly, and I enjoy taking the piss out of Trump, or Drumph (sp) being the immigrant his family was, but it's easy for us to joke from this distance....you're living with it and even if he doesn't achieve much, the US is fragmented more than ever it appears across party lines and any tiny success his tiny hands can achieve hits you and your life.

Just try and maintain faith in one thing Trump has right.

He will Make America Great Again - America will in the majority rise against the batshit orange twat.

In terms of the US being seen as a laughing stock, from my angle only under Trump so it's Trump, not the US itself. The protests, the Women's March, the recent elections etc etc show the world there's a reason why you elect somebody with the most votes even if she was far from perfect herself.

What it does show is how batshit and power hungry at all costs the NRA/I need to have a bazooka/Republicans are and if Trump was a reaction from the racists to Obama, then I hope the US shows a similar reaction to the orange orangutan and people finally address the fact the Constitution is not perfect (that's why it's been amended going on 30 times already) and you get some real change.

Keep the faith - these things are sent to try us and Trump is fucking trying but his swamp will be drained in time.
