A quote by Thomas Paine, to help raise your spirits.

" Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered. Yet we have the consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."

When we remove Trump that will be a Glorious moment we will all celebrate with great passion. When we remove Trump, Individual 1 will be indicted, hopefully more than once. Retribution will be the order of the day. The law will not forget, justice will not forget.

We are all suffering mightily today, our glorious moment will one day arrive and it will be great celebration heard around the world.

but i remember it so clearly because i drove all the way to my mother's house to gloat and she ruined it for me by weeping and claiming he was the best president we ever had.
hate to say it, but i am afraid if she was still alive we would no longer have a relationship, thanks to fox news and her inherent racism and fealty to being a republican.
at the end of the day my glee over his downfall was swamped by my mother's grief.

12. I remember running out to my mosquito-infested yard with a neighbor girl

and being doubled over with laughter for a good half hour. We were 13 then and the bugs didn't matter.

I'm afraid that motherfucker will outlive me, and i know the damage he's doing every day definitely will. i don't expect to last a whole other generation let alone 3, 4, or 5.

10. I'm concerned that ex-President Trump will be let off the hook "for the good of the country."

That *must not* be allowed to happen. Trump has never done anything for the good of the country that didn't also benefit him directly. He has no remorse and no deserves no mercy. Let him die in solitary confinement.

11. I do not believe that. The next Democratic president will not personally go after Trump, however

the new AG, new prosecutors are required under the law to investigate crimes. All the investigations that have been blocked or are being blocked, will be opened up.

Trump has already been named in a crime as Individual 1. Trumps taxes, bank records will be investigated fully. Trump will be in court the rest of his worthless life and hopefully sent to prison.

He'll just charge for his rallies

Evangelist Trump will pick his rubes clean while disparaging the dems

14. The sheer, unbridled joy I felt on Election Night 2008 was almost worth the hell of GWB.

Oh to feel such joy again...
