I have been in my house since early March, but I feel more anxious than ever due to the unlawful occupant of the White House. I am so hoping that after November we can have a somewhat calm spring of 2021. I know the orange wonder will be out there stirring up trouble on Fox, Facebook and Twitter, but I trust that Biden will sick the DOJ after him and keep him busy. I need some peace!

(12,265 posts)I feel even more unsafe because people here all think it is a hoax so they do not mask. My husband is healthy and younger so he goes to the store for me.

(12,265 posts)He never missed Mass, he said it gave him peace. I would never have been able to keep him home if he were still here. I am 65 and was told in very strong terms that this virus would kill me if I get it. I do what I am told .

(12,265 posts)In the early 60's. I went with her most of the time except to Selma she was worried about my safety. She would be so angry about what happened to Mr. Floyd. I want to march in her honor so badly. My niece and her kids marched Saturday in Chicago with a sign saying the were marching for me and my Mom. They had other great signs.
I understand no justice no peace.

(4,845 posts)You are right about Trump and the republicans will be kicking and screaming on fox and other media. But they were always kicking and screaming during the Obama years and other outlets (and thus for me) can mostly ignore them and have peace and quiet. They are currently much louder because the resident of the white house is amplifying their message. As much as I hate to give any weight to what he says, what a POTUS says still carries a lot of weight around the world and thus is important news to be covered.
Just having an actual adult as president will give me confidence to have peace and quiet. I am sure the MSM will go back to pre-Trump type of coverage. I really really hate the 24/7 Trump (even negative coverage) that the MSM has been doing since 2015. I miss the days when news programs are mostly about local and global issues, rather than just Trump 24/7.
