I'm so sick of the "trump show" I could die!!! After he's defeated I don't want to hear or see his face or name anywhere, unless it's in the context of being tried and punished for his crimes!!!!!

He'll be implementing his scorched earth policy, à la Hitler in the bunker, fucking up everything he can before he's booted out.

It was great when Obama was president because I didn't feel like I had to keep 'doomscrolling' (term someone else mentioned) to keep up with the news on this constant shitshow rollercoaster of a state he has this country in.

I admit, I did it a lot with W, and it felt so good not to have to with Obama - but nothing has been as stressful as *rump.

Maybe we can feel civil and less stressed again once we have Biden at the helm.

You know that unspoken courtesy Ex-Presidents give to current Presidents by not sticking their nose or opinion into current events. Another norm which will go out the window with Trump. He will be on Fox News every chance he can get bloviating and criticizing everything Biden does. And he will be tweeting every hour in between. We will never be rid of him until the majority of Americans grow tired of his insanity and just stop listening.

That would reduce the offense about 50% but some martyrs for the cause...
