Dear Trump appointees bending the ears of reporters with sob stories about the anguish you feel over the choices you made, I hope you really do feel that anguish and I hope it haunts you for the rest of your miserable lives. May God have mercy on your souls.

(18,672 posts)There is a great reckoning coming. We have an empathetic President-Elect soon to be President who is going to "Sharpie" the Trump crimes by the contrast of his sure goodness and highly calibrated moral compass. The people who participated in this evil are going to realize what they've done. They will either dig in and do worse, or have to live with realizing they are absolute shit human beings who caused insurmountable pain and death.

(51,627 posts)swearing for hours, really. I keep hearing about how these terrible GOP disciples are continuing to perform his evil deeds despite the election. I don't know how to contain my anger and sorrow. When will this end? McConnell, Graham, and now "Murphy"?!? Who the fuck is this Murphy woman and how the Hell can she hold up the election certification? Is this real? Is this 2020? What is going on with these people???!?!?!?

(18,672 posts)I had to set aside most of my anger and grief and just observe this with the perspective that human civilization has had this same struggle since the beginning of time, and good does come out on top eventually. I don't think I'd be able to function otherwise. Also, there is a lot of uplifting stuff going on, but news is geared to elicit a deep gut reaction from you. The key is to be mindful of this and try not to allow oneself to be manipulated by headlines and stories meant to trigger your adrenal system (it's like an addictive drug being shot up through your veins).
Just know President Biden WILL be sworn in on 1/20/2021. There are thousands if not millions of us out there who will not allow our Democracy to fail without a fight. Anyone who has been keeping tabs on politics in the past 40 years saw this culminating. I was hoping later rather than sooner, but it's done and we need to deal with it now or else suffer the consequences. Try to be happy that Biden/Harris won. Don't let the people who are hellbent on being the horrible human beings they've chosen to be take that away from you.

(51,627 posts)Since I am not very knowledgable about politics I feel like I am always trying to learn and catch up, then when I finally feel that I understand the system, they screw it up again some how and I am confused all over again. I wish they would just stop and acceptdefeat. We must move on together to beat Covid. This is a health issue more than a political one and they are still playing politics.

(18,672 posts)And it's easier said than done to not let what we are seeing deeply affect us. I have to keep checking myself, because the stuff Trump, MAGA's and the GOP are doing is rage-inducing. The cruelty is heartbreaking. You'd have to be a stone not to let it affect you i some way.

(18,672 posts)I scare myself sometimes I've been so angry. I've also cried, too, because of the cruelty. It's too much! To see fellow Americans behave like this. It's shameful. You are definitely not alone.

(35,725 posts)Who held that job in the Obama administration? Yes, he was sympathetic to her.

(51,627 posts)I certainly don't need to hear sympathy for that loser (I could call her a lot worse, easily..and she deserves it in spades too). No CNN for me if that's their position on things. FU

(2,590 posts)I couldnt help but think, does the post mean that he lives in a glass house or not. And then I realized that someone who calls themselves BigmanPigman is impervious to stones.

(51,627 posts)It is sort of meant for tRrmp and the fat cats, bigmen/pigmen who are full of shit. We all know they are full of shit and so do they but they don't care, that is why they are pig-men. Never enough, charades of their own making. Both of my little doggos loved Pink Floyd.
