I would rather remember Trump for

[RAB910]

1. I want to remember him for that accomplishment

and I want the entire repug party to remember as well.

6. I don't want a republikan party AROUND to remember.

I want it SMASHED into little slimy puddles of toxic goo; I want the goo cleaned up with sponges, and then I want the sponges launched into the sun.

7. Whatever it's called, regressives, religionists, and racists will coalesce

around some specimen who promises to fulfill their dreams and the dark money from billionaires will by god flow to those execrable candidates.

14. Three parties coming: Rotting Elephant Carcass, MAGA Q GEOTUS, and Lincoln Project conservatives

In order of decreasing size.

It is possible that somebody like Hawley might seize MAGA Q GEOTUS if tRump releases his white knuckle grip on his trumpanzees at some point in the future. Maybe Lara tRump or possibly Junior. Not Princheska. They like her, but don't much respect her.

4. Let's hope it's true /nt

[Auggie]

5. Sociopath. Adulterer. Misogynist. Racist. Kleptocrat. Russian Operative. Seditionist. Murderer.

That's how I'll remember him.

Someday someone will prove rape and pedophilia. I'll add that to the list.

8. Be forewarned. It has not happened yet.

[marble falls]

9. Me, too. I'll remember him for hundreds of unnecessary dead from Covid and 600+ 'lost' children.

10. Well said! n/t

11. KA KA KABOOM!!!

12. I see what he did there

13. As a master class in ethical morality

For me, Trump is a master class in ethical morality, or the complete lack thereof. I actually feel sorry for him. He has wasted his life. He could have done so much good for people all over the world, but instead harmed millions of people. When he dies, the only thing that he will take with him is his mind, and what a mind that is -- filled with deep dark delusions, selfishness, negative emotions, and indifference to the well-being of others. He has confirmed for me the verity of Buddhist teachings about the path of compassion and wisdom. Let's not be afraid to flinch or run away, when we look at the ugly life of Donald Trump, but remain calm and present, as we see it with penetrating and discriminating wisdom. Let's take the life of Donald Trump into our path and learn something important that will be beneficial to ourselves and others -- namely how NOT to be.

16. K&R. Well said, Vlyons.

When I review the life of people like Trump, it needs to be a signal for me to look inward and inventory my own life. They provide examples for how our paths can go wrong.

With clarity and humility, I'm obviously not a good example of how it can go right either but I am willing to share my mistakes with others.

15. Trump may actually see it as an accomplishment in his warped world.

Who on earth could run a good a proper grift on a very boring, normal, rational, and functional political party?

I predict the Trump clan will eventually make a living off being right-wing media stars playing out their being victims and attempting to run for various political offices.

In the big picture, Trump has had little or no effect on the core of the Party. To my knowledge, Heritage Foundation, Koch Industries, American Enterprise and hundreds of evangelical megachurches (for example) are still in business.

He has done a damn good job of crumbling the Republican Party facade.
