Seems like we've been living this alternate reality since Kennedy got assassinated.

Because one thing I don’t do is drown myself in news and cable TV programs.

I work part-time.

I serve on non-profit Boards.

I get together with friends.

I watch light and fluffy TV shows.

It's enough already. Once there are actual indictments or televised Jan. 6th hearings, ok.

But I do not ever need to be apprised of every waking breath the man and everyone in his orbit takes. It's not interesting, it's not helpful, it's not really even informative. Information has to be useful in some way, and most of what gets passed around daily is forgotten by the very next day.

The man is not worthy of this obsession. Attention is all he craves, so I don't see why some people need to forever oblige him.

That said, this is highlighting I should probably trash "TFG". So, after this post, I'll be doing exactly that.

Seriously, DU reads almost like an entirely different website after that one change. It's crazy how much content is just regurgitated Trump stuff all day long.

My mother that passed away in 2012 could not stand to even look at him. But 70 something
million people voted for him.

I thought about what an opera or musical about Joe Biden would be like. No ideas. But as for orange julius, well, I can't write down ideas as fast as they come. He's every operatic and dramatic villain, every bozo, dumb and dumberest. He's the cat tipping over the Christmas tree and biting the extension cord in a burst of flames. He's Itchy and Scratchy. Yes, a caricature.

Joe Biden just does his job. Nothing viral about that to light up TikTok, so that editors have to lead with it. People just want "The News that will amuse" you.

Is there any choice out there?

P.S. I take LULZ to mean “LOL derived from others’ suffering”

They need to stop putting his every word on tv etc. He is revolting beyond anything words could describe. They need to do what they should have done when he was allowed to run for office which is to call him out for what he is, a fascist and now a mass murderer, a criminal on so many levels, who has done severe damage to this country and to the world. And who should be in jail now. But of course they won’t.

People should be deeply disturbed by what has happened.

I have no faith he will ever be held accountable for the millions he murdered or for anything tbt.

Sticking your head in the sand by ignoring the situation is not the answer either imo.

The TFG is pissed as evidenced by his crazy statements make me happy

For example, the latest attack by TFG is so bad that it is funny
