I can't WAIT for the day when no one is discussing Mango Mussolini anymore

[Novara]

Jeebus, I am sick to death of that motherfucker. I can't wait until he's either dead or in prison and no one talks about him anymore. That would be the best revenge - to be utterly forgotten, unimportant, a footnote. Nobody cares anymore. Everyone has moved on. Can you imagine?

There are so many important things in the world to consider and I am so sick of his malignant drama overtaking this country since 2016. It feels kind of like being stuck in a fucked-up family with a constantly drunk parent and the entire family has to constantly tiptoe around him, and every single thing revolves around him. Feels like we'll never be free of him.

[Siwsan]

1. History will lump him in with the nefarious

I find myself feeling sorry for his young grandchildren. What a horrific legacy to carry.

[Novara]

3. You know, I keep hearing "history will not be kind..."

And it's no comfort at all. We're still in the middle of his utter destruction. He's like a family annihilator. If he can't be president, he'll burn the entire country down.

[Siwsan]

7. Watching him finally face consequences, and HOPEFULLY seeing his downfall, that's priceless

I am cursed with being a student of history. I won't be there to hear what people in the future will say but that doesn't stop me from being glad it won't be anything positive.

And the strong odds that he's going to be taking his 3 oldest progeny down with him, along with a myriad of other miscreants - most satisfying.

20. Spiro Agnew.

Some of us are old enough that we do not have to wait for history.

We laughed at him. We reviled him. We were repulsed that someone who took bribes was a heartbeat away from the oval office.

We got him. Just in time.

I am too old and possibly too ill to wait for history this time. I have to be content that we are on our way. I raised my children to be good activists and voters. They will know what they are seeing. It is the best we can do.

[PJMcK]

2. Trump will not be forgotten

One way or another, Trump has made an indelible mark on U.S. history.

[FalloutShelter]

5. He will supplant Benedict Arnold

As the biggest traitor in American history. So yes, his name will never be forgotten…. It will be synonymous with being a traitor to one’s country to the end of time.

[PJMcK]

6. Unless we lose

This isn't over yet. Not by a long shot.

If Democrats don't win this war, Trump could be remembered with reverence, especially if the Christo-fascists take over.

[FalloutShelter]

10. He IS a traitor.

The truth will out.

[rubbersole]

4. He is clickbait for the profit driven media.

[Novara]

9. They are responsible

They treated this all like it was a spectacle rather than be horrified at the awfulness of him as a person. They kept chasing the shiny object and amplifying the worst, just to make money.

Can you imagine if the media was as horrified by him as the rest of us were from the beginning?

[JuJuChen]

8. this board would be paper thin when that happens, everyone on this board watches the train wreck

[FalloutShelter]

11. Pardon me, but that is nonsense.

This has been a vibrant Democratic community before Trump and it will be after Trump.
JMHO

[IbogaProject]

22. This board is broad

We just see a selection on the various parts of the front page. That will shift but then we will move onto hopefully more proacticlve topics. I hope we expand Congress and the Senate and then let's see how far Joe Biden might surprise us going to.

[dalton99a]

28. DU has existed long before Trump came down the elevator

[FakeNoose]

12. I know exactly what you mean my friend!

If it's any consolation, we had a long recovery-time from the Nixon debacle. Watergate the main focus of course, but he had many other sins as well. Also it took us at least a couple of years to finally get over Reagan, and Dubya.

But Chump is in a class of his own. We're all completely sick of him, but he won't go away. It's like a bad marriage and he won't accept that he's being divorced. We've already kicked him out, but he's still out there, pounding on the door.

[Novara]

13. He's out there with a GUN, pounding on the door

He's still got America hostage. And we will remain as his hostages until there is some justice.

For a long time I've been preaching patience, just be patient, his crimes will catch up to him. Now that the FBI had to go in to take government property back, I want him in prison NOW. He's had America's secrets for 19 months. Fuck knows what he's already sold off.

[snowybirdie]

14. I agree

Wish he and all his fools would go away

[Doc Sportello]

15. All the authorities taking on his crimes is great

But a downside - and it's nothing compared to his crimes and stain upon the country - is that not only do we have to hear about him but they keep showing that ugly visage over and over and over - as if we didn't know what the vile POS looks like. I know it's basically unavoidable if you take in media (and everyone here does) but I am so sick of seeing that human grotesquery. We KNOW what it looks like. I guess it's just reflex on the part of tv producers and newspaper and online content producers to use an image, but think out of the box and just say no.

[magicarpet]

16. The maddeningly theatrical renditions found on Reality TV have been,...

.... brought to life and entered our daily discourse haunting and taunting us day in and day out and polluted our daily lives - thanks to Donald J. trDUMP.

[nancy1942]

17. I totally agree.

I just want him gone. God I am so sick of the freak.

[sir pball]

18. It's been 250 years and we still discuss Benedict Arnold

Don't expect this to pass in your lifetime.

[sarisataka]

19. The irony is

The person we never want to hear of again has been the #1 topic of conversation for over seven years.

[twodogsbarking]

21. Some days there was no mention of TFG. Then.............

[IronLionZion]

23. I want him to die penniless in prison

[llashram]

24. toxic, toxic, toxic nation

all because the ex-first grifter can't stop conning his base for millions to pay his attorney fees and eventual fines. What a family of lowlifes to have cursed this nation with their presence...

[judesedit]

25. I'm with you

[Sympthsical]

26. I have a filter on his name here

Of course, recent events are proving it impossible to avoid.

But there's no reason to talk about him (or anyone) all day long. Note his shit, move on.

Cable news anchors are paid to spend hours and hours discussing him. I'm not.

Sometimes I wonder if people are being hostaged onto social media at gun point.

[RevBrotherThomas]

27. After he finally croaks...

... I believe the spell will finally be on its way to being broken. None of his idiot spawn will be able to take up the mantle. And there are none in the GQP that have the money, legal apparatus and/or lowbrow charisma to keep it alive.

[msfiddlestix]

29. Boy Howdy, Amen to that! Sick to fucking death.

And yes, you're absolutely correct in my view. The best revenge, and a much healthier nation is to quit him and his cult followers.

Sometimes it feels like we're engaged in some sort of weird process of "breaking up" with a thug we just can't let go of.

It's a very weird psycho drama thing, and I believe the MEDIA at large, plays a vey significant role in this.

But so do we.

Part of my angst for the quickly approaching 2 years, is that the psychopath in chief had been allowed to remain freely able to continue his psychotic reign of terror and grift at the same time with no consequences, until now. (I hope)

Possibly, just possibly this nightmare is about to end. Or at least be mitigated greatly. And then maybe we can be a functioning civil society to the extent possible under the conditions we're living in.

I hope.

[Rebl2]

30. I so

agree. One of the biggest mistakes was for nbc to give him a show. I also remember him being mentioned several times on Designing Women back in the eighties. I was disgusted by him then. Figured he was just another rich player.

[Heather MC]

31. As soon as the media stops talking about Donald Trump, he will cease to exist

All they have to say is "in other news....."
And never bring him up again, not even in a where are they now just stop talking about the guy

[TeamProg]

32. I tell my wife this at least once a week. We've got a lot more serious stuff to deal with.

Trump is a simultaneiously an energy drain, a cancer and mental illness wrapped up in a freezer-burned moldy piece of Kentucky Fried.

[Novara]

38. Couldn't have put that any more succinctly.

[Traildogbob]

33. It's the stain

We will never erase. You can be sure all those removed confederate statues will be replaced with trump statues in the reddest of states. Of all the many stains we have spilled onto the flag, this one is like used motor oil, wine, blood, ketchup all mixed together and ground into the fabric of the flag. I swear if that mug is ever placed on a portrait in the White House, the shit on the capital walls would be more tolerable. He would prefer the image of him on Stallone’s body “ground” into the fabric of MAGA flags to be hung in the White House.

[maxsolomon]

34. It will happen after 2 things:

1. He loses in 2024. After that, his act becomes a sad joke even to most of his voters.
2. He dies. That will shut him up, and after a short period of gloating (I'll be at the front of that line) and false-memory hagiography from the right, it will become embarrassing to discuss him. No repuke one will want to be associated with his charmless, toxic memory.

#1 is 27 months away.
#2, i give him 10 years, tops. and dementia could shut him up far sooner.

[TheBeam19]

35. I was hoping to wake up this morning and

find out that he had fled the country.

[ancianita]

36. AMEN.

I want the boring peace of government humming along, doing its job, gettin' shit done.

I want freedom from trauma caused by autocrats, their violent followers and spiteful party leadership.

[Johnny2X2X]

37. We're going to be talking about him for the rest of the history of this country

Unreal what is happening.
