You know, I'm feeling good

[Aviation Pro]

Because after the initial shock, I realize that everything going forward will be completely on Motherfucker.

Everything.

And the price will be terrible on his fat fucking head.

[Ocelot II]

1. It's gonna suck but he'll own all of it.

[MiniMe]

18. Do you not know tRump? He won't own any of it

None of it will be his fault

[uponit7771]

2. Yep, it was a shit show with halfway competent people beside him now he'll have a 100 percent clowns and madmen

[Aviation Pro]

6. Just wait until that Loose Banana Cannon

Fucks up the DoJ.

[uponit7771]

27. THIS !!! DOJ and Garland failed this country big time

[GoreWon2000]

55. I agree.

They wasted 18 months before starting their investigation and they didn't start it until after the Congressional 1/6 committee shamed them into it. Let's also not forget that that their was never an investigation of the "Brooks Brothers" riot from 2000 that was the catalyst for 1/6/21.

[yourout]

3. The problem is he will play his suckers by pissing on them..

And get them to buy his $200 Trump umbrellas by telling them it's raining.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. Lawrence O'Donnell has a way of talking me down.

Telling me in his calm manner that anything he does to hurt the American people like exploding inflation, job losses, grocery and gas shortages, seeing their work schedules change, stagnant wages, they will revolt. Even the ones who voted for him. So the attention will be on him and NOT in a good way.

We will also see how often he takes AF1 down to MaL for the weekends like he did the first time. He will whine because he can't play golf on the weekends.

[littlemissmartypants]

25. Looks interesting. Thanks. ❤️

[Ocelot II]

51. I was just thinking about that movie this afternoon -

that awareness of impending doom that you can't do anything to prevent.

[Cha]

22. Thanks for that. it made me feel better..

Somebody mentioned in another thread about "Blue States" that he world go after them.. of Course.

But I'm wondering what the Blue States are going to do to fight the Fascist Asshole?

I hope some things can be done.. he's vicous and insane but Blue Govs are Smarter.

[pstokely]

5. so he will he blame?

and who will the media blame?

[pat_k]

7. And we have more than 2 months to process and get our breath.

One question I want to think about related to the immediate future: Is there something that would be worthwhile lobbying the lame duck Senate to do?

And, in the longer view. I live in Washington State. What reforms should we focused on here to help make the state a model of what a progressive state can accomplish for it's people -- all it's people, red and blue. Is there some healing or outreach needed here? Are there "red county" issues we are overlooking or undervaluing? Can solutions be found?

I don't know. Just some random thoughts about how to stay sane and engaged. I am physically incapable of watching media coverage of DT. I need some sort of strategy to somehow stay plugged in enough to know what's up with the resistance without making myself ill. I may need to find battles closer to home.

[wryter2000]

53. I know

I'd gotten to where I could look at his face and hear his voice because I thought we'd finally be rid of him (except for appearances in court rooms). Now? I don't know how I can avoid him.

[pat_k]

63. When confronted with a surprise image. . .

. . . I find I'm doing what I do when confronted with a gory or otherwise hard to watch scene when watching a movie or series -- I hold up my hand to block my view of the worst of it. My partner made fun of me no end for that. I'm avoiding news but when he does pop up when surfing, up my hand goes. Ridiculous I know, but it is what it is.

MSNBC has an audio option I might try:
https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/msnbc-live-audio-listen-msnbc-live-stream-audio-all-day-n1239787

[Skittles]

8. you don't get it

rightwing male repukes are treated with a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STANDARD than Dems

his failures are always "whitewashed":

[Aviation Pro]

11. Beg to differ

I do get it. MAGAts will suffer the worst.

[Skittles]

13. which is what exactly?

Trump is ALREADY on the lists of the WORST PRESIDENT EVER - it did not hurt him ONE BIT

[W_HAMILTON]

20. But the same way Republican lies and propaganda made voters believe that the price of McDouble was all Biden's fault...

...and that the solution was to turn back to the worst president in our nation's history will be the same Republican lies and propaganda that will explain away all the inevitable terribleness that is to come with another Trump administration.

I don't know what the answer is to this. The sad fact is a plurality -- if not a majority -- of voters are more inclined to believe lies from the biggest liars that exist as opposed to objective truth. Like that one idiot that said she voted for Donald Trump because he wouldn't ban abortion -- how do you combat that level of ignorance? How?

[Tommymac]

61. Propaganda. Homeschooling. Addiction to Social Media. Cristofascism

The Left has no viable infrastructure in place large enough, or enough $$$, to effectively combat these things on a mass scale. The Authoritarian Billionaires have been setting up this wicked scenario since the 1960's; when President Johnson and his Great Society efforts to end discrimination and promote equality among the races and sexes were started.

We on the Left need to get our heads out of each others posteriors and face the fact that we have been outmaneuvered for over 60 years.

Indeed, we have lost our Democracy. It will be generations, and a lot of good people's blood, before we can resurrect it.

[hatrack]

37. And they'll blame Democrats. They'll blame immigrants. They'll blame gays. They'll blame Jews.

And then they'll start murdering them, with a wink and a nod from Shitstain and his entourage.

But they will never, ever, EVER blame the Glorious Leader. That's not how cults work.

[Elessar Zappa]

44. But 40% of his voters aren't really MAGA cultists.

About 30% total of voters are MAGA.

[hatrack]

45. And in terms of practical effect, what is the difference? None at all.

The Flaming Dragon Boat Of Shit has been launched, on time and on fire.

And now, those who helped build and launch it don't get to plead that they're not those "bad MAGA Trump voters" - that helps the burning and the sinking not at all.

It's a little bit of Charmin with which to wipe the dung from their consciences, at best.

[Elessar Zappa]

46. Just that some of his supporters

are capable of potentially punishing him politically.

[hatrack]

47. I'll believe it when I see it in the midterms (assuming they happen, of course).

.

[Skittles]

59. let me clarify

if you voted for Trump a SECOND TIME, YOU BELIEVE IN FASCISM......NO QUESTION

[Skittles]

57. IT DOESN"T MATTER

they suffered under him last time, AND STILL FOUND A WAY TO BLAME DEMS

[GoreWon2000]

56. I agree.

[TheKentuckian]

9. How much do you have to put with that everything on him to buy a cup of coffee?

What terrible price would that be?

[Jack Valentino]

10. It's a lot easier to be the opposition, especially if you follow the Republican formula...

All you have to do is BLAME, BLAME, BLAME--- and Trump is likely to supply plenty of ammunition...
No realistic solutions are required--- just ATTACK and BLAME BLAME BLAME!

Also, it is possibly more fun than being obliged to defend your own office-holders...


ALSO, the price of Doritos STILL has not gone down--- WTF, DonOLD ???

[In It to Win It]

12. Same. My initial shock wore off in 5 minutes.

They complain about the wars, and now if they don’t stop (which I doubt they will), you have no one else to blame.

You want to complain about the price of gas going up 10 cents, you have no one else to blame.

You wanna complain about the price of eggs going up a dollar? You have no one else to blame.

Everything about the post pandemic economy that they’ve been nagging and complaining about that they believe will be fixed with Trump, if things get worse from here, they have no one else to blame.

I know one thing! They can’t blame Biden anymore.

Good luck with your dictator!

[travelingthrulife]

16. they will never blame him or themselves.

It will ALWAYS be the fault of Democrats. they are liars and will continue to lie.

[Solomon]

32. They will continue to blame Biden. I can hear it now, "I inherited the worse economy".

[durablend]

39. "Then why the fuck haven't you fixed it already"

See, two can play that game

[Skittles]

60. THEY NEVER ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING

IT IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT!!!

[LizBeth]

15. We may all feel the stupid but we will be informed

See what is coming and hopefully ash while the stupid blindly do not see and get a whop upside the head. I kinda came to where you are. I think”I feel good”is a little strong but I accept and that works for me and anxiety

[JohnSJ]

17. In two years there will be midterms. If during the next two years the

probability that he will screw up is high, as his mishandling of Covid was.

The midterm elections will be an indicator just how durable our Democracy is.

[Polybius]

19. At least we never have too worry about him running again

Vance can't fire up crowds like Trump can, they won't get out the vote for him in droves.

[Deminpenn]

35. Yep. Trump is unique, in a bad way, in his ability

to attract voters. Other pols who try the same rhetoric inevitably lose, like Mastriano here in PA and Robinson in NC. When those same ideas come out of someone else's mouth, voters overwhelmingly reject it.

[Polybius]

41. Charisma and humor are other attributes

Trump has weird charisma, firing up crowds and all, and is not camera shy at all. Many also find his childish humor funny. Mastriano and Robinson don't have charisma or humor.

Kari Lake matches his charisma, but she's not as funny to them (slightly though, when she talks about BDE). That's why she "almost" wins every time, unlike those two stuffed shirts that you mentioned.

[Deminpenn]

43. Trump is a showman as much as anything

In that respect, he's similar to Reagan. His followers come for the show. They didn't show up as much recently because his act got stale. I do have say the joke about the last mic he tried to kill was Pence was pretty funny and a clever pun on the pronunciation of word "mic". I read in a recent article that his fans don't believe most of what he says. Trump has a knack for reading a room, too. An amateur psychologist might say this was how he survived a domineering father.

I'd bet that if Biden had offered him a full pardon for crimes past, present and future plus his own new TV show in return for dropping out and never running for elected office again, Trump would've jumped on it.

[GoreWon2000]

58. He won't leave and there'll be no

more elections.

[Trueblue1968]

21. Yeah sure, but what if they put me in a concentration camp cuz i take part in a peaceful march ??????

[mahina]

23. I sure wish I felt better about it, but I'm glad you're OK

I feel like the games of chess that I used to play with my Dad now mean a whole different thing now that I've seen a king be captured by a foreign power. Ugh.

[FHRRK]

24. just spent an hour on tiktok

The overwhelming meme from liberals was exacly this.

Fuck them, you own it!

One about lifeguard training where you learn you may have to let go of someone becuase they are thrashing around. Ended with, you are on your own republicans, don't expect help.

Another with a Mexican male that voted for tRump and then today the MAGAt neighbor sent the hispanics to thier side of the street and told them they can't be playing with the MAGAt tots!

[AKwannabe]

28. Hahaha. Not

And I am not trying to be mean or take your heart felt comment simply.

I have just been there and seen that DJT is in fact above the law. Incredibly above the law.

I am going to start breaking laws too
Ones I can get away with.

And I ain’t paying any more taxes either!
Fuck them

No taxes paid by me.
Changed my W-2 already.
Won’t get tabs for vehicles etc
They can fuck right off my money!!

I am not getting ACA this year. I am not filing taxes for at least four years.

Fuck them. They ain’t gettin my money no more!

[yardwork]

38. Please be careful and strategic.

If you don't pay taxes, the IRS will find ways to get it, plus hefty interest and fines.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Take awhile to process your feelings and then coldly, carefully, begin to plan ways to take care of yourself and your loved ones. Don't make the mistake of lashing out in ways that hurt you.

I'm very sincere about this. More than half the nation's voters just proved themselves to be babies who will believe any feel-good fantasy. Be smarter than them. It really shouldn't be that difficult cause they're pretty dumb, obviously.

[Aviation Pro]

40. Think a gutted IRS could handle a tax filing rebellion?

Nope, the agency can’t keep up with it now.

[IzzaNuDay]

29. I'm kind of hoping GOP takes both House and Senate

There will be utter chaos—enough time to strategize a midterm Democratic clawback majority in 2026- the 250th anniversary of Independence Day.

However, i want to know if this next Congress will always capitulate to the dotard.

[zuul]

30. I think TSF will be gone within 2 years.

Either he croaks or VP Shady Vance drops the 25th amendment on him. Then the real fun begins.

[Orrex]

31. It'll be on immigrants and women and minorities and LGBTQIA and antifa etc

At least, that’s who he’ll blame, and his kkkult of fuckheads and the compliant media will believe it without question.

[malaise]

33. I'm not

Every illusion has been shattered
It’s all a bullshit soap opera. The orchestrator of a coup is the President elect and the smiling hacks are falling over one another to display reverence.
Fuck that shit.

[Prairie Gates]

34. Cold comfort

[Oopsie Daisy]

36. Well, yes... we'll have someone to blame. But there are many (like me) who cannot afford the terrible price.

[joshcryer]

42. Same.

No stress at all. A lot of people are going to die, mainly Ukrainians but also women. But this is what we deserve. As a white male this affects me literally zero percent. We own it now. It is our tragedy. I will sit, and watch it unfold. And I don't care in the least. Does that make me a sociopath? No. How else can I cope? It's 2016 all over again.

[GenThePerservering]

49. thanks, brah.

🥴

[joshcryer]

50. No, I am sorry. I didn't do enough.

NV went for that piece of shit. I voted 5 others voted for him. It's anger inducing.

But I tried.

[City Lights]

48. Dotard will never, ever accept responsibility for anything that hits the fan.

He will always find other on which to blame his failures. Same for the GOP. They have the noise machine on their side and they can convince the sheep of anything. Nothing will be their fault.

[Island Blue]

52. He'll skate on the strength of Biden's strong

economy the first year or so. He will take credit for everything. (And rubes & many of the media will believe & praise him.) After that, the shit will all be on him.

[Aviation Pro]

54. Motherfucker will fuck things up so badly in the first 100 days there will be no Biden carry over

And besides, check my sig line.

[milestogo]

62. He has never borne responsibility for anything in his whole life.
