One glorious day, DJT will be gone, but the damage he's wrought will take years,

[MIButterfly]

if not decades, to undo. Once something is taken away, it doesn't come back. And when we get a Democratic president (assuming we still have elections), if he or she says "This is a time for looking forward, not backward," I will blow a gasket. That is, if I'm still alive by then.

1. if we get another democratic President in my lifetime

( I am getting older )

I want them to issue a string of executive orders to undo EVERYTHING that this asshole is doing via executive order today. Try to hire back the scientists and other government workers, and absolutely fire anyone hired.

In addition, it looks like we need to have serious talks with the top to bottom military to make sure they NEVER endorse, show support for, or otherwise do anything political while they are on duty, given what we witnessed today.

The governor they were boo'ing today in the stands behind the orange fucknut may well be their NEXT Commander in Chief

2. Hopefully, enough voters will remember trump such we don't have another like him.

3. "I've grown tired of living Nixon's mess."

That line was in a Meat Puppets song that came out in 1984. About 30 years ago I started hearing it in my head as "Reagan's mess." And on it goes...

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today we revisit the Meat Puppets’ 1984 album, a sun-baked, country-fried, acid-addled cowpunk album that could have come from nowhere else but the Arizona desert.....

4. The damage

he and the republicans, as they are as guilty as he is, have wrought on our country will never be completely repaired. We will be living with the repercussions for years.

5. "...but the damage he's wrought will take years, if not decades, to undo."

Some of it will be irreparable – such as the next Republican president.

Trump has established a precedent of executive branch abuse of power, a template future Republican presidents can use to establish another lawless, authoritarian regime – taking note of how Trump issued lawless EOs, pursued an agenda of corruption and criminality, and ignored the courts, all with absolute impunity.

6. Then comes catastrophic climate change

8. "Trump will be gone"... Think so, ha?

We’re in for at least 15 years of shit before this nightmare ends. Right now, it’s unstoppable.

9. Yeah, and the longer it takes him to croak the worse the damage will be.

He looks like walking death, die already.

10. He'll be gone but Fox News will still be here.

As will the Heritage Foundation. We need to get rid of them to make sure another DJT never happens again.
