Day after day, week after week, bombshells drop. Nothing happens to dislodge the orange menace.
Has everyone else just accepted that we will have to endure this for the entire term?

(16,352 posts)If reading some words on a TelePrompTer and using a poor, delirious grief stricken widow as a prop is all it takes to erase all his missteps we are truly fucked. I've thought for a while 4 years we can survive, 8 years and America is over. I'm pretty sure it's already over after a month let along a year, or eight.

(5,240 posts)I think I will have to stop focusing on what is happening with Trump and the fully GOP run government or lose my mind. Trump will, and may now, be normalized by the MSM, even after he called them the enemy of the American people. Unlike the right we don't have media empires like talk radio and Fox news that have pushed messages for 30 years, we don't have any power in any branch of the government. The bar of what is acceptable is so much lower for the right, just be able to read and you're fabulous. It is so depressing.

(284 posts)They don't care about our objections. They don't care about our voices. They don't care that we even exist. They don't care about the Russia shit.
I honestly think I'll get really sick and die if I keep "resisting" something that seems futile. I wake up with a migraine every single day now. I've jolted awake unable to breathe a few times in the past few weeks. I need to find a new hobby that has nothing to do with politics.

(18,625 posts)All he had to do was read some professional writers words on a teleprompter like he was supposed to do and his approval rating will shoot up. Just watch.
If he gets accolades tomorrow, and all indications are that he will, he will have learned the trick to popularity. Keep his mouth shut unless he is speaking someone else's words.
I think it's likely the tweets will stop and the image of a real president begins to flood the airwaves, while behind the scenes he continues to rape and destroy our constitution and democracy as before.
I just hope the leakers keep it up. That may be the only way we hear what is going on.
