At this point it shames me to admit,

[Arthur_Frain]

that I would actually consider letting him and his larvae walk free, if only I could be guaranteed that beginning immediately, I never had to see anything referencing his shitstain family ever again. Not one word of print, not one rebroadcast of anything he ever said, no more orange turd video.

I forget where I was in public the other day. There was a media bank, and he was on every screen. Every. Single. Screen. I’m really sick and tired of his shit.

Heading for the woods for a couple of weeks, no media, one public radio station (which I don’t think I’ll tune into actually), a lot of old time radio cassette tapes. Keep your sanity intact gang.

1. I'm glad DU is my only sourse of news.

I couldn’t imagine having the news on 24/7 like my neighbor even though it’s MSNBC. Has to become depressing at certain points when things don’t look like the way we want them to go. Reading in print is different.

[Ferryboat]

5. Same here, DU is the first place to go.

OPs idea of heading into the woods is a grand idea. Nothing like hanging out with boxes of food to eat. With plenty of play things to keep you amused.


Embrace the outdoor life.

[Tree Lady]

20. My only problem with getting

News here is other people who don't know us think it's not real news. So before I share with others I check stories on other news.

[elocs]

27. That is actually kind of sad. I'm glad that DU is NOT my only source of news.

The Maga cult is glad that someplace like FOX News is their only source of news. I think I have enough discernment to get my news from more than one source.

[jimfields33]

29. Nope. This has way more reality. Not sad at all. Watching tv all day would be.

[drmeow]

31. DUers link from lots of sources

including NYT, Washington Post, Guardian, MSNBC, CNN, etc. Using DU as your only source of news is not at all the same as using FAUX Noise.

[walkingman]

2. I think most sane people would agree with you. For the last 8 years there has not been

a single day that Trump has not been on the news. Not one day. It's like watching a TV series with 8 seasons - after about 3 or 4 you begin thinking...not sure I want to watch anymore of this.

I think his version of reality has changed America forever?

[Traildogbob]

3. Preach!!

The woods are the perfect drug to fight the parasite the media is laying in our brains.
Fuck trump and every aspect of any gene he has spread. And remember all his spawn have already bred and have many years of breeding left.
Not counting Barron, how many are there already from Oozay, Cooday and Princess Barbie?
And the daughter he has not expressed an interest in fucking has potential to pop out a handful of trumps.
The Trump name needs to be as cursed as the Hitler nana, with only a few idiot MAGA’s waving the flag of him. And immediately condemned.

16. As I wrote in another thread:

I want to believe that Donald tRump von ShitzInPantz will be defeated in November in a historic lanslide of repudiation. I want to believe that he will be convicted in the hush-money trial, in the insurrection case, in the classified-documents case, and in the Georgia election-interference case. I want to believe that he will spend the rest of his ignominious life in one prison or another, and in the prison of his own demented mind, bankrupt and friendless, hated and demonized in history. I want to believe that America will not teeter on the precipice of fascism, and that the re-election of Joe Biden will send the party of fascism into a paroxysm of self-immolation, and usher in a new era of progressive reconstruction of the ideals of liberty, equality, and mutual respect in our communities.

I want to believe. But I can't.

He may die tomorrow, and that would get my approval. But unless he takes a few million of his cultists to hell with him, we'll be contending with his malevolent shit for decades. I could go on here til I filled a book, but I'll just say that I will likely spend the rest of my life fighting fascism of one form or another that should have died with Mussolini and Hitler. All because of that trainload of diarrheic whaleshit.

[Traildogbob]

19. Singing my song

I will do the high parts.

[Probatim]

23. I completely agree with your statements and sentiment.

I think the people funding him and this wave of anti-democracy sentiment need to go away too. Putting 10 of them in jail for tax evasion or rewriting laws to limit their ability to wreck the country would be equal to a few million cultists being raptured.

[lastlib]

30. I'd spot you the ten, but I'd raise you at least forty.....

Maybe more. There are a LOT of people in the reich-wing with more $$ than brains.

[mahina]

4. Read you. So sick of his face. I was just thinking I need a filter.

To go over his ugly mug

[Srkdqltr]

6. And here we are not talking about him

[calimary]

7. There is that.

[William Seger]

12. Yeah, but that's because there's still a lot to talk about

... what with him planning to get the coup right this time, apparently with some chance of success. He needs to make American great again by giving us no more reason to talk about him, and there's no way he'll do that voluntarily.

[Srkdqltr]

13. I understand he has to be monitored.

We all need to know what he is saying.

What an awful time for us all.

[LisaM]

8. That would be deserving punishment for him anyway.

Should he be in jail? Of course.

But being wiped from the public eye would be one of the worst things that could befall him, at least to him, so I say yes.

10. Trump is permanently etched in

American politics and culture for at least the next 20yrs. His base sees him as a god. 25-35% of the country. Unfortunately, that stain never leaves and has made America a very dangerous political place.

[birdographer]

11. Agree. But I would also be absolutely fine with hearing over and over again

about how he stroked out and is gone forever. I can hear about dead trump for far longer and with far more pleasure than alive trump. I would smile with every mention of dead trump.

[Conjuay]

24. We would still have to deal with his

Awfspring

[birdographer]

25. DJTJ would OD in no time,

Eric would be a non-issue, and Barbie and Ken would most likely eventually be investigated and found guilty of something.

[3catwoman3]

28. Excellent neologism!

[GoreWon2000]

14. Letting Nixon go free helped to create tRump

Everyone needs to remember that letting Nixon go free helped to create tRump. It let the election stealing GOP know that they could steal elections without fear of accountability. The Bush crime family took full advantage of this in 2000 in Florida and they created the Presidential election stealing roadmap that tRump is now using.

[FakeNoose]

15. The important thing is to convict Chump of a serious crime - a felony if possible

Once Chump is finally convicted he can never run for anything again. If it turns out that no judge, no jury, will sentence him to prison after he's been convicted ... well ... I'm Ok with that. Confine him to house arrest and no media, no interviews, no access to internet. I think the sentencing is secondary, as long as he gets a felony conviction.

Yes it's unfair and he's a stupid privileged son of a bitch, but he's also tearing us apart.
This doesn't have to drag on for another 10 years.

[Mr.Bill]

18. He can still run for office with a felony conviction. (and he will)

The only requirements for being president is to be born here, be 35 years old or older, not ever been removed from office by a trial in the Senate, and have a pulse. The rest is up to the voters.

The republicans in the Senate had two chances to end his political career, and they failed both times. The press and anyone running against them should be pointing a finger at them daily for failing at this.

[Mr.Bill]

17. Look on the home page here

at the latest videos column on the right side. There are 20 still photos from videos there. Trump is in ten of them. And that's not unusual.

[Tree Lady]

21. The woods is the place I also

Go to for peace of mind and most spots I go have no internet or cell so it's very calming.

My favorite camp spot hour east of me in Oregon is like that and no hookups so real camping. I do bring a few downloaded yoga sessions.

[Warpy]

22. It will be two years since I had the TV on

next month and the amazing thing is how little I miss it. I'd already ditched the broadcast "news," I had enough of being lied to.

We'll never get rid of this sick family, even if their money runs our, there will be periodic "where are they now?" stories, so unless you want to adopt a semi monkish existence, you'll have them shoved in your face from time to time.

I do see his ugly face, though, here on videos and in still pictures. He's so goddamned fat it's hard to miss, plus no other man his age still tarts himself up with hair dye and grease paint, so I always know it's him, blindness and all.

Zoomers will outlive the lot of them. Until that happens, I suggest TVs with small screens. Having his snarling face the size of a hot air balloon in one's living room would be WAY too much.

26. Cassettes? Good luck. n/t
