During the worst times of my life, I've wondered if I was only dreaming and would awaken to find everything the same as it had been. Lately, I've been wondering if we've all died and gone to hell.

(8,380 posts)at least for many people, but I do hope there is a Heaven afterward, for all people. Oh, and my dogs. Well, all dogs. And cats. And all animals. Except copperheads.

Trump is so unrealistic, however, that such a story wouldn't be accepted as good fiction, unless perhaps presented as broad satire like Gulliver's Travels.

Avoiding hell on earth is a generational challenge, because 'evil' forces will always exist and persist, no prompting needed.

(565 posts)many don't believe it but 30,000 of his own followers were infected with estimated 700 dead, following his religious calls to attend the maga prayer rally events. His FDA just approved a drug that the World says doesn't work but his Pharma donors are looking for a bail out. His latest gamble to roll the dice with the fabricated Son of Biden conspiracy in a last ditch attempt to wash his hands of Ukraine. It's just unbelievable how we got here! How the hell did he and his family pass security clearance background checks if someone else in gov wasn't behind the desk!
Is he a cornered rat? Will he lash out like a madman? Or, does he already know he's toast and accepts his fate. That fate being Plan B, a Pence Pardon! And, you would think that it would happen sooner than Jan 21st because more evidence is likely to leak out in droves causing more harm to the GOP enablers that looked the other way while Putin took Crimea!
When will FBI release the data on FLA counties that were hacked in 2016? Remember, Trump won by only 70K votes in a few battleground states. There's more to this story!

(82,849 posts)We'll send them back to hell in a couple of days. In the meantime, they're going to pull every trick they can think of to try to turn our victory into ashes. Go about your business with a cheerful heart. Be kind to folks who can use a little kindness. Your sunny attitude in victory will be the most potent rebuttal to these assholes who just want us to be as miserable as they are.
