I can't wait to no longer hear or read the word "Trump"

Imagine skimming through the latest DU headlines and you no longer see the word Trump, or watching the news and not hearing the word Trump, or seeing fat Nixon's face, or the face of any of his loathsome family or advisors or friends or anybody that even looks like him.

I hope it starts very very soon, and that perhaps we can start it here first.

And in this transition period, it DON'T MATTER what he says, doesn't say, does or doesn't - it DOES. NOT. MATTER. It's been a relief since Saturdy, November 7.

Re-post:

Joy REID's magnificent rant:

https://www.mediaite.com/election-2020/joy-reid-trump-supporters-decided-all-of-his-cruelty-was-fine-so-yeah-were-gonna-dunk-on-yall-today/
Joy Reid: Trump Supporters Decided All of His ‘Cruelty’ Was Fine, So ‘Yeah, We’re Gonna Dunk on Y’all’ Today

.... Reid revealed she was in the middle of getting a covid test when she heard the news and said she subsequently walked to Times Square. “And honestly, it’s like a new day, Lawrence. It’s like the city has woken up from a slumber.”

Reid then responded to people saying “don’t dunk on Trump supporters today.”

“Sorry, that’s what people are going to do,” she said. ....

“We have had four years of mass deaths. 240,000 of our fellow Americans have died and Donald Trump was vowing to kill another several million of us through herd immunity. He didn’t care about the dead. He ripped 1,000 children from their parents without a second thought.

Stephen Miller has been installed in the White House for four years practicing open, vile racism and xenophobia and making it policy. Millions of federal employees, hundreds of thousands of them have been barred from talking about systemic racism. They reversed policy on everything that was designed to make this country more fair for people like me. My immigrant family members, none of them could have come here under the rules that they placed against people who are Black and brown and coming from countries that are majority Muslim. They banned Muslim travelers, grandmas that wanted to see their grandkids.

The cruelty, the hideousness of this administration. The awfulness. They were threatening to take away my friends that are gay, that are married, and invalidate their marriages. They put in a Supreme Court that threatened to take away our health care, our desperately-needed health care. All my kids except one would be off my health care if they accomplished that.

They are threatening our lives. They don’t mind if we die. So I’m sorry if the Trump supporters are feeling a little sad this morning, but, yes, we’re going to dunk on y’all, because you 70 million people said all of that was fine, do more of that, just give me a few more pennies in tax cuts if you don’t make a million dollars a year. You didn’t even really get anything. All you got was cruelty towards people like me.”


“This country is awake. We finally feel like we can breathe,” Reid added. ....

**********UNQUOTE**********

And my bit:

My letter to the editor - and to GD?
Questions continue about Donald Trump: What if he never concedes? What if he refuses to leave? What if he goes berserk with Executive Orders, Pardons himself, or unleashes the Proud Boys?

The answer is: It doesn’t matter. His choices are to find some grace or sulk his way out or be frogmarched out, it’s up to him.

Whatever part of the country has moved on. No individual or group can stop the moving on of any kind.

We are free to go back to our daily lives without the dread of what the tweet at dawn was or keep adding to the list of his latest outrageous publicity stunts. It doesn’t matter, but actually never mattered.

If it comes down to the frogmarch, no big deal. It will just be his last stunt and we can rubberneck it briefly and immediately move on past it.

This is not gloating or mean spiritedness and there’s no expectation that his followers will move on constructively. Even if they choose to wreak havoc, it might be suspected that they will have their own secret relief.

It is going to be so great to wake up to a world not dominated by the latest craziness from Donald Trump.

It will soon be the normal crazy shit.

...as long as it's about his world, and his spawn's worlds, and his enablers' worlds, collapsing. I will relish the details of investigations and bankruptcies, and hopefully jail time.

or read his lying tweets.

He is the personification of evil, and I can hardly wait for Mother Nature to cleanse the planet of all vestiges of his toxic, slimy schmoo.

Schmoo is what I call the crusty stuff that I scrape off my cat's face as his eye weeps

I laughed, ty!

Really, the last president whose name wasn't mentioned 24-7 heard by every one, every day, every hour . . . was Jimmy Carter.

SarUH Palin didn't even win and look how long her shelf life was after being selected. Undeservedly long.

He will continue to thrust himself upon the public like the predator he is. When he finally croaks he will probably have it set up in his will that his heavily embalmed, spray tanned corpse be sealed in a glass case displayed in a shrine so people can continue to worship him.

We're a very long way away from erasing this blight from our lives. He'll be in the news cycles for years to come, fighting first for his "stolen" presidency, then fighting SDNY on all the criminal cases they're prepping and expecting to land on him, then the appeals, then the campaign for 2024, rinse, lather, repeat.

And, that's just Daddy. There's still the Princess, Uday, and Qusay to deal with, not to mention new Barbie Tiffany coming up in the ranks. We probably don't have to acknowledge Barron until his father does.

I'd beef up the popcorn supply. There's a lot more of tRump lying ahead.

when he was just a clown running for office per usual. Once he became the nominee, I removed it from my list. Looks like it's time to trash him again!
