parties for everyone. Not riots, just celebrations that they Slobfather goes to jail. [or wherever the hell he goes).
Trump is a traitor, plain and simple. He is also someone who had a chance to the right thing, and he called it "a hoax"
Donald Trump needs a nice quiet prison to celebrate his conviction.
And, I will have one of those parties...!!!!

(4,552 posts)I dated a girl who was a musician. We were somewhere and we were suppose to clap along. She got up looked at me and walked away shaking her head. Later on I asked what was that all about. She screamed at me you have no rhythm. I went with what is that.

a death watch of sorts in the park across the street from the White House, and the writer thought it was surreal that the crowd chose to sing Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. Living as I did in Honolulu at the time, I wished I could have been there and hating Nixon as I did, I didnt think it was a surreal choice at all.
So Maggie Thatcher was serenaded that way as well? It fits.
Your post made me LOL. It's the perfect song!

(11,574 posts)There will be honking horns, instant block parties, spontaneous dancing, shouts and cheers, back slapping, hugging, and cracking open scotch bottles reserved for very special occasions. That will all be at my house, but I think others will feel similarly excited.

I should mention that my definition of "party" doesn't usually include alcohol these days. So some may feel that doesn't quite qualify. But it works just fine for me.

(81,198 posts)Were not drinkers either, but I may be tempted to go get a full-on sugar Coca Cola just to celebrate!
And theres also chocolate
And frankly, Ill probably be celebrating it right here on DU, while enjoying the accompanying coverage of The Great Downfall.
And yes to chocolate, especially when combined with caffeine. I've been known to get giddy drinking a mocha Frappuccino from Starbuck's.
quaker bill
(8,224 posts)but I did have some sweet gold bud for the Nixon party. I was not a drinker then and health limitations ruled it out again 10-15 years ago.

(2,910 posts)by Amy Corona Barrett and her dominionist fellows, what should we do then?
Maybe, just maybe, if the oligarchy is truly done with trump, they'll let the conviction ride. I don't want to take that chance.
The top priority is fixing the Court. Impeach, investigate, pressure, whatever. They're killing the country. This is why we hire politicians. They're supposed to know how to do these things. The QOP always seems to know the ropes.
I won't let my guard down until the extreme court lets hium rot in jail.
But I will smile at the perp walk.
