Check in here if you are already maxed out on TFG

[milestogo]

I don't know how I'm going to get through this. He makes me sick. I turned on the television and there are a series of Trump clips on MSNBC. Check in to DU and its all Trump.


This is hell.

[C_U_L8R]

1. I maxed out on this douchenozzle by 1987

Always a whining asshole. His determination to corrupt everything is unbelievable.

[2naSalit]

29. +1

[SharonAnn]

31. I want him prosecuted, but I am so very, very of hearing his name and seeing his face.

[Ocelot II]

2. That happened about 7 years ago.

[MiHale]

3. Pimple always draws the most attention...

and looks the worst right before it’s ready to pop.

[PatSeg]

28. Excellent analogy

[NewHendoLib]

4. Maxed out ages ago.

[LakeArenal]

5. Really not maxed by him. But the vitriol of his maggots. Yikes.

[Faux pas]

6. Beyond!

[walkingman]

7. He makes my stomach hurt. I don't care for reality tv.

[jimfields33]

8. Every media, website and newspaper focus on trump and have since 2015.

Count how many threads are on trump here. It’s difficult to fathom.

[Blues Heron]

9. your computer has a hell-defeating setting that reduces the voltage to zero

I often use it - recommend same.

[MuseRider]

10. Beyond, but we

still have milestogo!

Sorry, that is the state my poor mind is in at this point.

I fear we have years to go. People like him tend to remain alive and obnoxious for freaking ever.

[marble falls]

18. Good reference! Thanks for reminding me of a favorite poem ...

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.[1]

30. First long poem...

Last edited Sun Jun 11, 2023, 01:08 PM - Edit history (1)

I had to memorize in grade school. I don't remember all of it anymore.

[marble falls]

58. I remember several lines, but there have been times on the road or at my desk late, I've said to ...

... myself - "but I have promises to keep and miles to go go before I sleep."

[2naSalit]

60. Can't say...

That I haven't done that myself.

[milestogo]

40. Love that poem.

[marble falls]

59. It's probably my favorite poem. And I can't say why. It just speaks to me ...

... I saw him read it on TV in the very early sixties and it just opened me to poetry.

[MuseRider]

56. So beautiful!

I have heard that before but it was so long ago. It is wonderful to have it back in my life. Thank you.

[marble falls]

57. You're posts are always multilevel and never over the top, it was my pleasure giving it back to you.

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Agreed. Sadly like Limbaugh, he is a role model for others and it will continue. I had higher hopes

[IbogaProject]

11. I was tired of him summer of 2015

I knew he was the frontrunner in June 2015. I warned everyone. I was met with laughter or silence mostly straight through the election. I knew how stupid fox viewers are, I grew up with them and as I dress w collared shirts and keep my hair on the short side, I'm easily mistaken for a 'conservative', so I know how those w unconscious inferiority complexes act when they think everyone is like them.

[snowybirdie]

12. Today was awful

Found a nice documentary on Arnold Schwarzenegger on Netflix.

[Poiuyt]

13. I remember thinking after Biden won in 2020 that we wouldn't

have Trump sucking the air out of the whole country anymore. Boy, was I wrong!

[Beartracks]

26. I thought for a moment he might do the honorable thing...

... and go away. But the only time "Trump" and "honorable" appear together in a sentence is like, "Trump has never done the honorable thing, ever."

==============

[PatSeg]

32. Yes, many of us were hopeful at the time,

but I think we all knew he would never just "go away". We'd already seen what kind of person he was. The more he is defeated, the louder and more obnoxious he becomes. I guess in Trump's mind, only "losers" pack it up and move on with a bit of dignity.

[MAJones]

14. Yes

Need to take a break. I'm sick to death of this traitor. I'm sick to death of his stupid followers.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. About a decade or so ago.

[marble falls]

16. As long as continues to shuffle forward into handcuffs and jail, I can take it.

[Emile]

17. Long ago. Lock the bastard up!

[moonscape]

19. Consider me checked in for

wishing he would just check out.

[kentuck]

20. Why does he make people sick?

Why do they continue to talk about him?

I think it is because they feel threatened. They feel that their country is threatened.

They feel it in their bones.

When something is inflicting pain upon your body, it is difficult to think of anything else.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. I saw him as a threat in 2015. Here we are.

[claudette]

21. I only want to watch

Rachel Maddow, Ari Melber, Nicole Wallace and Lawrence O’Donnell. Other shows are unbearable to me.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. same here

[rzemanfl]

22. Sick to death of him.

Have been for years.

[DownriverDem]

23. For sure

It's exhausting. As he declares to his supporters to do something, it's also dangerous.

[niyad]

24. Stroke out already, you F'n, murdering, orange, RAPIST, TRAITOR**.

[barbtries]

25. i'm day to day.

but i find myself unwilling today to click on anything about him.

[Prairie_Seagull]

35. Heading to the Oregon coast in the next couple of days for a long deserved break.

I will have a laptop with me of course. I wonder how much time I will find myself on DU to check out the newest thought provoking chaos. I hope I can minimize it but he is the worst case of morbid curiosity I have ever had. This would be hilarious if it were not so fucking serious. The ocean has a way of calming my mind. Fingers crossed and one in the air.

[hadEnuf]

36. Just looking at photos of him makes one ill.

It's like staring at an unflushed toilet.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

68. Why I came up with a little digital placard

To block out its hideous face.

Like this:

[hadEnuf]

69. Ha ha

,Good one.

[UTUSN]

37. Yes, same as OP, but *eternal vigilence* - not over till he's over!

[mvd]

38. Sure am

That’s why the indictments are great for two reasons: 1) justice and 2) leading to his Presidential hopes ending. Initially we’ll see more of the asshole, but later hopefully not.

[lucca18]

39. I feel your pain. I am right there with you!

And, having judge Cannon assigned to his case makes me sick.

[dchill]

42. Right years now. And counting..

[mzmolly]

43. Hell indeed. Hopefully there will be a just

ending to this national nightmare.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

44. He looms large in the news cycle. I'm ok with people talking about him

[BigOleDummy]

45. Up to my

eyeballs! Thats how done I am with seeing/hearing/ just being aware hes still breathing . What is his attraction to so many people? I mean..... he's not even a good orator! Just hate and bile, how can people subsist on only those?

[TheCowsCameHome]

46. The only time I want to see his name again is in an obituary.

He sickens me to the core.

[Rebl2]

47. Well it

is kind of big news. I just don’t look at articles about tfg on DU and turn the channel so I don’t have to hear about him, if I don’t want to.

[Lonestarblue]

48. I refuse to watch any video of him posted here or in any media.

I despise even hearing his voice. The only photos I look forward to seeing are the booking photo charging him with multiple felonies and the photo of him in handcuffs being led away to prison. Those will be worth seeing.

[Hortensis]

49. :) Switch to Fox and miss by far most of it.

But no, we're not "maxed out" here. Looking forward to Tuesday. Not to the next year, but we at least get to decide how much attention we give it.

[Aristus]

50. I was maxed out by the time he started burbling about Barack Obama's "real" birth certificate.

Before, he was just this clownish buffoon who went bankrupt running a casino. Good for a laugh at the socioeconomic pretensions of rich idiots; nothing more. Easy to forget after that.

I underestimated the power of vile, squalid people to capture the attention and unshakeable loyalty of other vile, squalid people. And here we are...

[bluescribbler]

51. Years ago, in fact.

Maxed out!

[debm55]

52. Go to the Lounge-it's fun. Politics not allowed. Interesting discussion. See you there!

[vlyons]

53. He is rather tiresome, and sooo predictable

Time to turn off the TV and do something else for a while. Trump only disturbs your peace of mind when you let him in.

[msdogi]

54. Sick of him in 2016

Just gotten worse, and really infuriating that he keeps his repulsive self front and center, everywhere.

[New Breed Leader]

55. I'm with you. I can't stand this either.

I'm upset all over again, after having had a wonderful break from him, now he's back. I don't know what I'm going to do.

[FemDemERA]

61. Turned on msnbc earlier

And the cameras were set to watching the blank stage, waiting for him to up there and speak. I am so sick of them giving him free airtime. They should send the reporters to watch it, film it, and then just tell us the worst of what he said, after the fact. NO live airtime.

Instead, we get Time wasted filming an empty stage and entire shows with “reporters” hanging on every word/action of a traitor to our country.

Yet they rarely talk about or show Biden going about his day-to-day work of helping keep our country safe and functioning as normal as possible in these trying times.

Sigh. Changed the channel.

[FemDemERA]

62. If it wasn't for DU

I wouldn’t even know about the large Pride event today, about the signing of rule changes for military spouses, or the supreme court ruling on union strikers, etc. I don’t do social media and for most of my life have always relied on my local and national news stations for basic news. That’s all Sadly lacking now. Thanks to DU folks for being my news portal

[New Breed Leader]

65. The news media hasn't learned a god damned thing since 2016

they still insist on giving that fucker attention.

[Kaleva]

63. Preparing for catastrophic climate takes up much of my time

What's going on with tfg is interesting and I'll read posts here about him but when I'm not here, I don't give him much thought .

[Boomerproud]

64. Watching CNN for 5 minutes is like reading 1984 with the poster of Big Brother staring at you.

I don't need constant close-ups guys.

[Ilsa]

66. I got my fill of all of it by midnight Friday.

Didn't watch anything about it on Saturday or today.

I envy the cameraderie of the star MSNBC hosts at the table Friday afternoon. Nicolle Wallace, Rachel, Joy Reid, Ari Melber, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Alex Wagner. They appeared to be having a lot of fun, and had great chemistry.

[IcyPeas]

67. I wouldn't object to a 10 minute update on all things trump... but...

He takes up like 50 minutes of every news hour on every channel every day for the past 6 years. Every show has their panels of experts opining and speculating ad nauseum.

And the experts and political analysts on these panels get paid, so they have no incentive to want the trump circus to end. ... and it helps them sell books. Everyone is making $$$$. And all their facts and insights don't cause change. Just makes me madder.

He is the news and every for-profit news channel wants a piece of that $$$ pie.

Even the late night comedians spend too much time on trump (of course with the writers strike these shows are all reruns).

[roamer65]

70. Best thing I did was got rid of satellite TV two years ago.

Tabloid TV is even worse than DU when it comes to Dump.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

71. i'm maxed out on TFG, MGT and a few others

[lees1975]

72. Yep, indict him, hold him, get him off the tv and campaign trail

I don't care. He's a goner anyway, let him go.
