The best that we can hope for is that he gets bored or decides it's not fun anymore and then moves on, leaving the smoldering ruins in his wake.

The best we can do is make sure that day gets here as quickly as possible.

losing the election the way we did and the things they are doing will
shed many of us of any baggage, sloth, or extravagance. All will now
fight harder and focus on what is bedrock important to them. Maybe we
have been too diverse to be cohesive, or too relaxed to work hard. Now
there is no room for error. I love HRC but she just didn't motivate us, en
masse, she was not a sufficient agent of change. She disapproved, she
cajoled, she was classy, but Obama and Biden were our only attack dogs.
We had no home run swing, we tried finesse and it had no upside.

Of course, we had Obama for the full eight years and he's still very much alive and, I hope an ever-present force for good.

But like the aftermath of JFK's horrible murder, that which is good seems to take leave, and crooks, warmongers and emotionally damaged chief executives show up to plunge the country into turmoil.

If the republican chickenshits hadn't made it against the law for a president to run for reelection more than once. This was because we had a Democrat (FDRoosevelt) who was so popular he actually got elected President four times. Since there's no way that would work for a Republican, they had to put a stop to that by changing the law, as is their wont. The reason he was so popular with the voters is he actually caused things to get done that benefitted the majority, rather than the top 1%, and that makes Republicans look bad, so they hated him, and made up hateful names for him, and actually, there was a "cocktail putsch" dreamed up by some industrialists, to take over the government, but it went nowhere, unlike the present one. BTW, the things FDR got done are what the GOP is bragging about their plan to eliminate. Too bad for the 99%!

having a president who knows what he's doing, who isn't an international embarrassment, and who I could actually trust to keep me safe. Everyday, I have to hear about yet another dumb thing that Trump says or does to enrage our allies and/or bring us closer to war with someone.
Shame on the GOP for doing nothing to make him cut that out.
