Every freaking morning

[essme]

I wake up, and go straight to DU hoping to see the post, "Trump has resigned".....

Every.single.morning.

I hate him worse than I hated Nixon. Far worse. He needs to go.

[pintobean]

1. I feel sorry for you.

I don't harbor hatred, or fret over things that I can't control.

I wish you peace of mind.

[safeinOhio]

4. Great answer.

I try to keep my emotions in check also. Seems like a good way to deal with all situations. If I rely on emotions, I may miss an important point. I don't want to be filled with hate either.

[Rorey]

10. I try, but in this case I haven't succeeded

I don't like to harbor hate because of the harm it does to my own well-being, but I'm having a very hard time because of the costs that my children and grandchildren are going to have to pay. It's a "mama bear" thing, I suppose.

[safeinOhio]

14. It's very simple, yet

very difficult to do.

[PatSeg]

29. I try as well,

but this man has brought out feelings in me that I cannot repress. It is hard to be calm and carry on when we witness him daily destroying everything we hold dear.

It is exhausting being outraged each day, but I am also afraid of getting used to all this as the new normal. For the sake of the future and the world we live in, we are right to be outraged and suffer the exhaustion. Tyrants flourish and prosper when we become complacent. What we experiencing is not meant to be comfortable.

Meanwhile for my sanity, I take a lot of breaks from the news, but I manage to stay tuned into what is happening on a daily basis.

6. Tongue in cheek I think

Got to have a sense of humor in the Trump era

[True Blue American]

9. Trump sudafed stash

Trump revealed more than he wanted to in this photo.

[PatSeg]

32. Very interesting

[vlyons]

17. I don't hate him either

Hatred is poison. and so is anger. I do however recognize that he needs to go.

[essme]

31. oh, put a lid on that

You don't need to feel sorry for me. Not interested in your airy fairy crap. Hate is normal.

[pintobean]

33. Lol. Retracted.

Carry on.

[essme]

35. :) I remember you from

"the old days" on DU. I haven't been on since President Obama was elected- but I was here under a long forgotten name and password that I just couldn't remember.

Trust me, you may not call it "hate," but I sure do remember some of your scorching posts back in the day.

[pintobean]

38. I have no idea what you're talking about.

You probably have me confused with someone else. It wouldn't be the first time someone has.

[essme]

40. no. I remember both Pinto

and you.

I wasn't thinking anything "bad," I just remember you with a lot of other long time DUers that I am seeing again.

[pintobean]

45. Well, I'm pretty sure

I know my own temperament and posting history better than you do.

You can't even remember your own user name.

[essme]

49. On yes. I certainly

Do remember my own name.

I think others here might not. Apparently including you.

I have forgotten my near 15 year or more password. I am old, not senile. And I do indeed remember your name.

[NewEnglandAutumn]

68. You are wrong

I have spent my life believing that it would be wrong to sink to the same level as the GOP. I believed the 'when they go low we go high' attitude before it was a meme. I believed that good would triumph and rising above the cheap tricks of the right was better for me and the country.

I was wrong. The GOP has just continued to sink lower and lower. Embracing what is right and doing the right thing has gotten us nowhere in the past 40 years. My children's generation has got it right. They are doing a better job standing up for what is right in the past few years than their parents did. David Hogg and others have chosen to emulate their grandparents and great grandparents; they ARE angry. They give me hope. Anger is NOT the problem. Compliancy is.

[Oppaloopa]

70. I agree.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

2. I look for the biggest Best "HEADLINE"...

TRUMP DEAD.

Disappointment is an old friend.

[Rorey]

7. Not me, not yet

I want him out and completely exposed and disgraced before he draws his last breath. He's a corrupt, FAKE president and doesn't deserve one bit of honor or reverence when he dies.

[Perseus]

25. Agree, I want him to do time behind bars, he doesn't deserve any better

[BigmanPigman]

61. Me too.

I want to see him punished and to suffer for what he has done to innocent people and to the country and entire planet. Decades of harm to "undo" deserves a severe, harsh punishment. McConnell should get the same. I wish they both would drop dead, just to end this harm to the country faster but I prefer slow suffering for the rest of their lives as well as those who enable him.

[GetRidOfThem]

62. Second that!

I want him to be alive and be totally discredited and humiliated. And behind bars...

I want him to live through his punishment.

[rickyhall]

15. I can settle with that...

[Joe941]

36. Hate takes you to dark places.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

39. It's not hate...

That is an emotion I’m able to keep in check. It’s the easiest solution...K.I.S.S.. He’s doing it to himself...fast food...no trying to keep fit...stress from the position, everything we normal people should avoid to have a healthy life.
I’m just checking in.

[essme]

41. oh for goddesses sake

If I "hated" this country, I would want that jackass to live a long healthy life.

Don't be so silly. If we all did not "hate" this damned conservative crap, we wouldn't be sitting here reading DU.

Quit reading so much into this.

[Scarsdale]

3. He is a disgrace to

humanity. McConnell is vowing to block impeachment, so he is as bad. Party before country is the gop motto, no matter how bad their "leader" is. It looks as though they took a vow. Once an (R) is in the WH, they will keep them there, through thick and thin. Who ever thought anyone could screw up THIS badly? I guess he is the best they could do, since intelligence is scarce in the gop ranks.

[Rorey]

8. McConnell is a bigger disgrace to humanity, IMO

He has made it clear that "party above country" is his primary belief. He's vowed that 45 will not be convicted in the Senate without even knowing all of the evidence.

If I was called for jury duty and made a statement like that, I'd be excluded from the jury. McConnell is an even bigger POS than 45, IMO.

[Perseus]

24. The only conclusion I can come up with is that McConnell is up to his eyebrows compromised

He knows the creature will pull him down as he goes down.

[dewsgirl]

5. He won't. As much as we want him to he won't. He knows what

what awaits him if he does. He is not only in an avalanche of legal trouble, he is well aware Putin doesn't like loose ends.

[True Blue American]

11. This from the Drudge Report!

https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Mounting-evidence-buttresses-the-facts-laid-out-14495008.php

[dewsgirl]

12. I don't read the Drudge report. It is painfully obvious.

[True Blue American]

42. Not any more!

That was the point of my post!

[MarianJack]

13. I'm 64 years old and I never thought I would say THIS, but...

...Tricky Dickie was a much better man than Dolt45.

RESIST!

[Perseus]

22. No, he was not, he was just quiet about it

They are all evil, and Dick is a dick.

[flying_wahini]

26. No, Nixon had a teeny tiny heart. He cared about his family and had loyalties.

TRump has No conscious. None, nada, zip.

And just for the record, I hate him too.

[BlueStater]

16. Every day I wake up hoping he's died of a heart attack in his sleep.

No such luck.

[Martin Eden]

23. I have a different idea of how he should die

While tweeting and having a bowel movement on his golden throne, the dumb phone slips from Donnie's small hands into the fetid swamp under his butt cheeks.

He stands up and turns around to retrieve it, trips over the trousers around his ankles, hits his head on the rim which knocks him unconscious, then he drowns in his own shit.

[oswaldactedalone]

28. This would make a great cold open

for SNL, although the Orange Shitstain aka the Weasleheaded Fucknugget, should suffer an even more ignominius death than that.

[Orrex]

27. I want his death to happen on live tv

I want it to be sudden, so that there's no ushering him off camera, where they can create a heroic story about his demise.

I want it to be embarrassing, like having him piss, shit, and vomit all over himself in full view of millions.

I want it to be unequivocally a result of his disgusting lifestyle. Otherwise his handlers and cultists are guaranteed to create a story in which he labored courageously while in the throes of his secret illness (they'll even cite David Bowie, working until mere days before his death by his undisclosed cancer).

On the other hand, there's a very (make that a VERY) good chance that they'll claim that he was poisoned by some Leftwing agent or group, perhaps Pelosi herself, entirely without facts or evidence, but his cult of idiot racist fuckheads will believe it as sacrosanct gospel until the last one of those stupid pieces of shit has died.

[Goodheart]

44. My exact mindset.

[tavernier]

18. #Me too.

Our own ‘me too’ movement.

[Martin Eden]

19. That reminds me of the story of the man who went to the news stand every day

He would buy the paper, glance at the front page, then curse and throw the paper away.

When he was asked by the vendor why he does that, the man replied he was checking to see if someone died. The vendor explained the obituaries are in the back section of the newspaper.

The man said "When this sonofabitch dies, it will be on the front page!"

[Perseus]

21. Good one

[Perseus]

20. You are just frustrated, like many of us

The anxiety level the creature has created in the entire World has created a sense of hate on many people, but I feel it is more frustration to the fact that he is still there.

Breath deep and be patient, he will disappear from our lives soon.

[warmfeet]

30. Agreed.

Hate is not too strong a word. He needs to go and I don't care how at this point.

[MineralMan]

34. My wife gets up an hour earlier than I do. She has, you know,

things to do that take some time, so I snooze. She wakes me up with a "Good Morning!" I ask her, "Is Trump still President?" So far, she has always answered, "Sorry. Yes." One day, I hope she has a different answer.

[essme]

37. Yes, indeed!

Maybe we should all exchange phone numbers so the first one of us that gets up and checks can message everyone saying, "nope! It's not today!"

[spinbaby]

43. It will probably happen tomorrow afternoon

I have a long flight, so I’m sure momentous things will happen while I’m incognito. I’m almost tempted to pay for WiFi, just so I don’t miss anything.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

46. I figure I'll know the moment Trump resigns or is removed from office

because there will be dancing in the street.

[58Sunliner]

59. Will it look bad? That's what I've been wondering. I decided I don't care.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

69. As far as I'm concerned it will be all good.

I'm actually giving some thought to buying a bottle of very nice champagne to be opened when he does finally leave the White House for good. Even if it doesn't get consumed for a few more years.

[58Sunliner]

73. I too anticipate a good bubbly. I was mostly thinking of the optics of an assassination.

[LeftInTX]

47. Last week someone predicted that Trump would resign by Sept 27th

He's still here....

Why would he resign?

[yuiyoshida]

48. He won't RESIGN... HE KNOWS WHAT will happen if he does..

He will be arrested the moment he leaves office ...so he will either have an escape plan or ..
He will simply refuse to leave office.

[Pepsidog]

50. If you watch the show Secession which is obviously about the Murdochs, the character playing what

would be Rupert’s brother calls him out saying he is or will be responsible for more deaths in the world than Hitler. He also said he is the single most person responsible should civilization cease to exist due to his medical empire’s denial of climate change. If you don’t watch, the show is about a family that control a Fox like media empire. The founder played by Brian Cox is Obviously Rupert Murdoch and his four kids who scheme to take over the company when the father steps down. On HBO.

[bitterross]

51. Not going to happen

He is a sociopath. He doesn't believe he can do wrong.

[dchill]

52. When Nixon becomes the more likeable of two guys...

... Then the other guy has got to be a turd.

[The Wizard]

53. I'm waiting for

the R. Budd Dwyer exit strategy. But Herman Goering would be OK too.

[LeftInTX]

54. OMG!! I just looked that up!!!

Neither hubby nor I knew about R Budd Dwyer!!!

[The Wizard]

55. now you know

[58Sunliner]

56. I keep hoping to hear DT had a heart attack, stroke, self-inflicted........etc.......

The most vile excuse of a human being.

[Meowmee]

57. If it ever happens which I doubt

I will see it on tv most likely. I mostly try to ignore it all now to avoid the stress but in my house it’s impossible because there is nonstop news on etc. either that or old tv shows and star trek etc 😹

[FakeNoose]

58. Yep - I hear you!

[Karadeniz]

60. I'd post that to fulfill your wish, but you'd probably have a nervous breakdown when you learned

That it was just a kind gesture and a lie and that would not be helpful.

[jimlup]

63. Let's hope so - I fear he will have to be forcibly removed...

this worse president ever, by orders of magnitude, doesn't follow the normal playbook.

[Initech]

64. Every single morning I say "What fresh hell has this asshole got us into now?"

[LeftInTX]

65. Yes, it's like a soap opera

[Initech]

67. Actually I'd say it's more like a really fucked up comic strip.

[NewEnglandAutumn]

66. Just not yet

I want the evidence against him to be reported and commented on.
I want people testifying under oath what the GOP has ignored.
I want the shit storm to continue into 2020
I want his kids 'business' deals brought up
I want Barr to testify
I want to see Lindsey and Mitch squirm.

[pertello]

71. Me too-

And my sister admits she turns the TV on every morning just long enough to see if he’s resigned, been arrested or died. She can’t watch the news anymore. Last year she had a massive heart attack and she swears it was from shouting at the TV.
Just the sight of his face and sound of his voice elevate my blood pressure.

[Awsi Dooger]

72. Incumbent presidents serve a full term and run for re-election

Ignore everything else and rely on that big picture reality.

It will serve you much better than following every day to day detail and listening to all the frantic conclusions and adjustments.

People who post here are the type who follow every development. Consequently they will ace any current events quiz but always overreact toward where today's news will lead, and tomorrow's news will lead, and where last Thursday's news was going to lead.
