we have another 3.5 years of this crap. We may get lucky and make it harder to pass things through congress of course.

They'll just say he has the ability to do it, so it's not illegal.

And the reaction, outside of the Democratic party, has been pretty minimal.

Like most Trump news stories, by Wednesday, this will be on the backburner because of other stuff going on.

Until then he could eat a baby on live TV and stay in the White House.

8. It has been farcical, and I did not acknowledge him as a legitimate president.

This was the turning point in my own mind to clear dictatorship and the end if a functioning federal legal system.

10. I had a dream last night that Trump died during a stunt

Gad that was a vivid dream. Trump was taking credit for some bullshit and they staged a rally out at sea. Huge anticipation and coverage. His supporters were on aircraft carriers when suddenly a Wallenda-type stunt appeared on a nearby smaller craft. Trump was hoisted to the top of the pyramid and the crowd went nuts when he stood on the top right and started to make a speech. There was one guy alongside to his left holding Trump near the waistline but the two of them were on top of everyone else.

It was wobbly but Trump always got out of trouble until he tipped toward his right and disappeared. Loud gasps.

My dream ended briefly. I never saw where he landed and what it looked like.

But all of a sudden the networks were announcing Trump's death. I have to say I was thrilled. Then all the networks were matter of factly discussing that neither side was really paying any type of tribute to him, the way a typical president would be treated.

I remember thinking...no kidding.

When I awoke hours later I had to take 10 or so groggy steps before sadly acknowledging that none of it would be true, once I turned on the television.

My dreams are never pleasant. But this was a first. Normally I'm the one facing some type of grave danger.
