I so didn’t want to wake up to this morning’s news, but here I am, and here we are.
Nothing to do but roll with the punches, do the best we can with the cards we’ve been dealt and the chaos and fleecing of America that’s sure to follow.
It's been a long time since I've woken up nauseated. The AARP needs more classes in "How to protect your tiny assets against the Big Orange Evil Idiot!" I hope I'm alive when his 4 years and Repub colleagues are done! Linda in Kansas, where even Toto ran away this morning.
I'm in Agreement, it can and will get much, much darker. I Mourn that what Heroic Patriotic Americans made Sacrifices for Generations to Protect and Preserve, was just handed over by our own Citizenry. To a Cowardly Psycho Draft Dodger who has zero comprehension of their Service and Patriotism, and has nothing but contempt for them and Plans Revenge and Promises Retribution on anyone who put Country over Party, it's the ultimate betrayal.
I was just reading an article that says all we can do now is counterpunch ... "The best plan is to figure out a counterpunch, and the most obvious place would be the 2026 midterms. If the House remains under MAGA Republican control, we could boost better candidates. If the Senate is kept Democratic, and the House flips, Trump’s congressional power deflates. This means no more of his federal judges, his policies would not pass, and he could do no more damage to the Supreme Court. It would set us up nicely for 2028."
He has gotten away with so much; I think he believes that he can do whatever he wants and get by with. This time around, I don't think we're going to see any restraint from him.
Even though we live in the reddest county of Arizona, my wife told me today she was anticipating a Kamala landslide. Only to be wakened with just the opposite news. We will have to take care of ourselves.
He failed in what he promised those stupid voters during term one and are falling for the same promises this time around. Some people have to learn the hard way.
Maybe I should change my name to Miss Clumsy! LOL. I have avoided social media and television. I feel like hiding in my closet and never coming out. I am sick to my stomach.
I too am continuing to stay away from election news. I don't appreciate that, last two days, when I tuned in to Judge Judy, there HE was talking talking talking. I quickly turned the channel. No one needs to see that. "Miss Clumsy" ... Or maybe you should wear a suit of armor to protect yourself from further mishaps 🙂.
I got 3 bags of candy. Democrats should buy stock in Pepto Bismol; we're gonna need it. But I liked Kamala's speech this afternoon. Is she gonna run again? I like the above mid-term plan. We gotta figure this out. Linda in Kansas, where Dorothy is spinning around and Toto is still lost.
I didn't see her speech. I've not watched any speeches, did not read the many articles about who what why things turned out as they did, so I don't know about running again. I'm trying to ignore what's happening, live day by day as I wait for the ax to fall.
It's a dark day indeed for America and the world.
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me it's going to get much much darker.

ReplyDeleteSounds like an article I should research.

ReplyDeleteI'd not thought of it that way, but you're right and I imagine it might be difficult to get men and women to make that sacrifice in future if needed.
DeleteI'm choosing to try to be a beacon of positivity.
ReplyDeleteI'm choosing to dull my senses by eating more chocolate.
DeleteWell, if I wasn't allergic to Chocolate your Plan would seem better, I can't find my Beacon of Positivity right now, perhaps Kathy G. has it? *winks*
DeleteYour two-fisted drinking of Caramel Macchiatos, as a substitute for chocolate, sounds like a good calming agent, LOL.
DeleteResist in any ways you can.

ReplyDelete"he believes that he can do whatever he wants and get by with" ... he's proven he can. They should have locked him up when they had a chance.
DeleteTo say I was shocked is an understatement.
ReplyDeleteI felt it coming, so I wasn't shocked, just scared and now saddened and still scared.
DeleteEven though we live in the reddest county of Arizona, my wife told me today she was anticipating a Kamala landslide. Only to be wakened with just the opposite news. We will have to take care of ourselves.
ReplyDeleteKeep calm and bake on.
DeleteI don't think I'm going to do the best I can with the cards I've been dealt.
ReplyDeleteI will scream and fight from now on.
Just don't do what they did. Don't storm the Capitol.
DeleteI've been sick to my stomach all day. I still can't believe we have so many stupid voters in this country.
ReplyDeleteHe failed in what he promised those stupid voters during term one and are falling for the same promises this time around. Some people have to learn the hard way.

DeleteWhat is to come? Those stupid, ignorant, hateful assholes. Every single one who voted for that tub of shit and lies. Shame on them.
ReplyDeleteThere's a sucker born every minute. I hope they one day see they've been had.
