This April we'll be celebrating the resurrection of our lord. I'll be bringing hard boiled eggs with cool colors and a bunch of chocolate. We're also flying in bunnies from all over the country, except stupid California. Melania will be handing out baskets of goodies to the kiddies! It won't be creepy!!!!!

we called it "the Fourth of July"?
DesertRat
(27,995 posts)We'll call it "A Salute to Romance". It will be the biggest love-focused gathering in history! People will buy chocolate hearts (available at your local trump tower gift shop) and order overpriced trump steaks and wine. No one knows more about love and romance than me!

(22,976 posts)I will never, ever fully understand the astonishing blindness and tone-deafness of 45s supporters.
For most of my life, I naively trusted in the common sense of most Americans, excluding the historically deranged right-wing fringe, who were a major laughingstock for decades.
My biggest disappointment comes from those fellow-citizens who now would apparently be quite content to live in a fascist state, ruled by a dictator. These are the same people who scream about liberty, patriots, freedom, etc. Meanwhile, the store is being robbed blind.
Ive shaken my head so much in the past two-plus years, its a wonder that its still attached to my neck.

VOX
(22,976 posts)We have lives to lead, responsibilities, etc., and we continue on, but several times a day it hits: America is going full-fascist? Donald Trump, a smug, preening, dangerous buffoon is actually PRESIDENT? The meetings with high-level Russians behind closed doors with no witnesses? A significant number of Americans are okay with this? Dont they recognize the avalanche of warnings that all point to dictatorship? Cant they see that 45 is destroying everything he touches?
On the heels of that cascade of sickening thoughts comes an even darker reality: there are many U.S. citizens with whom I cannot exist, now and forever more. Their views run utterly contrary and destructive to everything I was taught by my (Republican!) parents, in school, church, Scouts, college, and colleagues working in higher education. You watch a documentary or read a book on the rise of fascism in 1930s Europe, and grasp the identical pattern unfolding today, here, in one of the countries that went to great lengths to defeat tyranny, blind hatred and lawlessness a mere 75 years ago.
As you so well put it: living in a never-ending episode of The Twilight Zone. And if/when it does end, will we survive our collective close-call? All I can say for sure is THANK YOU and the others here and in my life who do get it, and are as deeply disturbed and concerned as we are.
Hang in there, friend.

Meanwhile, we're daily celebrating the fact that he may soon be either impeached, disgraced into oblivion, or locked up in jail....

(901 posts)they make money from click-bait headlines.
It has actually crashed my laptop and my phone from all the crap it loads on them.
At least they link to the original story they stole. I just don't understand why it's not the actual source link that's posted nor do I understand why we have to find out that source by first getting dumped on by Raw Story's website.

(33,643 posts)They rarely add anything original, but I appreciate their free synopses ...
However, they can be EXTREMELY click-baiting. So I take their every headline with the proverbial grain ...

You will receive a commemorative letter suitable for framing a month or two later with notice of interest and penalties due.
You're also perfectly free to celebrate early with no penalty, trust me........

(22,837 posts)Without fools there would be no wisdom. This we can say definitely applies.
Public shaming is the only thing that could possibly get him to blow a gasket and I'm all for that.
Next best thing...strapping him to a rocket and shooting him like a firework into space. Hold the date, indeed.

(14,157 posts)HOLD THE DATE! We be having one of the biggest election turnouts in the history of humankind on November 3, 2020. It will be called, Election Day, and will be held all over the country. Only entertainment needed is watching the news and seeing Trump having a meltdown.

LOL - maybe next we can have a Thursday in late November where people give thanks and eat turkey? How about people gather in Times Square on New Year's Eve to send out the current year and welcome the next year?
