It still has he same feeling. Usually I wear tee shirts with bright devices on the fronts with various color jeans and slacks. I just don't feel like getting out the brightly colored ones.

Skipping Thanksgiving completely did not help my mood. I was going to my in laws and worried about possible political discussions - most of the family is liberal, the ones hosting this year are very conservative. But my husband came home Wednesday sick so we stayed home.

Think back to the last GOP "president"...then go on a crack-fueled bender in Vegas for a month...that is just January 2017.

From there it gets exponentially worse until we find ourselves thrown out of NATO, facing international boycotts due to climate change denials in our "leadership" and the target of punitive economic sanctions by the UN and EU and China as a threat to global stability...

That should get us to next Thanksgiving.
Ain't this a fucking "great" country again?

or his voice. So I can't watch hardly any TV, and have to severely restrict my radio habits. I start to get very agitated when exposed to the idiot or his lackeys, and at my age this is not healthy for me. Lots of reading and Netflix in my future, I guess. I wake up every morning wondering what new horror awaits me today. And I am not a member of any of the groups he has in his sights, other than being a woman. I can't imagine what gay Americans, people of color, Muslims, etc. are feeling.

Trump's voters believed his "promises." They think he's going to build a wall between the U.S., that he will appoint a special prosecutor to jail Clinton, that he's going to deport millions of illegal immigrants, that he won't touch Medicaid or Social Security, that he's going to "bring back jobs," that his tax cuts will help the working class.

So what do we know so far?

No wall

No special prosecutor

No mass deportations

Paul Ryan is coming for your Medicaid and Social Security

He's only saved companies that weren't going to Mexico anyway

47% of Ryan's tax cuts go to the 1% immediately, with the majority phased over 10 years, and working class / poor families might actually pay higher taxes

So trust me...the kind of stupid that would lead a person to believe Trump's campaign "promises" can't be strangled out of them. It runs too deep. And what's about to happen to them is far worse than anything you could wish for them, and it will come at the hands of their savior.

Business is way off at the group antique shop where I rent space and another dealer told me his ebay business is down 40%. An older gentleman who volunteers at a local charity thrift shop had to practically be talked in off the ledge. Even the grocery store cashiers have stopped asked the standard "how are you" question. It seems to be the opposite of "mass hysteria:" "mass depression."

The meteorologists were desperately trying to warn people.

Yet the order to evacuate came much too late and too many people refused to leave.

Here we are watching as a Category 5 storm is aimed directly at the heart of our Democracy and our people.

People are going to suffer and die. We may not sustain the assault.

When it becomes real and any last shred of belief in this country will be gone along with electing an idiot creep who hates everyone but himself to the office. He has no redeeming quality. Not one single one. Even Bush was a good dad. This guy raises children who have no mind of their own. The worst children. Ivanka has enabled him-even while marrying a Jewish man she allows Daddy to bring neo-Nazi's into the white house. She enables his molesting of women by standing by him. She would probably stand by him if he murdered her own children. Why not? People with no conscience. The creepiest creepers on the planet in the White House. (and she's the good one-the sons look to me to be EXACTLY like Saddam Hussein's sons-that's a Bill Maher joke-but I think it's factual)

Tue Dec 6, 2016, 05:27 AM
Dec 2016

SNL and Obama (at the 2011 Correspondence Dinner) have proven that the best and ONLY way to throw Trump off of his game is to laugh at him and make fun of him relentlessly. Wherever Trump goes in public, there should be throngs of people following him, pointing and LOUDLY laughing at him for the disgraceful and goofy CLOWN that he is. This needs to be a national protest movement of laughter and it needs to be unrelenting and overwhelming.

This is especially true during the January 20th inauguration of this bozo in Washington DC. Think how Trump would just lose his mind if he was faced with hundreds of thousands of people just pointing laughing at him as he get's sworn in.

Angry mobs protesting Trump only feeds Trump's deep need to be taken seriously. He's an absolute JOKE and we decent people need to literally laugh him out of office by reminding him of this continually and wherever he goes. In short, we need to troll the troll and stop reacting to Trump's relentless trolling of us.

RIDICULE is Trump's kryptonite. It is also his main and only tactic against his opposition. Nothing else will even dent this guy. Why? Because trump is nothing but a colossal troll who feeds on outrage. EVERYTHING horrible Trump has done and/or said during the campaign, including all of his toxic appointments to his cabinet are nothing but trolljobs on the media and the decent people who oppose him. And it's working as intended. Everybody decent and normal is just foaming at the mouth and thus not thinking straight at all.

Let's give Trump a taste of his own damn medicine. It's time to take this clown down with laughter.

#TRUMPLAUGHBRIGADE

Please. Spread this idea around!


PS.

Paul Ryan too also needs to face an unrelenting laugh brigade dedicated to him as well, specifically when and if he tries to make ANY cuts to or to privatize Social Security and/or Medicare.
