So would I have standing to sue Donald Trump for personal injury?

Something has to give.

good to see you!

They vastly underestimated us. This will be their undoing.

I was wrong, maybe we should have a pool for Impeachmt Day

We can all loathe the SOB but I read plenty of posts where DUers are attributing physical illness to having Trump in power. Some are turning to sleeping pills and anti-anxiety/depression meds.

Damn, it's scary to think he wields that sort of power over anyone's individual vitality. Yes, he unfortunately can repeal Obamacare and thereby jeopardize health care for tens of millions of people. But we have to try to avoid allowing him to make any of us have such a visceral reaction that our well being is shot.

Deep breaths!

work for a print shop

but the women's march is a glimmer of hope.

I am all excited that the scientists have decided to march too! Yay, science!

seeing all the activism and becoming immersed in some simple from-home activities myself (I think that last is the key).

If there was an option to get on a spaceship and move to another fucking planet where there was either a sensible society or even just no fucking people at all, I'd be seriously considering it.

But then I realize that probably 60-90% of the people on our planet feel that way for one reason or another, and most are in a lot worse conditions than I'm in. There's a fuck-ton more of what I will presumptuously call "us" than there are of "them," so maybe that counts as some kind of glimmer of hope that the masses will overcome this blatant oppression? Who knows, maybe someday we will rise up, and hopefully in the aftermath humans will figure out how not to be such assholes to one another, so we can all cooperate and make things better for everyone.

But mostly right now I'm just disgusted, angry, and exhausted. I've also been working in the neighborhood of 12 to 16 hours a day this week, so that doesn't really help with my mood.

At this rate of ruining it'll be nuclear war by the weekend.

Fuck them all, they're not stealing my joy.

up about the 3 million non-votes all to HRC.

Angry that people are unwilling to see Twitler for what he is. Sad that people are so full of hate that hurting others seems like a reasonable goal. The fact they do it with their hand on the bible just makes it that much worse. I am having a hard time seeing the good in humanity. I'm not giving up but I never thought I would see this happen to my country.

I see the good in most of humanity, but I see the Republicans suppressing and disembowelling the good people.

I expect trump to decimate everything. But knowing that I am not alone and that there are millions of people with me gives me how and strength.

put upon; but resolute.

it does get worse every day, but i marched in DC with my family on Saturday and still feel the glow, trying to sustain it, stay active, etc, so i said glimmer of hope.

there ARE more of us than them. so we have to maintain the hope and work to the good. and survive. sigh.

If you're still feeling sorry for yourself, you're a wimp. Get off of your ass and get into the fight. I'm with President Obama and I am not a wimp.

If we weren't so old and totally dependent on Social Security and Medicare were would be seriously thinking about moving to another country.

And half expecting a 25th Amendment intervention at some point, considering how absolutely bugfuck Trump clearly is.

With today being the most terrible one yet. I'm deeply concerned about the damage being done to our country. I have a child and I'd like her future to be better than mine was at her age, not worse! I'm sitting here right now looking at her picture and thinking I can't let them destroy her hopes and dreams.

The end result is, I'm mad as hell and I want to fight these RW extremist.

into a facility.

Why couldn't Joe Biden have run?? He is a rockstar.

to roll up my sleeves and do something. I'm a doer. That is how i cope. I feel powerless as the memories of the Saturday women's marches fade. I can hardly imagine what it feels like to be an American right now. I have absolute hope for the long term though.

Im wondering if they will be burning climate scientists at the stake by the end of the year.

Maybe the Republican Inquisition will hold off until they destroy social security, ACA, Medicaid and start a nuclear war with China.

They have a lot on their plates, you know?

Minus the public burnings, of course.

There are very powerful hands at play here who want to completely destroy the fundamental principles of liberalism in the west, and American voters played right into their hands. Those behind this are laughing with glee at our foolish ignorance.

Now all of us have to pay for the ignorance of the minority for generations, and maybe longer.

I've got to give the devil his due, Putin is playing the USA and western democracies for fools.

He will use Trump to destroy the USA and NATO without firing a shot in anger. Russia and China will be the world powers in the future. All of Europe will be under Russian hegemony and we will be a client state of mother Russia at best.

Sun Tzu would be proud of his tactics no doubt. He was won the war before it started!

I mean Putin has the biggest win in history right now with no bloodshed required. I still think he will push his puppet BLOTUS Dump into a war with China though.

Then mother Russia would be the one and only undisputed power of the entire world.

The USA will be a backwater banana republic wholly owned and operated by the Koch bros and full of science denying theocratic mouth droolers.

After a full year of Trump insanity and total republican control I look for a brain drain to start taking place.

Scientists, researchers, and any discipline based in reality will have no place in a republican reality denying theocracy.

It's very sad to see how easy it was to take the USA out. Of course the USSR fell without a shooting war as well and now its our turn it seems.

While negative thoughts and emotions should be expected, the energy the bring about must be used to fight the good fight.

disgusted and enraged, but I have been disconnecting from the internet earlier and earlier each day to get on with some newly-developed hobbies and fun with friends. I'm making an extra effort to get out, take up painting, join organizations (not political) dedicated to my hobbies or general socialization, and travel a bit more. My mental health is getting more attention. Instead of reading the internet for hours, I do watch Cenk Uygur's YouTube news every night, which gives me an overview of the horrors of the day with a bit of humor. Love that guy.

Sad that millions, possibly billions, will suffer from what will be a severely flawed and abusive Presidency.
