There is one good thing I was thinking of earlier...at least The Moron is out of the country and we do not need to change channels to avoid seeing and hearing him.

Except when they show his FULL remarks at (insert country here) which I can only stand to do highlights...usually only written cuz his voice curdles my brain...not to mention his attempts at sentences... *gag*

You have to tune it out from time to time for the sake of your mental health. Don't feel guilty about it. If you get too down, it will affect your life in deleterious ways and then you won't be able to be effective in ways that you want to be. Be good to yourself!

Like you, I can't stand the sight or sound of tRump, so for a long time I've been going to the BBC and Guardian in the UK for my coffee-time news. There are some good Canadian, French and German sites, too.

Their editorial content is excellent and the travel sections always have some soothing and interesting reads.

For a refreshing break, see:

Good luck, and you have plenty of company here with that same problem.

It's been a helluva year ...

It's felt like an alternate reality thread for a while now...hoping to return to a better reality soon
