I know, lotsaya are new here.......and I love DU, but I think I'm getting to old to read all the

[a kennedy]

tRump topics……EVERYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY NOW IS ABOUT “IT”. HIM, OLD ORANGE FACE, OLD ORANGE PIECE OF SHIT, OLD SEX MANIC, OLD BUSINESS, OLD ENTREPRENEUR, OLD LIER, and ok OLD EX PRESIDENT.

I’ve done my best to just ignore everything about what’s going to happen, NOW, already he, IT, is changing our life. He has all power. So…..

I’m just watching movies, some shows I like………AND NO NEWS WHICH HAS ANYTHING TO DO ABOUT THE NEXT FOUR YEARS OF OUR LIVES…….

GOOD-BY……and

HOPE WE’RE HERE IN 5 YEARS.

1. I'm checking into DU from time to time the lounge, photography, the pets

But like you, I am studiously, avoiding all news programs, watching old movies and BBC murder mysteries

[Irish_Dem]

2. DU is a political forum and we discuss politics.

We are first hand witnesses to one of the most astounding and horrifying political events in US history.

We can hardly ignore it on a political forum.

7. It's just a pity that, on a political forum, the only assessment of our defeat

Is limited to blaming the voters, that is, punching down.

Punching up will not be tolerated, so little will be learned that might be learned. (sigh)

[Irish_Dem]

9. There is more than enough blame to go around.

Our entire US government failed us.
And We The People failed us.

[Seeking Serenity]

12. It's just a shame we can't do any analyses or critiques of the campaign or the party elites whose decisions helped put u

Where we are now.

(But I'm not criticising the forum or the forum's rules, because that's against the forum's rules. No, I am not.)

13. There have been some postmortems here.

And finger pointing.

The elite Dems in DC are probably meeting and discussing these issues as we speak.
Sitting in smoke filled backrooms with bottles of scotch.

I think we are looking at a combination of D pilot error and R cheating.
Mostly R cheating, but allowing that to happen is an error too.

3. DON'T LEAVE US!----

I hear ya, I have stopped watching the news on TV---

all I know about what is going on, I get from here, and articles on a smartphone newsapp---

I can handle reading about it better than watching or hearing his stupid drivel,
but i prefer to know some facts

[stillcool]

4. I don't own a television anymore

and music is my thing on the computer. But still, the lack of any news other than "As the trump-world turns" is disturbing. It's like someone pulled the plug on all but the noise-makers, and their news-noise hardly gets through...at least for me. Still creepy.

6. It's been 24/7 Trump for 8 years. I wish he'd just...nevermind n/t

[BigmanPigman]

10. Death is too good for him...

What makes me sleep at night is imagining all of the horrible torture methods used in the Spanish Inquisition, Japan's Unit 731 human experiments during WW2 and the Nazis.

It may seem morbid but it puts a big smile on my face, temporarily. And tRump isn't the only psychopath I envision suffering thoroughly until they are taken home to their Big Daddy Satan (aka tRump).

And I'm a pacifist...but Karma needs to step on it ASAP

15. Over 9 years

Since he came down the escalator in 2015.

16. Divine intervention almost took care of it..

it still could, no one lives forever.

8. I have a gigantic filter/Trash list that makes DU readable for me without most doomposting.

The home page does not honor your trash list, so proceed with caution there.
Actually, I am scanning posts for ideas to build an even stronger (and more positive) community outside DU, and for ways to help idiots spend less time on social media.

I was inspired by this post:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219684056
A healthier way to get friends away from social media

But not in the same ways. That's what I am working on now.

And of course, the opposite for good folks. Instead of wasting time, spend it helping each other survive and thrive and restore the country to one of equality, dignity for all, fairness, great opportunity and the success of the average citizen, not rule by the wealthy.

I keep posting graphics to that effect!!



Gotta get them to spend less time hypnotized by the propaganda machine.

11. Can't blame you

Good luck.

14. Yep. The autopsy should never be worse than the murder. ☠️
