Sometimes I can be having a perfectly good day when it is ruined by a sudden wave of

[Atticus]

nausea/disgust brought on by someone on TV or the radio saying "president" Trump. Just the sound of that title being publicly used to describe the most traitorous, corrupt, incompetent waste of skin to ever disgrace us as a nation is all it takes to jar me back to the reality of "Oh, yeah---he's still here!"

"Civil" you say? That ain't happening any time soon.

1. Me too

Those 2 words together or the sound of his voice...I can't deal with it.
Recently bought a used car that has satellite radio from the former owner. A truly wonderful way to not hear any news while driving. I LOVE the Beatles channel. I will pay to extend the subscription when it runs out.

2. Relax---I felt that way about Nixon------this too shall pass.

4. Nixon didn't have control of the entire government.

I don’t see good things.

[Atticus]

5. As someone old enough to have actively worked for Nixon's impeachment

and thoroughly despised the skeevy SOB, I'd take him back in a heartbeat if it meant getting rid of Trump.

11. Ditto here.

[DDySiegs]

15. I am in complete agreement with you!

[Leith]

8. Yeah... Pass

like a kidney stone.

[dhol82]

3. Just makes a shudder go up my back.

Need a better emoji.

6. If you can't turn it off, I find that putting on Mute and enabling captions helps

Just look at it now and then for the captions so you don't miss something big that you might actually want to hear.

Or turn it off and check in to DU now and then to see if there s anything worth turning on the tv for.

I use both methods and my stress level has been reduced. Wish I could bear turning everything off - but not there yet

7. A news video of detention camps was named "Casa El Presidente" & I gagged

But the daily wearing down of what the o.p. cites is as bad as it can be. & Nixon, Raygun, & Shrub seemed intolerable, and now what we're living through and living under is immeasureably, incredibly worse. At my age, it galls to finish up whatever shorter or longer time I've got left with our current, continual pain in the gut. DU has been a fantastical therapy since the brutal shock of Coup 2000, so there's that.

9. When your mind or emotions take you from a good feeling to a bad one,

focus on your breathing, focus on your shoulders neck back, loosen and relax them.

The bad stuff exists, don't be unaware of it, but make yourself physically comfortable, and get back to not feeling bad.

It's for the good of the country, as well as yourself.

10. Last night I was in a Trump Free News Zone.

My "radio" (OK, it's a Google Home speaker) is permanently on BBC World Service.

Newsday - BBC's news aimed at Africa in the morning - had no news that mentioned Trump. More pressing issues like Germany's government had sorted itself out over immigration policy, Ugandas tax on accessing social media, Cape Town South Africa no longer has a direct water shortage (they now have flooding) and Belgium beat Japan in the World Cup. Those were what I could remember being covered...

12. minngal

I feel the same way. I can't even stand to look at him!!

[djacq]

13. Translation, "Orange Clown"

[DownriverDem]

14. Right there with you

It's like a heavy weight & storm clouds over the country. We are all going to suffer because of dangerous trump and the corrupt repub party. I hate to say it, but I really want trump's cult followers to suffer. They deserve to suffer.

[ailsagirl]

16. Ditto here. It just GALLS me

He did not earn that title-- he STOLE it.

I will never consider him anything more than a good-for-nothing piece of garbage.

[Raine]

17. Mindfulness meditation

I've been using it for personal issues, it's been a great help all around.
