Can I ask you to please just STOP for a moment?

We are all being swept along by the swift current of our yearning for this whole pandemic nightmare to be over. We have endured so much pain and loss and fear that experiences that would have shocked and enraged us several years ago have now been relegated to just another outrage for which we no longer feel outrage. We have begun to welcome numbness.

Trump is a monster.

He is not just "the former president"; he is not simply a "failure"; he is not even just a "bad person" or "our worst president"

Donald Trump---despite his cultist's insistence that he "developed vaccines in record time"---actually did NOTHING to contain or prevent or defeat the Corona virus. In fact, he lied to us about how bad it was while we lost over half a million mothers, fathers, grandparents, spouses, children and friends and he concerned himself with " the markets".

Trump was and is a monster.

We need to reclaim our common sense and our righteous indignation and treat him accordingly whenever and wherever he raises his scaly head.

I find it very troubling how many folks out there supported and still support Trump and the GOP.

Also find it troubling with as the good Biden initiatives, the news cycle spends so much time on Cuomo, the Royals, Mr. Potato Head, you get the drill, deliberate distractions as some chose to criticize the recent and substantial progress to get the nation stable.

"Trump Is Guilty of Pandemicide
History will show the former U.S. president was staggeringly negligent during the pandemic’s deadly third wave."

devoted fans realize they were duped. I know it is not likely but I still hope it happens. The mighty do fall so he really should beware the truth coming out. Who would have ever thought Bill Cosby would serve time in prison?? So heroes can turn to zeros if the right people get on the case. Let us hope that tRump’s turn to be revealed as the monster he is happens soon.

cronies, and his businesses. We don't need to reclaim our common sense and our righteous indignation because we never lost them. I really don't understand the point of this post. Oh, and btw, we can both enjoy spring and the lessening of Covid fear AND remember the crimes and disgusting actions of our previous CIC.

If they cannot, that means that the Trump Republican Party gained enough power to destroy democracy and the US. I’m still on the fence about which direction we will take. The 2022 and 2024 elections will tell the story.

... I tend to bristle a bit when someone invokes the currently fashionable Trump placeholder phrase, "The Former Guy" or TFG. That gives him too much credit. First, he doesn't perceive himself as former at all. He's thinking hard about being The Future Guy. Second, "guy" is just too kind a noun for that asshole. Besides, he isn't just a "former" asshole. He remains and will always be that.
