continue working from home, she said, "Hey, I'm back in the office." And when the CDC decided to let unvaccinated people run around without masks without having to show proof, she was so happy she got tears of joy in her eyes. Didn't she used to work at Faux News?

Unless the gaslighter in chief is pretending to be in charge. He was always just distracting from his personal grifting anyways.

Some people are slow to get that what made Trump interesting was a parler trick and had noting to do with the business of governing.

Interesting is not how I would characterize it, though I understand what she is saying. More people look at a flaming wreck than at something typical, like say a train running on time.

It is really sad that humans are wired to turn their attention to spectacle. Life is not spectacle. It is about stability, security, and some excitement (positive excitement) thrown in occasionally.

Living through 5 years of Trump was completely exhausting. The constant scandal and outrage was not good for ANYONE's mental health.

To even frame it this way in jest (most charitable interpretation) is pretty stupid.
