This 8 year nightmare just never ends.

We were in our late 60's when tnis nightmare began, now in our mid 70's with non-stop tfg news in our face 24-7'....and there is just no escape.....even if we could move to another country it seems the whole whole world is influenced by this person. I feel the whole country needs a couple years of therapy. Not to diminish what our troops have been through, but this sure feels like PT SD in our house. Damn this man.

How he’s spilled his blood for the country? I wonder if he’ll start agitating again for a Purple Heart?

His absence wasn't a refreshing change is because it was replaced by all the bs about Biden for two weeks.

The martyr thing won't stick, something will top this eventually. We have months to go before we rest, sort of, for a couple months ...with these assholes, it's like there's never a day off.

and you're correct, there is no escape.

I live in the Philippines 50 weeks a year. I have satellite TV. I get CNN US, CNN international, CNA (Singapore), Australia (ABC), BBC out of GB, France 24 (English speaking), One News (Philippines), CNBC, Al Jazeera, as well as all the commercial networks (HBO, Netflix, Cinemax).

Every fucking news station starts with Trump or is the second story besides their own elections (BBC, Fance 24) or al Jazeera (Gaza). But, as you said, there is no escape.

Constantly keeps everyone off balance, confused, upset.

Creates learned helplessness, or hostility.

This is what Putin and the GOP want.

It’s never been the same since he came down the escalator in 2015. I was naive to think that once he lost in 2020 we would finally be rid of him. I was wrong. What will it take to never hear his name mentioned in every broadcast, every article, etc? He escapes everything and last night proved it. He will NOT go away, no matter what.

Coincidentally for work. I'm not financially well off enough to pick up and leave due to political winds.

But the news in Japan just covered trump non stop. It was unbelievable. Can't escape this asshole. Even when biden became president. Same thing.
