We got through the four years, barely. But he's still in the foreground, dominating the news.
I hope his physical and mental health continues to deteriorate. Its the only way to make him go away.

(14,051 posts)unless its related to him being charged with crimes. Ive decided to pay attention to my mental health and focus on doing things I can do to help Democrats locally and nationally.

(833 posts)I heartily recommend that we all adopt this position. Now, if we could only convince the media to follow suit.

The world moves on; its time to crawl out of the orange rut.
Like you, I have little things I can do in service to my community, and I best see to them.

(63,922 posts)we shouldn't be just what he craves. How about the media are they doing it too, I'm not watching political matters today.

(9,696 posts)The impeachment trial is in the news, obviously. There will be legal issues in both Georgia and New York. But the republicans and the media will continue talking about him - speculating on 2024, etc. It's not going to end any time soon unfortunately. Mostly due to republicans dreadful power mongering.
I'm doing my best to focus on democrats and what we can and are doing.

(13,551 posts)I do wish the media would stop talking about him NOW! I wish we would stop talking about him as well here on DU. Sorry, but that is how I feel.

(7,341 posts)Now that it's over let's do our best to ignore him. The media of course is addicted to him like heroin and are solely responsible for the quagmire clusterfuck the past 4 years.

(1,338 posts)I went to Huffington Post this morning and the front page is trump, trump, and more trump. No different than the last 5 years. Not a single Biden article (and they are very anti-trump). I am so sick of seeing him and having his stupid face in my face. Yes--if he ceased to exist, the MAGAts would go away, Q would go away, Senate r's would have no one to be in terror of while worshiping, it would all just go away, like the miracle he promised would happen when covid just went away last April. The whole world would be a far better place.

(90,793 posts)Trumpistas are still with us, worshipping El Caudillo del Mar a Lago. And given the cult-like nature of their worship, they will still be with us even after he kicks the bucket. They are not giving up.
The Old Confederacy has been revived, only metastasized far beyond its original borders. The Confederate battle flag is now proudly flown and used as decor on cars and clothing is places that never were slave states, and often were not even states back then. They are not going away.
Trump is still grifting. Trumps spawn have political ambitions themselves. You think this is a joke? Somehow I think Marco Rubio does not think its amusing that Ivanka is going to primary him. Ivanka is reputed to be Donald in a dress. Junior egads Junior is trying to be his daddy, but he just does not have that gold-plated huckster conman persona worked out. Every time I see another of his videos online he looks sick and desperate. They are not going away.
I would LOVE to shut the door on this episode, but we are still in it.
That said, Id like to hear a lot more about Bidens progress!

(19,204 posts)He must be a real asshole, whoever he is. I sure wouldn't want to be in his shoes, I'll tell you that. I hope everyone here can avoid him too.
Jon King
(1,910 posts)I am so over it, don't care what he thinks, what his cult members think. I drive by Trump corner last Friday, 15-20 cultists on the main intersection in FL. waving their flags. They have been there every Friday afternoon for 5 years.
Back in the day I would want to flip them off, a month ago I looked at them and laughed....last Friday they really didn't even register. Just drove by without a second thought.
There isn't much left of interest now that the impeachment vote is done. He and his supporters have zero to add to anything. Yawn.

(3,547 posts)Every time he sneezed a doctor appeared. We all summarized that if taken to Walter Reed late at night something was up of great concern. And of course we were kept in the dark. Now he goes it alone. With his diet and lack of exercise who knows what is in store for him.

(9,111 posts)The trial was a foregone conclusion. I already had a very good idea of what happened on Jan. 6th. I did not need the moment-to-moment drama and theater. (I'm not saying the trial wasn't necessary for a full accounting of what happened. It was incredibly important it be done. I'm just saying I personally didn't stand to benefit from experiencing it).
I'm focused on the Biden administration. What is he doing, what's coming next, what needs to be done to repair what Trump has smashed, cracked, or broken.
I don't want to talk about that man any more. I'll keep apprised of any criminal cases involving him. I'll support full accountability and hang him around the neck of the Republican party at will.
I just don't feel the need to talk about him on the daily. The boil is lanced. I don't want to constantly pick at the scab. I want to know how to bandage it.

(26,630 posts)major political party, all of which remain an immediate and existential threat to our republic.
I personally wish he would stroke out as a late Covid complication, but we're likely stuck with him as a significant threat for the foreseeable future, sadly.
