I'm starting to resent the idiots who voted for Trump about as much as I do the Republicans in Congress who didn't vote

to convict when he was impeached. Twice.

I hope those voters are happy now.

I hear people praising him all the time. There is still a significant element around who just love him.

They love what ICE is doing and they love how Trump has neutered Democrats

Resentment is not a healthy feeling either and I’m not happy I feel that way.

HATE is the first thing on their list. Trump has made it acceptable again.

We lost ground with demos we need to get back. I know, a lot of folks just want to watch Trump and the Republicans screw up and make pain for the "idiots" who voted for them. And, in that fantasy, the "idiots" just come running back to us, on their knees. (Yes, in fantasy, they can run while on their knees.)

That ain't reality though. We need to change. We need to get back our mojo, our credibility, and our message discipline.

voted for the deranged orange idiot. The pro-Palestinian protestors are still showing up to protest at Kamala's book tour. She's a private citizen now because of them. Don't they have the balls to protest at the tangerine king's events?

I'm having trouble feeling sorry for her and her family and friends. The only thing I'm thinking is that now she won't be around to see the havoc she wrought on the rest of us....

She had tried to convince me what a good thing was that he was voted in. I would have relished saying, "I told you so," but now I won't get that chance.

I'm only two generations removed from the Klan. It has always, only, and ever been about hatred. Nothing else even comes close. They live for their hatred. They thrive on it. They revel in it. They will never relinquish it. And they will always claim that it is others who are doing the hating.
