Every day since Obama left office it has been political news

Groundhog day. The orange asshole sucks all of the oxygen out of the room. His daily outrageousness hijacks the ineffective, overmatched media. I pop in here daily to watch surprise and outrage at his latest caper.

Are any of you actually still surprised at anything he or his cult do.or say?

This psychopathic narcissist has played the world like a fiddle, as those who are "normal" strive to grapple with and make sense of his mental illness. The result has been constant normalization.

Everything he has or ever will touch has, or will, turn to a steaming pile of feces .

It will not change until he's taken his last fetid breath.

When "normal" becomes abnormal, the world is no longer a place fit to live in. It's not just the normalization done by media, etc., it's the constant drum of cruelty all around us. It's soul-killing.

10. Trump/Putin/MAGAs are deliberately crushing the American soul.

They do this by demoralizing, humiliating, destroying all that we love and cherish.

Our freedom, rule of law, the arts, the White House, education, science, healthcare, the economy, the federal govt., etc.

We used to have pride in our country, and our values. Home of the brave, land of the free.
It meant a lot to us. Trump is stealing all of it, destroying it piece by piece.

They are killing the souls of Americans.

And you're right, by design usually he wants all the attention and gets it. He doesn't give a damn if anyone likes what he has to say. Is swan song similar to lame duck? Either way, he and his admin are stupid as Maddow points out often. Hopefully that will be their downfall.

8. Obama and Democrats since bashed as status quo status quo status quo (the go-to insult meaning corrupt)

and whining about change, shaking things up, no milquetoast, no coastal elites who studied in college. Wishes come true!

No status quo, every day is chaos! Change every day! Exciting extremist comedy, drama, horror entertainment every day! No brains anywhere!
