10 years of my life

Trump has dominated the news every single day for roughly 1/5 of my life. I will never forgive his supporters. These pieces of shit that scream about saving children from pedos and protecting women. And they support an out right and in the open child fucker. I don't like to assign blame as far as people being good and evil. But Trump's supporters are outright evil. They are demonic and I don't believe in such things.

...we have Trump Exhaustion Syndrome.

He was in the news just as much, maybe more, during the Biden administration, as he was while in office.

Enough already!

case for PTSD for these past ten years. I, for one, would like to be compensated for that. First, I want trump and his demonic admin kicked out of not only office, but out of the U.S. Let them go to the Middle East or Russia, where their hearts truly lie.

Second, I want reparations. They can never give me back the years of wear and tear on my body, mind and soul. But a bit more in my SS check each month might go a long ways toward making some things right...

I want my share of taxpayer monies back that went to fund ICE and every other stupid, evil thing he's used it for.

10 years of hell. The media kept him front page everyday during President Biden’s Administration. I hate that the winter of my life is being spent full of anxiety and fear.

The Cuban Missle Crisis was my first National/World crisis I was 9 yrs old. And living in NYC the #2 target after DC!

Don't forget the assassinations! 😱 😭


Thanks goodness, I've had/have a lot serious interests that take me away from the upset, even if it does return. Mental health hours, days - I took a "No News Day" off yesterday. It was wonderful! 👍

Curling up under our desks drills, seemed to be a monthly drill and then all running out to stand in line to take the buses home, until there was an all clear. Kids were exposed to the news, we knew a bomb or war was going to happen. It was scary times, it seems scarier now.

I’ve felt compelled to watch what Repukes do. And as the years went by, their overall nastiness became more pronounced. Trump has allowed Repukes to let their freak show fly. I am now monitoring how they’re destroying American government with glee and wonder when Americans are going to say enough’s enough. I’m heartened to see the slow rise of resistance to ICE though. The constant need to monitor their actions is exhausting but we must fight back!
