More likely even heā€™s figured out that he has no chance of keeping it together for an entire uninterrupted 2 hour segment on live TV. Guyā€™s really coming apart at the seams and I donā€™t want to know whatā€™s gonna fall out when he pops.

The first thing a democrat president/admin will do after being sworn in? Seize Donaldā€™s passport

Thereā€™s no fun in that piƱataā€¦stillā€¦thereā€™s a lot whoā€™d like to take a few whacks anyway.

Tradition dictates that the outgoing president participate in the inauguration of their successor. While Trump is enough of a whiny-baby to skip out on that, it would indeed be a wonderful bit of poetic drama for the newly sworn-in president to slap the cuffs on him immediately, themselves. :heart_eyes:

Nice dreams, but sadly, tradition also seems to dictate that the incoming president overlook/forgive the crimes of their predecessor. Hell, the wife of the most recent one seems to have become besties with war criminal GWB. I can easily imagine a Democrat, should one manage to supplant Trump, letting all bygones be bygones.

I somehow doubt that; Trumpā€™s attempts to break democracy have transcended the leeway given to political opponents. In contrast, I expect there to be a fairly vindictive (albeit justified) pursuit of criminal charges against most of Trumpā€™s cabinet and many of his enablers and co-conspirators in congress.

However, I do tend towards optimism, despite evidence to the contrary.

Somebody has toā€¦ and thank whatever gods may be for you, because realists pessimists who are ā€˜just being practicalā€™ and are ā€˜just telling it like itā€™ is ALL THE GODDAMN TIME are fucking exhausting and depressing as hell to deal with.

(Wallowing isnā€™t my jam.)

Sorry, but I donā€™t think Iā€™m wallowing that way. I donā€™t think itā€™s pessimistic to point out whatā€™s happened in the past. Itā€™s one method toward preventing them from happening again. (Those who forget the past are condemned etc etc.)

I have great hope that Trump will be punished for his many crimes. Fingers crossed! After all, justice for great crimes is whatā€™s supposed to happen in the great U S of A.

Iā€™m just not one to forget while hoping the many instances in the past where that kind of justice didnā€™t happen, as well as the reasons why it didnā€™t happen. If expressions of that perspective strike you as exhausting and depressing, maybe just skip over such posts, instead of basically saying you wish people like me would shut the hell up? And maybe also let us know of the evidence you have for instead being cheerfully optimistic?

Didnā€™t mean you personally; sorry if that was inferred.

Thereā€™s a difference between actual realists and the pessimists who seem downright gleeful in their perpetual declarations of doom & hopelessness. To be clear, I donā€™t think that you are one of the latter.

Iā€™m no ā€˜Little Miss Mary Sunshineā€™ my damn self, as anyone familiar with me knows, and I have no ā€˜evidenceā€™ of anything other than my personal experienceā€¦ And I what Iā€™ve experience is that many people without any hope whatsoever often just give in and give upā€¦ and I personally canā€™t fuck with that, not even if shit seems completely hopeless.

Thanks for explaining, and I apologize for the misinterpretation.

Yeah. Same here really. Iā€™m glad itā€™s evident that Iā€™m not like that. I probably wouldnā€™t bother commenting at all if I were. Whining and groaning out my miseries seems to me like Iā€™d just be imposing myself on others.

Ha, glad you said it and not me! :wink:
