Remember the great feeling of relief when all his chaos and attention-seeking nonsense ended after the previous term. At least we will have that to enjoy one day in the distant future.
Oh man. This post hits hard.
It was such an unpleasant thing to live through the first time.
The second time is worse, because it suggests... that we are (collectively) just not capable of learning... ??
I'm back to sleeping like a baby: I wake up every couple of hours, doomscroll to see if Trump has done a potentially planet-killing thing yet, then cry myself back to sleep.
Pro tip: if you never get more than two consecutive hours sleep, you will feel like shit 24/7.
So true. The workday in DC is half over by the time I open the news at 6am in Hawaii. I’m determined not to stress about it this time. My only concern is we are probably the first strike location from china.

Honestly, I'll find out about stuff in my own time, there's no need to get bombarded first thing in the morning.
