Well please share tips, because I'm already done. I'm completely batshit crazy now, and I haven't (and can't) watch the news, simply because the media has sold us out to get this very chaos.😡🤪
Bravo George! This whole Matt Gaetz as AG Nominee has me reeling. I need to check out, and you offer some great suggestions to afford Trump, Musk and his band of pedophiles as little of my attention as possible. Thank you for being the adult in the room.
Great piece. I intuitively took those precautions right after the election but had already grown weary of cable news shows and their Trump saturation. We need a lot less political commentary in our lives—maybe none? I’m hoping Stephen Colbert stops using Trump in his monologues. Make him irrelevant.
In all honesty I really don’t think he’s going to last four years. His father suffered from Alzheimer’s and dementia. Every time I hear the Donald speak I have to wonder if he’s not on the same slippery slope.
George, the problem is you and I will be fine. Agitated and angry, but fine. He’s going to hurt a lot of good people, but as my wife says; like a drunk this country has to hit rock bottom.
Thank you! One of my strategies is to never, ever say his name. During his first term I called him 45. This time I am thinking of calling him “The Occupant”.
I love this. Though, the time we save not dealing with these imbeciles should be used to fix the Democratic Party. Cause there has to be something done about them.
By Providence’s Grace all shall be able to pull together thru his&his rambouillets reign of terror…mine&me,don’t wish him harm lest he’ll become redneck folk’s hero;we wish him suffering old age rife with incurable illnesses,enduring pain like one can never imagine.Only thence he be expired…Amenx7!
I will NOT listen to MSM & I will not hear the felons voice ONE TIME. This will be the first time that I won't listen to any Presidential addresses or Press Secy. I plan to do the exact opposite of every suggestion they make. If they recommend bleach, I will use fabric softener. #LIARS.
Doing the same, and quickly finding it’s important to think about not just randomly filling the old news time. Started “Lessons from a Stoic, How Emerson can Change your Life” which gives practical approaches finding our place and managing our interactions in the world. Recommend.
Not to be too much of a doomsayer but I don't believe that it will end in four years. I have never seen a despot deposed after a single term. we may be in for shock at mid terms too.
He doesn't plan on more elections.
I used to enjoy watching the live evening news but I just can't anymore. Now I watch the previous night's episode the next morning so I can mute or fast forward anything about him.
I just keep reminding myself that this is the last time he'll be in the WH & that helps a little bit.
💯 No TV news for me, which I wasn’t watching anyway until the hopium got me. Then I quit cold turkey (got fooled twice; shame on me). I do my best to stay informed and focus on what’s nearest to me.
George - I’m right there with you! Haven’t watched cable news since 11/6/24 and it’s done WONDERS for my mental health! 😎
I’m going to enjoy my life - despite the slow destruction of our government! F*kk ‘em!
Fabtasticly stated! I thrived on cable news and being informed and blah blah blah.. where did they get me after the election.. absolutely nowhere ,, now I’m reclaiming my time
Hating that I’ll be 80 when I get to vote again. As a lifetime activist and supporter of women’s and civil rights, the current climate feels like a slap in the face.
I'm trying to keep a sense of irony as we embark on this Trumpie Train. He's mortal & his own worst enemy because of his hubris. NO ONE is guaranteed tomorrow, life is a day by day gift. Butter up the popcorn, find a 3-leg stool & watch the fireworks and protect your neighbors the best you can.
Yea I don’t think humor will be high on my list when they start to take away our brown neighbors & friends when they make women 3rd class citizens & they’re killing and making homeless our beautiful elderly citizens & when they decide it’s time to put our black neighbors to the back of the bus again
I'm patiently waiting for the buyers' remorse to set in. If we learned anything, Americans vote by the size of their wallets, and in 2 years, this admin will feel their wrath.

I hate to be like that, but I’m just done.

What follows may indeed be worse, but I don't believe he'll make it past '26.
