1. Hear, hear!!!!!

This will be tRump at his worst. We have seen a lot recently but tRump plans to destroy the USA and take us down with him. He is an extremely vengeful, sadistic psychopath. He is dying. He blames the American citizens and his agenda is to destroy what's left.

2. And the vast majority of citizens are determined to stop him, he has intentionally engendered hate

And now it has backfired on him, no big surprise...

6. I won't be able to relax since I will never trust him.

He always comes back, like a bad meal.

I can not let my guard down for a minute. Americans have shown they are dumber than dirt too often....I am older but wiser!

Tonight I spoke with an old friend who I haven't spoken with in a year. She is a fellow teacher and a Dem (I only associate with Dems). She thinks the tide is turning with American voters and they are realizing tRump is a 100% liar. I hope she is right but I have gotten my hopes up too many times to count. I am skeptical.

7. I can't think of anyone I know fairly well who can stand him

And given all the chaos - and now deaths - he's responsible for (including the rest of the world turning against us), I can't imagine him lasting another three years (especially since his health is in decline).

4. most dangerous moment?

only the cuban missile crisis is close.

our instant communications and global transportation, make previous centuries' crisis seem localized, nuclear weapons and biological stuff make any crisis a possible world ender. throw in a senile single minded blowhard... well do they still keep that doomsday clock? union of concerned scientists?

January 28, 2025 – WASHINGTON, D.C.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Science and Security Board (SASB) has set the Doomsday Clock at 89 seconds to midnight, marking the closest it has ever been in its 78-year history. This historic adjustment underscores the alarming trajectory of global risks and highlights the urgent need for immediate, collective action to avert catastrophe.

5. Good Grief!!!

And we know who - in only a year - turned our long-time allies against us and has threatened how many other countries - so far...
