It will be an exceptionally long ten months. Every night I say, "this has to be the most unbelievable gut punch yet". But oh no. This fool of a human just keeps up with all the nonsense, hatred and stupid decisions that made what he did yesterday less offensive. That's where we are. Worse and worse.

But on the lighter side it helps to think about the DJT theme song!

I could while away the hours,

Conferring with the flowers,

Consulting with the rain,

And my head I'd be a scratchin',

While my thoughts are busy hatchin'

IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN!

Trump is an unbelievable jerk and then I think of the previous President who didn’t know what day of the week it was. I think the only thing he was cognizant of was the money coming from China to his family. Hopefully one day the country will get a decent and effective President.

“So you’re okay with him pardoning the President of Honduras, who was convicted by a 12-person jury and sentenced to 45 years for trafficking drugs, and then staging a kidnapping in Venezuela and prosecuting Maduro for the same thing?”

Outrageous. This is makes my blood boil. I'm glad you highlighted it.

Pretty scary for a New Year, I can only hope that most will see the satire. We are totally, irrevocably lost if fighting back subsides due to fatigue! New Year, new resistance!!!

Whenever I tell a Trump joke... I find that I have to explain to some people that I AM joking. His behaviour is so absurd and irrational, that people tend to believe that any exaggerated bizarre statement made in jest, COULD be true. I'm doing my best to keep my sense of humor... For me, at least, Often, if I wasn't chuckling, I'd be sobbing....

What is Congress waiting for? A mass

orgy on Kool-Aid?

All members of congress need to pay a price for allowing this S itShow to go on.

Someone needs to explain how this is going to end.

Thanks Nick.

Colombia, Nick. Not 'Columbia.'

This error is committed widely, including by media representatives paid in seven figures.

Yes, I'm nitpicking, but . . . what can I say. I'm an editor.

I can also say "Happy New Year."

Wow, a lot of people are tired of the anger. As for me, I've stopped listening to the news, I canceled my cable tv and am watching European tv shows on MHz. Most are fun and non political. Are you sure your friend was not teasing you?

Nicely written and unfortunately true for so many

Love you Nick, truly. Every day feels like Ground Hog’s Day and not in a good way! All day, every day - practicing releasing judgement and opening to compassion and peace for all beings. 💗🙏🕊️💗
