Trump's gonna do a lot of damage on his way out the door.

Or at least try. And yes, we absolutely need to get him out, ASAP, so don’t @ me. But part of me worries about Lame Duck Trump, and the fact that we know his nature, and know he’ll be looking to punish America for rejecting his ass. We need to be braced for him to be ready to go scorched earth when he loses.

I just wonder if the republicans will enable him.
Hope they finally find their spines and block the most egregious tyrannies.

For the reasons you have stated & the fact that this lunatic has repeatedly demonstrated his agenda is to destroy our country & he has the nuclear codes.

He may just play his time out on the golf course and charge us many millions for the privilege.

Destroying the USPS is his final gambit and that may not have any effect on the election at all, now everyone's wise to the scam. I think he's already given up.

I'll probably get a scolding for that, but it was irresistible to me.

He's ruined our economy.

He's ruined our ability to control diseases before they spread into pandemics.

He's ruined our reputation internationally.

He's ruined our post office.

He's further ruined our environment.

He's ruined our standard operating procedures of basic democracy.

He's ruined our education system.

He's ruined normal life as we knew it.

Fuck Donald Trump -- no American should be celebrating this goddamned idiot fool. Tar and Feathers are what he deserves.

months, assuming any of them could be put in place during those few months.

Let’s just kick his ass, that’s the best thing we can do.
