"A predator is most dangerous when wounded."

Sorry, I don't know who said it.

I'm referencing Donald Trump at this stage of his presidency.

I don't regret that we voted him (legally) out of office.

Am I apprehensive of what he could possibly do because of the shame, embarrassment, and fate that awaits him? Sure.

But he was a dangerous animal while in Office and he made no bones about staying there indefinitely.

So, that's essentially a dilemma where both options suck. At least with him leaving, the bleeding will eventually stop.

When our abusive father was still alive, my sister would warn me that if I "got Dad mad," I'd be disinherited. I figured, no matter what I said or did, I'd still be disinherited. While I didn't tell Dad what I really thought of him, I didn't hold back my opinions. Punchline: Dad died. His Will was read. He disinherited me and my sister and my brother. They didn't have my courage and still got caught up in Dad's desire to punish us from the grave. While I didn't get the money, I have the satisfaction that I fought back when I had the chance.

1. My abusive mother has threatened many times

to disinherit me. My brothers have said they will not allow it. They will share.

2. Our father left $35,000 to the neighbor across the street.

Just to burn us further.

4. That sucks.

5. There's more. The strategy behind Dad's disinheritance of all of us

was to make my brother and my sister turn against me. Specifically, he hoped they would blame me for their disinheritance. (If I hadn't been such a terrible daughter to Dad, then he wouldn't have to punish all of us. This was a theme during our childhoods)

Fortunately it didn't play out that way. My siblings and I have never been closer.

3. Deep down, he is a coward and a wimp

He will just tweet and fire a few people but he will leave peacefully despite the bravado.

He has a dilemma -- his future business model depends upon the cult's adoration. If he shows weakness, he is afraid he will be exposed as a wuss and they would leave him. So while he acts like in control, he makes an ass out of himself to people like us - but we are not his future customers and/or audience.

This is precisely why he would resign in some reality TV way rather than be there to do any work.

A good side effect would be if he is so pissed off at the world, he shall stick it to his cabal and doesn't pardon any of them. (Because they are not hurting as much as him)

6. What I know is that chaos reins in Chumpy's head! There's no telling what that psycho will do.

7. According to WH aids

Wants to know his options on bombing Irans nuclear facilities.

What a fucking nightmare these next two months may turn into.

9. I'm counting down the days until Joe takes over, 12 noon 1/20/21.

8. In some cases it's the opposite. They are people I know who have loving parents but

are looking forward to them dying so they can get the inheritance money. Truly sickening when you think of it.

10. My uncle told me that once when he asked his son (my cousin) how he was doing

The son replied, "just waiting for you to die". WTF? My uncle still left his entire--sizable--estate to his son, his only child.

After my aunt died, my almost 90 year old uncle was left to clean out the house and get it ready to put on the market. The son came--for a month from his home in Seattle--to the family home in Pasadena. Then just picked up and went back to Seattle after a month. Left a lot of work to be done. I flew out to CA from my home in NC and stayed 10 days to help. The neighbor across the street who had been like a daughter to my aunt and uncle for 30 years helped with the rest of it.
