HEY! Shut up about "him" already!!!

[MyOwnPeace]

While we're all complaining about MSM placing too much coverage on "him" - a Washington Post article says he's fading away - and I'm wondering if we may be talking about "him" more than his own "Trumptroglodytes!"

1. Do you believe he will go away if we ignore him?

Do you think the threats that he presents will disappear?

Although it would be nice to never hear his piehole ever again, is it really wise to ignore him?

12. not giving him air time isn't the same

as ignoring him. He craves attention and he probably spends much of his day counting how many times his name was mentioned. I'm for not mentioning it and for god's sake quit showing me his picture.

[soothsayer]

2. Dude's very dangerous and bears watching.

Perilous to ignore him, as unpleasant as he is to think about.

It’s ok to say his ugly name too: Trump. Rhymes with rump and dump.

[agingdem]

14. I want the sonofabitch where I can see him!

[No Vested Interest]

3. I take comfort in believing firmly that Melania will never consent to returning

to the White House and perhaps never to D.C.
She's done the wifely bit and is finished.

He' s just doing his usual blowhard routine - he can't stop himself.

[MyOwnPeace]

4. And THAT is another interesting point......

I REALLY thought she'd be gone by now. Apparently Rudy was not part of drawing up the pre-nup - it must be a damned good one.....

[No Vested Interest]

5. You may notice we haven't heard one peep or photo of her.

She's had it, I believe, and will never go back to the perceived job of pleasing the public...

[11 Bravo]

13. Perhaps she realizes that if she never sees him again, she'll never have to kiss him goodbye.

[WarGamer]

7. It was silly hearing people predict that.

She's got it made, WHY would she leave?

They lead separate lives, she does what she wants with a bank account. She obviously is on the same page as him, politically so why do people predict she'd run away?

Laughable.

[Siwsan]

8. Maybe he's still with Melania because everyone else he's had an itch for turned him down

Any candidates have to be younger, more attractive, and have the LOWEST possible standards, when it comes to men.

Melania is obviously still getting SOMETHING out of the relationship ($$$$$$). As soon as that resource dries up, she'll try to move on to richer pastures or maybe take Barron and her parents, and move back to her home country with what ever financial resources she's managed to bank, maybe under one of her parent's names.

15. Idk, I think they *get* each other

Birds of a feather. They both run around prolly.

[Skittles]

11. LOL

as if she had any input the first time

[WarGamer]

6. WaPo is wrong.

Expect BIG rallies this summer.

Pent up COVID energy, fanatical supporters and a stick up their ass...

Trump's not going anywhere and the threat is real.

'22 is going to be crucial and I'm not hopeful.

What WILL WIN is good competent governance.

And focus on GETTING THINGS DONE, I don't want the Congress spending too much time on Unicorn legislation when MANY other pieces of legislation CAN be passed with this Congress.

Joe promised an increase to the minimum Social Security payout, $13k/yr IIRC.

Where are the thoughtful tax increases?

I'm expecting a recession next year, so let's show the people some real progress and not "just" the recovery.

[Girard442]

9. Joe's going to have to get things done by executive order.

It's a poor solution, but every alternative is worse.

[WarGamer]

10. That's OK. We need progress.

We CAN NOT get bogged down by un-passable legislation.

[soothsayer]

16. Getting things done matters less than jamming the vote suppression mechanisms

The GQP is ready to cheat their way to future victories by gaming the system. We’ve gotta beat them at this game.

Not by cheating, but by thwarting their attempts — only more on the offensive this time.
