I just realized something and why I have felt out of sorts for the last 6 years......

It was four years of the orange piece of shit, AND two years of Covid. I’m just realizing why I’ve felt like crap ALL 6 years……4 years of him and 2 more years because of him. SIX DAMN YEARS. I JUST WANT HIM GONE.

I retired in 2012, kicking and screaming, because I had to have 4 abdominal surgeries. I'm glad I did now.

I enjoyed covering Joe Biden when he was Vice President. Had covered him as a senator for a while. And I live in his neighborhood. But covering the president is a whole other level of hard work. Dealing with security and I can’t imagine the morons that show up.

The guy was hard enough to report on for native English speakers. Trying to cobble together a coherent narrative from any of his utterances, my heart goes out to rest of the world's media employees.

so I'm right there with you. If I had to be inside the classroom....well, I wouldn't have. I would have quit. Just no way am I going to do that.

6. My blood pressure was normal until Trump came into our lives.

I was particularly affected because my former husband was a pathological narcissist and I was triggered by the red angry face and the mean spirit, regularly. My blood pressure was regularly up into the stroke zone.

In May 2021, I started taking the anti-stress age old supplement Ashwagandha. I'm off all blood pressure medicine.

Only those with a moral compass of their own saw how twisted TFG was, and what he tried to turn the country into.

Those without their own moral compass quite enjoyed TFG's 4 years of depravity and insanity. Owning the libs! Yeay!

If you felt your mental health was threatened, take it as a good sign. I did.
