Dear God...

[sheshe2]

It has only been eight days.

[Peacetrain]

1. My husband and I have been having the same conversation

this has been like being dragged through the 7 levels of Hell...and it is only day 8.. What will 3 months feel like??????

[sheshe2]

4. 7 levels of Hell

That describes it perfectly, Peacetrain.

[tclambert]

13. I thought Dante said it had 9 levels.

[First Speaker]

24. Management closed two of the levels...

The Suits in Hell were too worried about the bottom line...

[sarcasmo]

6. Have supplies on hand, as a country we will feel this in some way and soon.

[vlyons]

7. Hold your seat. That's a Zen saying for staying calm

in the face of disaster, evil, fear, negative emotions, etc. We need to stay calm and focused on electing progressives at all levels of gov. We are more effective when we can look stupidity and evil in the face, and yet stay calm and hold our ground. Most (if not all) of Traitor Trump's antics are distractions and drama-acting-out to get attention. The truly dangerous evil are the criminal corporate republicans and fossil fuel industry, who easily fear-monger stupid, bigoted and fearful people. We can defeat this degenerate bunch of robber barons. YES WE CAN!

9. Nameste

[Blue_Roses]

33. Exactly.

Thank-you!

[mobeau69]

2. I like that a lot, sheshe.

[Greywing]

3. He swore to uphold the Constituion of the United States of America

and this week he has tromped all over it. I despise this POS with every fiber of my being

[TrekLuver]

11. He is violating the oath of office...is there no consequence for that? Same think with Bannon...by

calling the media the opposition...that is violating the oath of office to uphold and protect the Constitution.

[Eyeball_Kid]

20. Trumpy never did care about the Constitution. He's just in love with power and he took

the path of least resistance.

Now he has power. And we know what he does with power. He runs it into the ground, like his businesses that went bankrupt. Like the loss of a billion dollars in one year. These things all were known before the election. Over 60 million didn't care. They didn't care. Now we have this circus. This Putin-managed circus.

[SCVDem]

25. I swore an oath also

To protect this country against all foes foreign or domestic.

This qualifies!

RESIST!!!

[vlyons]

31. rest assured. Traitor Trump will get his come-uppance

All actions have consequences. The law of karma is just like gravity, in that it never stops working.

[lunatica]

5. There is good news here

There have been massive demonstrations and marches every single one of those days.

He has had to walk back on most of what he is saying.

We're not nearly as impressionable as we were when Bush was selected.

Unlike Trump, we remember history

Unlike Trump, we honor our Constitution.

Don't give up. We, The People, are far more united than you think

If he wins, it will only be a temporary situation. We will win it all back.

[grantcart]

8. Dana Carvey, "Trump is like a Batman villan"

in his Netflix special

[LisaL]

10. I expected it to be bad. But this exceeded my expectations.

[elmac]

12. I knew this is the what his presidency would look like

I just didn't think there were enough dirty tricks and stupid voters to get him elected.

[7962]

29. I was guilty of the same thoughts. nt

[Lulu KC]

14. It does feel different

This morning, reading the headlines with my coffee, was a turning point into a new zone. How many days have I said that this week?

[lillypaddle]

15. Heart sick

so fucking heart sick.

[watoos]

16. It wasn't my idea but I agree with it,

Trump is like a toddler with a loaded gun, I might add, his parents are his voters who think he's cute.

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. My adult son, after election: "Caligula, with nukes"

Now I have to agree with him.

[smirkymonkey]

17. +1000

[world wide wally]

18. If you think this is bad, wait till he starts rounding up Mexicans

I like my country and I want it back.

TAKE AMERICA BACK!

[SCVDem]

26. Bueno Suerte!

I stand with the Latinos!

[uponit7771]

19. lol... I had to laugh at something... this dude is fuckin nuts

[progree]

21. It's only Day 8 of The Resistance n/t

[LeftInTX]

22. I wish it was only a movie

[BittyJenkins]

23. Where is our balance of power?

Are there any Republicans that love our democracy more than power? I do hope there are a few.

[calimary]

28. Welcome to DU, BittyJenkins!

To answer your question - I don't think so. Haven't seen any, yet.

Those who flip, and start sounding more "reasonable" and reality-attached, must have concluded that their seats are in jeopardy in the upcoming midterms. And that change of heart will sustain itself until/unless they get reelected, then they'll march immediately back into the fold again.

[treestar]

27. Now that he is acting doing

Illegal shot it is time we start a movement for impeachment

[NastyRiffraff]

32. I have never hated anyone

as much as I hate this man. I'm not used to hating; it's making my stomach churn and my head ache. Still, I can't help but hate him.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

36. At the women's march I was at someone had a sign that said,

"Love Trump's hate." I do not know how that is possible.

[Tatiana]

34. I told myself I lived through Reagan. But this, I think, is on a completely different level.

I don't think I can do 4 years of this. Nor can most other people who love this country as well as the planet...

[DesertRat]

35. He's crazy and CRUEL
