DU has turned me into an addict!

[Shanti Mama]

I'm completely addicted to checking DU for updates on the downfall of trump.
I'm getting completely into the drama. It's crazy.
HELP!

PS first lounge post

1. I am also addicted. Have been so for almost a year.

I am unable to work and am home most of the time so DU is my closest family and friends.

[unblock]

2. i believe i said right after the election that one small silver lining

would be that du was about to become a much better place....

[Shanti Mama]

3. I'm a complete drama queen about this.

I was really irritated last night by the coverage of the attack in Manchester. I KNOW lives were lost, etc, but I wanted to see Rachel analyze the WaPo breaking piece.

[Dem_4_Life]

12. Me too!!!

I was so annoyed last night I needed my Rachel fix and her covering the Manchester attack is not the same.

4. it saved my sanity after the election.....

... as I swore off all news media, cancelled my newspapers and didn't watch news at all...just got my daily fix from DU...until...FLYNN got fired. Then I knew it was safe to venture out again. I still read DU before my email every morning tho.. AND I have made a few friends

5. We can't help you here

[redwitch]

7. Don't look at me I've been here for 14 years!

It IS addictive!

[orleans]

15. omg-- you made me check my profile with your 14 years

and this november will make my 13th year here

ah, du, offering so much to so many

the pleasure, the comfort, the knowing you're not alone or that others think & feel like you do

the time spent, the learning, the updating of life events

the silliness & goofiness

the time that has passed, and the life that has passed

and through the downturns of time

and the rushing of it

i remain. not happily in general. but glad to be on du and a part of du.

17. I joined in '04

I lurked the first Bush presidency, then got so mad after the Kerry defeat, that I finally joined.

With as fast and furious as this Trump stuff is moving, if I'm away from the news for more than ten minutes, then I'm behind on what's going on! We need a DU bullet list for people to use to catch up.

8. My name is luvMidog and I am a DU addict

yep. I'm glued here because I'm waiting with baited breath to read " Trump Impeached and jailed for treason"

9. Fasten your seatbelts. Its going to be a bumpy night.

[Aristus]

10. Welcome to the Lounge!

Let me buy you a drink.



Yes, it's addictive. Why else do you think I've been here sixteen years? DU got me through the GWB years; it'll get me through this current load of crap.

It was a great place to celebrate while Barack Obama was President.

It's a great place to drown your sorrows and share your grief in the bad times.

Loungers stick together...

[TomSlick]

11. Yeah, me too

My wife finally convinced me to checkout DU recently. I learned we are not alone! I love the conversation.

[ailsagirl]

13. Welcome, TomSlick!!

14. Reading and venting about rethugs is the gateway.

Then you get into the different groups. Then the memes. Before you know it, you get hooked to the Lounge. You will find yourself going to the Lounge every sunday to see lolcats.

16. This place is like therapy for Trump Depression

I am glad he is out of the country right now, and not messing up stuff back home.
