Don't forget the cannoli.

Freakin' BREATHTAKING!!!

APPLAUSE!!!

The Trumptanic!!!

O. M. G. !!! That’s freakin’ WUNNNNNNderful! Thirteen-year-olds can be incredibly discerning!

That's exactly what they are: unsung heroes.

That’s one of the toughest jobs there is - SO much tension and stress. They’re totally responsible for all those innocent lives in those airborne metal tubes. Every minute of every shift of every day.

And as far as trump, it's kind of a shame. He's one so-called "pResident" who has richly earned it.

It certainly would be a cautionary tale for future Chief Executives, though. DON'T BE THAT GUY, because you won't like the penalties that come with being that guy.

I do NOT want him able to retire in pampered luxury with the golden toilets and the golf courses and the continued ability to scam and screw his contractors and subcontractors and lie his ass off - and probably start in on Trophy Wife #4. I DO NOT WANT THAT! I want him to taste consequences, at long last. And not just taste consequences. Force-fed them. Even in his 70s, after an ENTIRE LIFE of cheating and lying and screwing people and not playing by the rules and always getting away with it - up til now, anyway. THAT'S what I want to see ENDED!!!! He needs to be made an example of. NO Get Out Of Jail Free cards for him no matter WHO he has on his legal team.

I want him to pay and pay dearly. I want him even more publicly humiliated than he was yesterday by caving to Nancy Pelosi. I want every historian to come, and even those on that side of the aisle, AND all the Deplorables, too, to curse his name til they breathe their last. I want him to lose and lose BIG, including serious affronts like asset forfeiture and public disgrace and loss of freedom. I want ALL his toys taken away, and never to be recovered by him. There HAS TO be a cost for what he's done - to this country, and the threat he's become to the entire planet at this point.

I want him to have to pay for this shitty, selfish, sneaky, greedy, deceitful, arrogant, opportunistic, willfully ignorant (and proud of it), totally thoughtless and hurtful life he's led. If there are no consequences for that, then he won't EVER learn anything meaningful, and worse: NOBODY ELSE will, either. If he's allowed to skate past this, he'll just become a role model for how to be a shitty, selfish, sneaky, greedy, deceitful, opportunistic, arrogant, willfully ignorant (and proud of it), totally thoughtless and hurtful person and be REWARDED for it!

There MUST be consequences. He's never really faced ANY. In his whole life! And he's in his 70s now! His story needs to be a lesson for us all. And our children. And their children. And THEIR children. And on from there. Now and forevermore, amen, dammit!

On edit - I didn't mean for this to sound like I'm piling on you, scarytomcat. But I just can't stop thinking about all the people he's hurt, and screwed over, and all the needless destruction he's caused, just because baby still demands his bottle after he already had plenty. I can't stop thinking about all the rules he's broken or defied - that others not unlike him, coming up in the years after him, will take as precedent and will feel free to follow that rotten disgraceful pattern-from-Hell so that MORE people are hurt and screwed over, and MORE destruction is caused, because they know they can point to what he did and got away with, so why shouldn't they, too? This has to become a cautionary tale. With a VERY sobering warning as a moral to the story. HAS TO. Even with the shutdown more or less ended, the suffering won't stop, and far too many of our fellow Americans will likely NEVER recover. This shutdown hurt not only 800-thousand federal workers. All the contract workers who aren't entitled to back pay. The small businesses who suffered a huge setback from which they may not be able to recover completely. The TIME that's been lost. The BENEFITS that have been lost. The ground lost, health-wise, by having to cut back or do without necessary meds. The list goes on. And that's only part of the story.

He needs to be held FULLY accountable. And he needs to PAY.

+ ANOTHER million.

I'd just like to remind, AGAIN, about what it means, and what results it gains us, WHEN DEMOCRATS STICK TOGETHER, DAMMIT!!!!! For Pete's Sake! If yesterday (when trump CAVED - because DEMOCRATS REMAINED SOLIDLY TOGETHER) isn't enough to convince EVERYONE that this is true - AND that this is the way to even more Democratic victories, I seriously don't know what would be.

STICK TOGETHER, DEMS! Look what we can accomplish when we do so! Seeing is (or at least SHOULD BE) believing.

+ another million.

Oh God, it hurts to revisit this. Hillary's right. AGAIN.

I wish Bernie would go AWAY. All he does is stir up divisiveness within our party.

And - um - did the results of yesterday NOT convince, once and for all, the tremendous value of Democrats sticking together and STAYING UNITED, DAMMIT!!!!!???

Bernie Sanders needs to GO AWAY.

And + another million or so.

Welcome to DU, JAD.

When I think of the amount of damage that trump has done to us internationally, I shudder. I HOPE we can recover once this is all over (and, hopefully, after he's in prison. But SHEESH...
