I've been kicking around the idea of starting up a Trump-era support group.

Not a group devoted to activism. Activism is great, but this would be something else, It would be more about dealing with loss. There has been a lot of loss in the Trump years. Loss of pride in our country. Loss of optimism about the future. Loss of friends and family that inexplicably became Trumpites.

In my mind's eye, this would be a group of people actually meeting in real life. I suppose there's a danger of being set upon by Trumpite trolls, but I'm guessing that wouldn't happen.

Anyone out there ever encounter such a thing?

The religious right has worked hard at turning this whole country into Jonestown.

Now if only there was a way the rest of us could be excused from the mass martyrdom.

When your Imaginary Friend tells you to kill people...

...don’t do it. Unfriend Him and get help.

Support our troops!

And show that support by gleefully tossing them into yet another meatgrinder.

Y'know, I wonder how long it's been since Trump actually lied about something.

Can someone whose reality is as gelatinous and insubstantial as his ever even make up a statement intended to deceive?

Trumpism, explained.

While lurking on Facebook, I saw this little gem:

Did you know that there's a thing that occurs only ever 1,000 years? If you take the year of your birth and add your age, you get this year, 2019! Mathematicians can't explain it. Scientists can't explain it. Just enjoy this unique experience along with everyone else in the world.

These are your Trump supporters, ladies and gentlemen. What science can't explain is why they are still alive when they are clearly too dumb to remember to breathe.

Historians will mark Trump's acquittal in the Senate in 2020 as the beginning of the Cold Civil War.

At least I hope it stays cold. He will come out of the process unrestrained by laws and itching for revenge.

At what point should the Democrats openly solicit the aid of foreign governments?

Or are we going to, yet again, show up to a knife fight carrying a checkerboard?

A message from the Democrats to the Republicans: Get on the side of the angels while you still can.

Every Democratic presidential hopeful should have this message: I intend to appoint a badass AG who will show no mercy to those who wallowed in the corruption of the Trump years. If you support Trump now, you will be the wheat beneath our scythes come 2021.

A question to anyone who is active-duty military...

...or close to someone who is: what’s your feeling about how much support Trump has in the armed forces?

All this talk about how Trump is offending service members is eerily reminiscent of how everyone was saying Evangelicals were repulsed by Trump but then ended up voting for him in droves
