Saw this, posted by Dan Rather on Facebook: "I yearn for a world, or even a weekend morning, where a friend or family member asking 'did you hear' doesn’t immediately produce a pit in the stomach and the mental image of Donald Trump rage tweeting chaos and incoherence."
I shared that post with an addition of my own: "This. So very much this."
Then I left a couple of comments under my own post of this: "I googled, literally, 'what dumbfuckery has Trump done now' and this was the top result: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/23/times-trump-tweeted-hereby-1474073 Don't know if that is what Mr. Rather is referring to, of course. SCROTUS Trump engages in so much dumbfuckery that it's difficult to keep track, after all. And I'm sure in a day or so that will have been replaced by some other bit of Trumpish dumbfuckery."
And this: "For future reference: https://www.google.com/search?q=what%20dumbfuckery%20has%20trump%20done%20now "
Yeah... I am so beyond sick and tired of Trump... it's crazy and depressing.
In fact, I wrote a slightly more than two page long entry into my pencil-and-paper journal last night (partially in response to this, though I didn't specifically mention that in my journal) which I will transcribe here, in its entirety (though I'll be considerate and add in paragraph breaks that don't actually exist in the original writing):

I hate Donald Trump. I haven't taken the time to write about that much in this journal lately, but it bears repeating: I fucking hate the everloving shit out of goddamned Donald Jizzdump Trump. I am going to devote the entirety of this entry, however long it ends up being, to that topic. I loathe everything about Trump. There is not a single thing about Trump that I do not despise. The sooner his life ends in a prison cell, the better off this world will be, and the stinkier Hell will become.
I don't even believe in the existence of Hell or eternal damnation or whatever other such bullshit, but if ever those things needed to exist, it is because of Donald Trump. The worst justice in this universe is the fact that Trump will get away with mere oblivion for the rest of eternity after he dies, the same as I believe happens to all living things on death. That's why I don't want Trump to die too soon. He may be a senile, dementia-addled fuckwit, but surely he's still hale enough to exist for a decade or more in the dankest, darkest hole in the ground ever to aspire to be a prison cell. If someone were to ever successfully assassinate Trump, that person would instantly become my second most hated person, after Trump himself. I want Trump to suffer. I want him to feel physical, mental, existential agony, a million-fold, for each and every terrible, shitty thing he has ever said or done. I want the searing flames of justice to metaphorically engulf him for a thousand centuries for each crime he has ever committed.
It doesn't even matter to me, at least for the moment, that Trump is merely a figurehead, a symbol, a symptom of the greater disease that is infecting this country, perhaps terminally so. All the racism, the misogyny, the homophobia, the xenophobia, the aporophobia, none of that shit started with Donald Trump, but it is absolutely because of Trump that it has all gotten worse since he won the Presidency. He is the very embodiment of all of the worst things about the United States of America. He is the living incarnation of racism, sexism/misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, etc. Trump symbolizes anti-intellectualism, which is highly appropriate since Donald Trump is by far the stupidest POTUS there has ever been and, hopefully, ever will be. Trump is a moron. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is an ignoramus. Trump is an idiot. There aren't enough words in the English language or any other language to adequately describe how horrible a monster this dipshit Trump is.
And the worst thing about Trump isn't even Trump himself. The worst thing about Trump are all the stupid, ignorant, gullible, belligerently hateful, militantly willful consumers of blatant, obvious disinformation who still, somehow, someway, believe, wrongly, laughably, frustratingly, enragingly, disgustingly, sickeningly, that it is still a good thing to support this brazen conman, who is conning them even as they continue to slobber all over his microscopic knob. And then there are the ones who have the power to put a stop to Trump but who actively refuse to do so, and, indeed, continue to actively protect him and prop him up. I hate all of those people almost as much as I hate the abomination that is Trump himself. Fuck Trump forever.
Yeah... that's not very "Mister Rogers"-ly of me, but I don't really give a shit. I'm not Mister Rogers, after all. I'm just some random guy on the Internet. *sigh*
At any rate, after I wrote that, I felt much better, from a catharsis standpoint. At least until later today, when I checked Facebook and saw Mr. Rather's post to which I linked up there, and the follow-up Google search just got me pissed off at Trump all over again. But now, after transcribing that journal entry to here, I feel the catharsis again, at least for now. I'm sure it'll all drain away and the rage and hatred will seep back in again as soon as I see whatever the next dumbfuck thing Trump has done.
That's why, lately, I've been trying to straight up avoid anything related to Trump. I've been repeatedly 30-day snoozing on Facebook pages like George Takei and Snopes (hmm, maybe I should add Dan Rather to that list) and even a couple of the people on my actual f-list, due to the daily doses of Trump I was getting from them and elsewhere. I hate the fact that Trump has forced me to feel the need to do this, which just makes me hate Trump himself all the more. (And I wouldn't be surprised or dismayed if other people have done the very same to me for the very same reasons. I could absolutely understand that. It's just not healthy to be bombarded with Trumpish dumbfuckery on a daily basis.) It's why I abandoned Twitter entirely, after all. (Well, almost.) It's all very difficult to avoid, though, as I sometimes see it in the most unexpected places.
To reiterate once more: to absolute hell with Donald Trump, forever.
