Other Triggered By Trump

Do I really need to hear more about his vileness? No. Not right now. I'm up to my neck with his vileness. I applaud these women for coming forward. It's not easy (understatement). I just still need to mostly stay away from the news.

I just still need to mostly stay away from the news.

Me too. Better to have it summarized for you by someone who can stand it.

 

[hodge]

Yep, yep.

I watched the last minute of Lawrence O'Donnell and the first few seconds of Brian Williams before deciding, nope, not going to expose myself to this anymore.

I mean, how crazy is it that we actually have a presidential candidate who does this sh*t? There are sooo many reasons I'd never vote for him, but this latest stuff takes the cake. I resent that this individual prevents me from watching the news. I really do resent this.

God help people with kids who are watching. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. How the f can you possibly explain this to kids? I'm glad our granddaughter is just 1 1/2 years old. My niece is 15, and she has said she likes Trump. I hope she's changed her mind, but haven't gone there with her since she told me that. I'm afraid she's under my mother's influence.

It's not so easy as to say "just don't let him in".

This shit is EVERYWHERE!

People are saying "grab her--------" in conversation. Without warning. It's impossible to block that out unless I go live in a closet.

This is part of my f*cking trauma. And yes, I'm f*cking pissed.

AJ Delgado is a disgrace to all women. Blaming the victims for not coming forward sooner. SMFH. Stupid Trump talking head. She needs to stop bleaching her hair. It's killed a few too many brain cells.

I know, Eve. It sucks big time. And now he's got people chanting to put Hillary in jail -- like, wtf??? He's the one who should be in jail for repeated sexual assault.

Did you see how a radio show is paying people thousands of dollars if they are able to get on tv saying "Bill Clinton is a rapist"? Sorry, off topic, but more crap from trump supporters.

 

[EveHarrington]

I'm ashamed to be an American given that 1/3+ of us are ok with electing this POS.

 

[hodge]

Eww, I didn't see that, Eve. Stupid radio show.

If the partner literally refuses to change the station and limit the amount of election-tv that's on (which sounds a bit unhealthy!!), leave the room, put on some headphones, do a distracting activity. If it's in the newspaper, turn the page. If it's on the radio, put on a cd. And if your tthoughts are totally preoccupied with this man, distract, cbt it, etc. If you've decided who you're going to vote for, there is no reason for the election coverage to be 'invading' your life this much.

Exactly what I do. Its my dad that watches Fox News in the mornings and getting ready for work (my days off i kick him out of the livingroom...i bought this 50 inch HD flat screen for myself for xmas thank you) but i have learned how to completely tune him out. Whats on tv and my dad the commentator. I literally do not hear him at all. I get lost here or somewhere.

If i cant or it gets too much thats why i have two remotes in the livingroom, i turn the channel :p

OK. He was an annoyance and a bully and a tyrrant but now he is totally off the rails. I felt sick after the debate and it's getting worse with his focus on making this an outlet for his sickness. He is looking completely insane. He isn't a politician, he's a mad man. I'll miss the next debate due to another.commitment and while I've always looked forward.to this part of our political process, I think I'll step away from the news until November 8. So upsetting.

 

[hodge]

I've been staying away from the news since the debate, @watundah. I was really creeped out by his behavior that night, lurking behind Hillary, invading her personal space. and scowling while she was talking. It was totally creepy, and I had to walk away before too long.

He is off the rails. All the dark sh*t in his past is catching up with him and he just keeps running away from it and denying it all. He is one piece of work.
