Last Friday night, John H. Durham, the former US Attorney in Connecticut who was appointed a Special Counsel in the waning days of William P. Barr’s sojourn in Washington, with the assignement to investigate the investigators who had been dealing with the inquiry into Russia’s 2016 election interference, filed a pretrial motion, in which he slid in a couple extra sentences that saw Conservatism Inc. Explode with charges about the Clinton campaign spying on the campaign of former President Trump.
One place to start would be reining in the headline writers or at least requiring accuracy in what they write. There are often well researched and written articles introduced by headers that have little or nothing to do with the contents. Of course, by the time one discovers that the paper has been bought or the link clicked and the goal thereby achieved.
The manipulation, and I reference the malicious kind as reported by TC in this current essay, at our highest levels of government literally makes me squirm. The culture of lying and violence is causing insidious trauma throughout every nook and cranny of our country. The misinformation is in an endemic loop that defies logic. The mass amount of attention given to a preening loser is beyond my comprehension. How is anyone to blame for being rendered “tired and I just cannot hear another word about it”? That is the more frequent response in direct correlation to the constantly revealed scandal(s) inflating the pressure upon democracy to prevail.
If I hear one more person talk about Mr. Trump being in an orange jumpsuit, I might snap. Ignoring him and letting judicial and banking and “whoever else is ready to expose his sociopathic criminal nature” concerns take their steps resulting in preventing him from ever running for office again will suffice for me. I steel myself daily but also consciously think and project daily that I will wake up to a day without hearing his name or reading his name. That’s really all it will take to eliminate him. And then let his base grovel for another demagogue.
But that’s apparently wishful thinking. Usually the easiest solutions are.
You wrote exactly what I feel: "I steel myself daily but also consciously think and project daily that I will wake up to a day without hearing his name or reading his name."
I decided never to post or share any article, no matter how well written or accurate, if it contained a photograph of tfg. I have such a visceral reaction to even SEEING his disgusting face and form, I get nauseous.

p.s. May Durham find his just rewards in any form resembling tar and feathers.
