Well, the morning has started in an interesting way.

[LuckyCharms]

My quiet, demure, modest, respectful, unassuming wife woke up at about 530 AM. I crawled out of bed at 611AM.

I got out of bed, stretched my back for about 5 minutes, tried to shake the cobwebs out, and walked into the living room to say good morning to her.

She had Morning Joe on the TV.

When I walked into the living room, she was so mad that I thought she was going to start speaking in tongues.

I started to say good Morning, but all I got out was Good mo...

She looked at me, red in the face, and started...

WHY DOES THAT MOTHERFUCKING BASTARD GET TO GOLF WHILE BEING PROTECTED ON OUR FUCKING DIME ON AN UNSECURED GOLF COURSE THAT STUPID SON OF A BITCH MOTHERFUCKING DOUCHEBAG CAN STICK HIS FUCKING 9 IRON UP HIS FAT FUCKING ORANGE ASS IF HE CAN GET IT PAST HIS HUGE FUCKING DIAPER THAT MOTHERFUCKER WHY IS HE STILL ALIVE I HOPE HE FUCKING CROAKS I'M SO SICK OF THAT MOTHERFUCKER HE SUCKS THE LIFE OUT OF EVERYTHING FUCKING SON OF A BITCH HIS FATHER SHOULD HAVE PULLED OUT GODDAMN IT WHAT AN UGLY FUCKER THAT GUY IS HOW THE FUCK DID HE EVER GET ELECTED...

She was talking so fast that she sounded like a profane auctioneer.

I just sighed and escaped upstairs.

She's right, though.

[samnsara]

1. i get up at 330 am to watch them and by 345 i was in the same mood

..so added something to my coffee and turned to the weather channel.


remember when fart face was prez and the Sec Service was stretched to its limits trying to protect all his kids when they jet setted?

hes doing it again..using up ALL our resources for himself. That ass wipe can hire all kinds of private security but is mooching off America...again!

[LuckyCharms]

3. Yep. Your final sentence...

She was saying that as well.

[ariadne0614]

10. Isn't he charging us exorbitant rates for our Secret Service agents to stay at M-A-L? n/t

[OldBaldy1701E]

13. And, constantly demanding that they stay where he wants them to.

They cannot try for more economical lodgings. He is grifting from everyone around him and the Secret Service is just another mark to him.

[ariadne0614]

14. I thought so.

[former9thward]

76. I would believe very little of what you read on the internet.

The SS agents do not stay where Trump tells them. They work for Biden not Trump. They stay where their bosses in DC tell them to stay.

[calimary]

56. Probably so he can pay them as little as possible and he keeps the rest.

Cuz if we know our donald, we can count on him to try to cheat, or better yet, just weasel out of paying for it.

And then if he balks and gets sued for nonpayment, all he has to do is waste their time and money, as he outlasts them. They’ll run low on funds to chase after him, and will probably wind up settling for less.

Cuz, remember, he makes great deals. Especially for himself.

[former9thward]

75. Trump does not pay the SS anything.

Where is that coming from?

[Attilatheblond]

69. Secret Service had to rearrange their budget not long into his tenure due to what it was costing

That Service is also charged with protecting US currency. They had to pull $ from that to cover all his & his adult 'kids' security. LOTS of that money went into Trump's pocket because he golfed all the time at his clubs and charged his detail for golf carts, food, overpriced rooms and such.

Now, it's just my theory, but I assume if anybody wanted to flood the US with bogus currency, that was a good time to do that. Gee... who would benefit from lax investigations into counterfeiting? Wouldn't it save Putin a lot when paying bribes to US pols of the GOP persuasion if he just paid them with funny money? Wouldn't fake currency make money laundering much more profitable? Could a flood of bogus bucks destabilize the dollar on foreign markets, or at least make it questionable as the most preferred currency?

Why, it'd be a two-fer. Get to bribe Trump (and who knows how many GOP congress critters) AND mess with our dollar on the international market! All to keep whiny baby feeling secure on the links?

[malaise]

2. She nailed it

Rec

[fierywoman]

71. My thoughts exactly, but even better!

[Lochloosa]

4. Welcome to my world. I had almost the same morning.

Morning Joe was on when I walked down the hallway. I just gave a little morning wave and moved on.

[3Hotdogs]

5. How much longer do we pay for this bullshit? Given his appearance, daily diet, (non)exercise routine and mental decline,

I give him no more than two years.

Add to that, the stress of the election. Did you see the screen shot of his face after the debate? And the stress, after he loses the election.....

If his kids plant him on the third hole "T" next to Mom, we won't be able to piss on his grave. But if they dig a hole in some potters' field, there will be a line out the street and down the block for weeks.

If it's the third hole, I live near Bedminster. S.S. won't be monitoring his grave so I'll be able to sneak in a night for a quick look - sorry, leak or two.

[robbob]

21. If they plant him on the third hole T it will be the final grift...

People will have to pay, bigly, to piss on his grave.

[krkaufman]

24. Good plan.

Get that on Junior’s social media timeline and it might happen.

[3Hotdogs]

31. How much would you pay?💰

[Joinfortmill]

34. In my old age, this girl is trying to be kinder, but I would definitely pee on his grave.

[redstatebluegirl]

52. Only the good die young, that jerk will live to be a hundred.

[MiHale]

6. That's why I awaken at 4:30...retreat to the living room...

and absolutely do not let the world in…half hour meditation followed by reading bout with GoComics accompanied by breakfast…then the world can come in at approximately 6.

[Biophilic]

7. Yes, well she's right of course. Nt

[live love laugh]

8. I like her. She speaks my language.

[TheDemsshouldhireme]

9. Has the media every looked into

How much Trump makes when playing golf, especially when he was president. Im sure there is a huge detail that has to book rooms and order meals at his golf courses-----follow the grift. Its no secret camp david has golf holes and as they mentioned on morning joe, there are secure facilities elsewhere. What did it cost to fly to Florida or Bedminister, and again plus the hotels and meals But trump wouldnt make money that way. Follow the grift.

[niyad]

41. I recall a figure in the millions while he was soiling the People's House.

[Vinca]

11. ROFL - I might be related to your wife. I had a similar reaction.

[Aussie105]

12. LuckyCharm's wife . . .

has an admirable eloquence when annoyed!

I like her!

Don't hold back, let it rip!

[Ilsa]

15. Has she copyrighted this yet? Asking for a friend. nt

[onetexan]

16. LOL my hubby can empathize. He hears more than enough of rants from me as well

[BlueKota]

17. I have a very similar reaction and use the same language

when tsf and his cult do or say something that I consider particularly heinous. My GSD jumps up and comes running from wherever he is and grabs my shirt and starts tugging. If am am sitting down he jumps in my lap and starts licking my face. He's not a trained therapy dog, but my psychiatrist thinks he may be responding to a scent given off when my BP is rising rapidly.

[Aussie105]

23. Oh really?

When my wife goes off our dog just looks disgusted and leaves the room for a quieter spot.

[ChazInAz]

33. That's my cats' SOP.

Uncaring little brutes.

[BlueKota]

38. Cats are experts at giving the judgemental side eye

[BlueKota]

36. 😁

Probably the wiser course of action. Dakota might just be upset I am disturbing his nap time. 😴

[pagarr1957]

18. Will all of that fit onto a t-shirt?

If so, I think I'd buy one!

[maxrandb]

19. She must be a retired Navy Boatswain's Mate

50 years after the orange anus dies, America will be celebrating that date like it's the 4TH of FUCKING July!

[Trueblue Texan]

20. LOL!: "...she was so mad that I thought she was going to start speaking in tongues."

This is WONDERFUL writing! ALL of it! More please!

[BlueSky3]

22. "My quiet, demure

modest, respectful, unassuming wife” — just what every man expects a woman to be, right?/s

[LuckyCharms]

25. No, I expect her to be however she chooses to be.

[Lemon Lyman]

26. :-)

Good for her. She was like this, w/out the physical thing happening (at the 1:50 mark):

[True Dough]

27. Best that her rant was directed at Orange Mussolini

rather than at you. LUCKY! Stay on her good side!

[10 Turtle Day]

28. Yep, she is right about every word of that rant.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

[Bettie]

29. That's how I feel every time I hear

some news story about his ugly orange ass.

I try to keep it inside, but the screaming is just under the surface. Barely.

[ms liberty]

30. She's a keeper!

[Joinfortmill]

32. I'm with her!

[mn9driver]

35. People are fed up with him.

My normally politically circumspect wife blew up her Facebook page yesterday by complaining about the poor marksmanship of crazy attempted assassins. She had quite a few Trump supporters on her friend list.

Not anymore…

[Autumn]

37. I really like your wife. She has a way with words, I admire that.

[TommieMommy]

39. OMG she's so right 👍

[DFW]

40. Man, am I glad I don't get US TV here

I already have heart issues with the relatively low blood pressure I have as it is.

[jaxexpat]

42. I think you can scratch the "quiet" part.

[dalton99a]

43. Kick

[dupagelib]

44. Wrong club up his ass.

It would be a full 6 iron.

[Clouds Passing]

45. It's going to be a beautiful day when there's no mention of Dump!

[Be The Light]

46. But how does she really feel?

Whats the word on the street?

[usonian]

47. My dear friends. This is why I have no TV.

I scan DU (heavily filtered) and Hacker News (heavily moderated) for a ton of news and no anger. I am too old to harbor any anger.

AND, I get to reply without expecting a hate barrage in return.

There's a Buddhist saying that hate is like swallowing poison expecting the other person to die. But also be objective and realistic.

Nobody manipulates my emotions. I choose.

Choose wisely.

[tsSleepyTimeDwnSout]

48. sorry for chuckling

but when "LuckyCharms" said the morning started out in an interestin way i immediately thought "well yeah! with yellow moons, green clovers, pink hearts ... marsmellowy goodness".

arrrgh. another victim of madison ave.

[camartinwv]

49. My thoughts exactly

[CTyankee]

50. My husband says: "You get up every weekday and watch Morning Joe and then you're pissed off for the rest of the day!"

Well, I read the daily NYT, too. And THEN, I'm REALLY pissed off for the rest of the day!

Hubby just sits and absorbs the news at noon. He likes local stuff. AND he is a strong Dem!

[Ocelot II]

51. I think I would like your wife.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

53. Your wife is correct

[pansypoo53219]

54. very good question. why is he even golfing.

i pray he croaks toot sweet.

[PCIntern]

55. She must have been talking to my wife...

[Martin68]

57. It sound like the exposure to news needs to be decreased for the sake of the mental health of the

viewer. I recently spent two seeks without my phone on a canoe trip in Ontario, and I didn't miss anything the whole time.

[Hekate]

58. Tell her she owes me some screen-cleaner

[barbtries]

59. welcome to the world

of my 3 sons.

I don't scream it though, except when I'm alone with my computer.

TCFSF has worsened a sickness in us all. For his worshipers, it's sociopathy. For those of us residing in reality, it's PTSD. Who on DU has not been stressed out for the past NINE years? I know I have.

Hug your wife and tell her she's right.

[intrepidity]

60. OMG I had no idea

that you were married to CaliforniaPeggy!










(j/k Peggy, *obviously* lol)

[Otterdaemmerung]

61. With all due respect...

I find solace in the fact that Trump was not elected. He was selected -- by the Electoral College.

He's never won a single popular vote except that of a grand jury.

Yes, it seems sometimes that a significant portion of the population has gone the way of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but I have hope that their undue power is waning, so at the very least in years hence the rest of us can look at them the way a family looks at a family member who's permanently out of their gourd... which they are, of course.

[quakerboy]

62. Im more curious how the guy knew to be there

News was saying that per law enforcement, his cell phone data had him hanging out 12 hours at the location of an unplanned/unannounced golf stop.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

63. Did you ask her if the coffee was ready?

[4catsmom]

64. I'm with her

all the way

[SupportSanity]

65. Jail for the orange turd. And while in jail, daily doses of bleach and ivermectin for ..... well, for just in case.

And the only mail he receives is from democrats.

[MustLoveBeagles]

66. She really is

[Faux pas]

67. Kickin'

I'm With Her

[Blue Owl]

68. K&R

[brush]

70. Woohoo! Brava, to your wife. She said it all.

[Prairie_Seagull]

72. This is the power being harnessed.

My wife like lucky and others in this thread has been angry lately about the new nature of things and who is at fault. In the past comparatively little while I have never seen her this pissed about politics.

I hope it discounts this huge angry voting block.

[smb]

73. "Strongly Worded Statement To Follow" nt

[kerry-is-my-prez]

74. My BF, who used to be Republican (before converting) gets even more pissed than I do.

Probably because he was duped for so long….

[C Moon]

77. :D "...she was so mad that I thought she was going to start speaking in tongues."

[relayerbob]

78. And that, in a nutshell

Is why I don’t watch that crap, especially in the morning. It’s seriously detrimental to one’s health

[mucholderthandirt]

79. She's not wrong. At all.

My take is, four years after leaving office, no more SS detail. If you want to keep it, you pay for it. You listen to what they say, they're the experts.

And no detail for grown children. Ever. Minors, yes. Grown idiots? Nope.

It's time we start cutting off the money spigot for politicians. They can come into government basically broke, and leave millionaires. How does that happen on their salary? I'll tell you how: kickbacks, handouts and outright grifting. Book deals and speaking engagements should not be allowed. No fees for doing anything while they're in any office.

In fact, I'd like to see all of them banned from doing books, speaking engagements, joining company boards, university boards, or anything like that, for ten years. Yes. Ten. Take the incentive out of being in office. Do it for the good of America, and or don't do it at all. Go private sector and move on.
