I think sometimes the best thing you can do to put trauma behind you is to talk about it openly, among friends. Maybe this would be a good time to list all of awful things that have happened during the last four years because of Trump.

To make it challenging, no googling. Let's do it by memory. Extra points if it is something that we've all forgotten about because there have been so many other awful things since.

I'll go first:

1. Producing a big stack of empty folders to convince everyone his sons would run the family business and he would keep his hand out of it.

2. Appointing Omorosa to, well, anything.

3. Coming thiiiiis close to starting a war with Iran when they shot down our drone.

4. Calling leader of North Korea "Little Rocket Man" when we learned he had the capability to send a rocket to the U.S.

5. World leaders of Canada, France, and Britain in a circle at a cocktail party laughing at Trump.

6. Responding to the California Campfire wildfire that killed 80 people by saying the people there didn't rake the forest enough.

7. Demanding that Comey be loyal to him.

8. Starting an investigation into the three million fraudulent votes that cost him the popular vote.

Honoring Rush Limberger with a medal.

1. Pardoning Joe Arpaio

2. Getting into a hissy fit argument with Australian PM Turnbull over Obama's refugee settlement treaty in his first month in office, hanging up the phone on him when he (Turnbull) refused to say Obama's treaty was poorly done. Foreshadowed the next 4 years.

3. Trump hawking his steaks (does it count if it was before he was POTUS?)

4. Refusing to address Khashoggi's murder with the Saudis (or anyone, for that matter)

5. Trump discovers the existence of Frederick Douglass, says Douglass has done "an amazing job"

1. Insulting the Khans, a Gold Star family.

2. Betsy DeVos. I always thought she was the trial balloon. She was utterly unqualified and incompetent, a horrible human being, and had an extreme one-issue agenda. She was confirmed easily. I think I-1 saw that as the green light to nominate a long string of unqualified loyalists, people who were either executives in or lobbyists for the industries they were going to regulate, and people with similar agendas to destroy the country. Like that twit, Pruitt, at interior (the one who told his secretary to try to buy a used mattress from I-1's hotel), Rick Perry ("huh? I in charge of everything nuclear now???"), Flynn, and dozens more.

3. Having Ivanka literally keeping his seat warm at ... what was that the G7 summit?

4. They held the airports during the Civil War. Ruh???

5. Kids in cages. Families separated. Some 500 kids still separated, and in many cases no way to reconnect them with their parents.

6. Pardoning Roger Stone.

7. Bill Barr. 'Nuff said? The man is corruption personified.

8. Forcing the Secret Service to spend thousands -- maybe millions -- at I-1's properties. And the same while the Secret Service were protecting his spawn.

9. The helicopters over DC Chinatown.

10. Tear-gassing peaceful protesters in Lafayette Square.

11. "Fine people on both sides." Literally calling neo-nazis "fine people".

12. Fast food for Clemson. "Hamberders".

13. Gorsuch.

14. Kavanaugh.

15. Coney-whazzername.

16. Selling off National Parks.

17. Off-shore drilling in California, but not Florida within view of Maralago.

18. Tossing paper towels in Puerto Rico. Deliberately mis-pronouncing it "Porto Rico".

19. So much golf.

20. "NATO doesn't pay us their membership fees." Ruh???

21. Hiring a father-and-son outfit from Whitefish Montana to rebuild the power grid in Puerto Rico.

22. Outbidding states for ventilators and PPE, commandeering ventilators and PPE, and sending them to states that voted for him.

23. Calling any woman who stands up to him "nasty".

24. Continually disparaging the legitimate, honest media.

25. Stephen Miller. 'Nuff said?

26. Sarah Huckleberry Sanders.

27. Offering up his flea-ridden club in Miami for the next G-7 summit.

28. "Pocahontas".

29. Giving Jared a security clearance that he otherwise would never have been granted.

30. Whatever he did or threatened to do to the head of the GSA to get him to declare that the contract for the Old Post Office site that I-1 had already rewritten and violated the terms of, that clearly violated the Emoluments Clause, all that, was just hunky-dory. It was another early victory to convince I-1 that he could get away with anything.

I'm sure I'll think of more, but I'm already getting queasy thinking about it.

1. Pissing on our foreign allies.

2. Cozying up to dictators.

3. Moving funds from congressionally approved budgets to build the damn wall.

4. Implementing those stupid tariffs on Chinese products. They hurt farmers, and then he tried to buy back their support with subsidies. And prices on all kinds of things went up with corporations and/or consumers eating the increased costs. All the time proclaiming about the billions pouring into the US Treasury.

As a sidebar, the Chinese economy is on the upswing despite COVID and those tariffs, nonsense, and noise. Funny how that worked out.

31. Mrs pj sez "Muslim ban".

Maybe that just goes under "Stephen Miller".

AMF

Changing path of hurricane with a Sharpie.

Space Force.

Standing in the doorway of Air Force One and saying "No" when asked whether he knew about hush money to Stormy Daniels, even though the check bears his signature.

32. Telling the newly-elected leader of Ukraine that they can have our support (and, if I recall, some military hardware), but we needs a little favor... dig up some dirt on my presumed-opponent's son's dealings in your country.

May I-1 always be remembered as the third president in U.S. history to be impeached.

33. Refusing to visit the graves of the Americans who died in WWII on the 75th Anniversary of D-Day because he didn't want to muss up his hair. Then lying about it.

34 - 36. Destroying the careers of the Alex Vindman, Yevgeny Vindman, and Maria Yovanovich. (Perhaps Biden will reinstate Yovanovich as ambassador to Ukraine.)

37. Anything and everything to do with q anon.

38. Especially that guy who showed up to the pizza place in Dupont Circle and fired a few rounds into the ceiling when he was looking for the sex-dungeon full of children in a building that doesn't even have a basement.

Getting on the phone with the president of Mexico and asking him to pay for the wall.
