It will help you.

Of course, this is assuming that there will be a return match:





Let’s just hope he won’t be able to fulfill this little campaign promise:

So glad you stayed with us. X-ing all my fingers for you, now that you have got professional help. You are a good guy.

Just as an FYI - This is a rule breaker. I understand the reason but it would have been better to take out identifying details.  As it stands the thread makes little to no sense and can be upsetting.  Just get better and get back to life.

I understand.

I've attempted to restore the general intent of the original post.

I think, under the circumstances, we can ignore that one.

It's more important that the Sayer of Nays is still with us.

Understood, just a heads up for the future since he is staying with us for a long time.

I always understood that particular bullet point to mean removing all content from other members' posts, not your own.

It's not the end of democracy. For starters, Trump is way too old to establish a dictatorship. It took Putin quite a few years, and also the US is too multicultural to become a dictatorship. Trump is also too lazy - he'll just play golf every day.

I bet that phrase has been spoken a lot by others right before it happened.

It seems impossible that anything green could ever grow here again. Giving up would be the easiest option—why bother hoping for life to return to such a wasteland? But then you notice a small, stubborn sapling, somehow untouched by the flames, still reaching for the sun. You could walk away, sure, thinking it’s pointless to protect just one tree in such a bleak place. But if you nurture it, that sapling might survive, grow, and slowly bring life back to the forest, one leaf at a time.

Sometimes, life feels like that burned forest—a place of loss that seems to have nothing left to offer. But holding on, even when things seem hopeless, can be the first step toward change. Sticking around might feel hard, but it’s the only way to see life slowly return from the ashes.

The only problem is I can't see anything returning from this, Perhaps, maybe, far beyond my lifetime
