Last night, I dreamed that Trump died.

In my dream, I'd heard it on the news and I was running around the house trying to find my husband to share the good news... "did you hear? did you hear?! Trump is dead! Trump is dead!!" I couldn't find my husband anywhere in the house... the fact that he was missing distressed me so much that I woke up.

Then... I was sad to realize it was only a dream. (Sigh.)

Finally, in an ER compartment, there he lay dead.

The overwhelming sense of relief that his cruelty could no longer touch me.

Relief, not celebration.

Your comment is so true - relief, not celebration for the passing of someone who has caused harm.

Just sorry that was the case for you with a family member. Hugs.

I was angry. She should have paid for the harm she had done. Plenty of people were aware of her rotten behaviors, but no one ever did anything.

48. My mother died at 95.
Wed Feb 18, 2026, 05:36 AM

Her funeral was not well attended. My husband and I were there. My 91 year old uncle and his wife were there, along with the granddaughter who was their driver. My surviving brother did not attend. None of the grandchildren attended. A handful of people from her church attended. They tried to say good things. They should have saved their breath.

Today I received a letter from the lady we had appointed her guardian. (My mother had dementia and lived more than four hours away from us). Her estate has been settled and we can expect a check. It is ironic. I had expected nothing. There will be some money, but not enough to make me or anyone else rich. It is best for me to move on. It is unhealthy if I don't.

log onto Democratic Underground and find confetti falling from the top of the screen to the bottom, overlaying the headline: He's Dead. I shared this fantasy with my hubby. Now, every morning, after he prepares his first cup of coffee, he's comes out to my computer and asks me, "Is there confetti yet?"

I usually sleep between breakfast and lunch, or skip breakfast entirely.

I live in NYC. I dream I'm woken up mid-morning, say, 10-ish AM; by the cheers, and vehicular horn honking! Maybe (I'm in an ALP) even hearing my right near me- neighbors (who happen to be Black women) coming out of their apts to share the news!

It'd be glorious !!! 😄🎉🎉🎉

I have a feeling about something happening to him in March. But I hope he is not ended the way of Caesar. He should have a terminal illness for a while and have an impaired speaking ability. Karma for all the people with disabilities he mocked.

my end for Donald Trump--he experiences a stroke which leaves him speechless, confined to a wheelchair for 30 years before he is finally released by death.

in the last one, I picked up the agent menacing me and carried him downstairs and across a patio before heaving him into a swimming pool.

then i woke up and called my son because it was a nightmare and I never want to keep my dreams to myself.

Honestly, I feel like that game is the most apt metaphor for what we're going through right now at this point. The dark one has control. Hell, Trump has turned the White House - once a beacon of freedom - into his own nightmare palace. And he is molding literally everything to bend to his fascist will.

When he finally goes there will be a celebration like no other!
