Sleepless in Seattle, and other places: Trump-induced insomnia stalks blue-state America
Yahoo! News ^ | March 18, 2017 | Lisa Belkin, Chief National Correspondent

Susan Rogers, a poet and attorney in California, is “hurtling through space with no direction” on a plane that, she discovers with horror, has no pilot.

Alicia Bowman, a journalist from East Penn, Pa., is racing frantically through a train that is heading the wrong way, flinging off her belongings so she can run faster, calling frantically for her son, who is transgender.

Rachelle Pachtman, who does canine rescue on New York’s Upper West Side, is searching fruitlessly through her refrigerator for something to serve Michelle and Barack Obama, who have just happened to drop by for lunch.

And Allison Graham, a Los Angeles publicist, is in a hotel suite near her old Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood in Manhattan, being interviewed by Donald Trump for a job as a supervisor on one of his big construction projects.

“But I don’t know anything about real estate; I have no qualifications or experience,” she tells him.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be great,” he says.

Then they all wake up.

Blue America is having trouble with sleep — tossing and turning as they lie awake, then falling into nightmares. And those who are suffering tend to blame the 45th president of the United States....

A friend described how Holland has warehouses full of nonsense art that the government buys from “artists” just to maintain the illusion of employment; I suspect we’ve been doing the same for a long time - and those grifters should be losing sleep.

Snowflake Syndrome is apparently self-correcting.

You’re quite right. Our dreaming brains use THE DAMNEDEST imagery to convey our normal waking thoughts. This imagery in the story is common as dirt.

That will morph into other problems. A Colonoscopy is recommended. If it keeps up a Trumposcopy will be required.

So very true.

And I literally cried myself to sleep in fear for my grandchildren on election night of 2012.

You want to talk about sleepless, how about 8 years of a traitorous muzzy POTUS.

Nightmares and insomnia of the low IQ liberals is now considered news.

If so, more good news for our side. Trump wins again.

I’m in the endless loop of worrying about DJT’s security all day then dreaming of ways to fix it every night. The left has decided on that jungle ant approach: the whole colony marches at once, stinging and biting everything standling between them and our President.

Did Yahoo run out of hit pieces and now they’re down to just make shit up?

Not just Yahoo.

The Ny and La Slimes, Compost, similar left wing fishwraps, and of course ABCNNBCBS run imaginary stories about how Trump is going down in flames or how liberals don’t want sex, can’t sleep, or need psych care just to get through their sad days.

Barbara S blames her weight gain on Trump!

When we hear their whinning, we smile and say to ourselves, “Best election ever!”.

Dreams that are that rational are suspect in my book.

Last night I dreamed that I was living in an apartment building that a friend of mine from high school also lived in. I went to use the common laundry, which had two front-loader machines. Angie’s stuff was in the “dryer,” so I loaded my things into the “washer.” I couldn’t find the soap input, so I just tossed it in with the clothes and turned the machine on. That’s when I realized that I had just put clothes and liquid detergent into the dryer and not the washer. Just then, Donald Trump appeared at the door dressed as Tony the Tiger and said, “It’s gonna be GREAT. Believe me.”
