Since it is impossible to fulfil all our desires or to stop unwanted things happening to us, we need to find a different way of relating to frustrated desires and unwanted occurrences. We need to learn patient acceptance.
Patience is a mind that is able to accept, fully and happily, whatever occurs. It is much more than just gritting our teeth and putting up with things. Being patient means to welcome wholeheartedly whatever arises, having given up the idea that things should be other than what they are. It is always possible to be patient; there is no situation so bad that it cannot be accepted patiently, with an open, accommodating, and peaceful heart.
When patience is present in our mind it is impossible for unhappy thoughts to gain a foothold. There are many examples of people who have managed to practise patience even in the most extreme circumstances, such as under torture or in the final ravages of cancer. Although their body was ruined beyond repair, deep down their mind remained at peace. By learning to accept the small difficulties and hardships that arise every day in the course of our lives, gradually our capacity for patient acceptance will increase and we shall come to know for ourself the freedom and joy that true patience brings.

Punching a pillow is good. If you prefer smashing things, buy cheap china from yard sales or thrift stores. Take a box that's about 2 feet on all sides (or close), open both ends, and tape it down to your driveway or back porch or other hard surface that it's OK to scuff up. Then smash the dishes inside the box. Clean up is easy once you're done and the cost is low.

Boxing gloves and a punchbag. Cut out a picture of your most hated politician and attach it to the punchbag.
Or a long walk or run on a treadmill.

learn to conquer it and you'll never be angry again.
Think this: why would you let anyone get you angry in the first place? ... means they are actually controlling your emotions. Which they shouldnt ... go figure
