trump chose to ride this tiger

of right wing paranoia and conspiracy theory. (i can't call it populism, because i am a populist. note the huey long quote in my sig line.)

is there any indication that trump has the courage to dismount? or that his cult will just let him walk away?

He thinks he’s in full control of the tiger — in fact, he probably thinks the tiger is his pet who will always do what he commands. It won’t end well…but I’m not sure if that’s for him or for us.

i can see trump being brought to povertu when the pyramid he has been building finally craashes. there are only so many places you can go to refinance billions.

or i can see him shot in the bed of an angry husband. (it would not be one of his fans, who would be honored if trump screwed their wives and daughters.)

but, most likely, he'll just mistake the send button on his tweeter for the launcher ...........

and good morning.

on edit : sigfried and roy thought their tiger was a pet as well. if i made my siamese jump through too many flaming hoops i might be asking the wife to find me a band aid.

and the central park 5 to deny that. for his fans, the racism is a feature.
