THIS is Your Country on Trump

[NanceGreggs]

Children in cages
Children gunned down in schools
Asylum seekers tear-gassed
Nazis marching in the streets

Mass shootings – up
Hate crimes – up
Voter suppression – up

Environmental protections overturned
Climate change science ignored

Allies distanced – and insulted
Enemies embraced – and obeyed

Lowered status in the global community
Lowered expectations for a country that was once a world leader

Incompetent Cabinet members/appointees/advisors
Indicted Cabinet members/appointees/advisors

Tax-cuts only for the already wealthy
Healthcare only for the already healthy

Exploded deficit
Exploding White House
Exploding Trump-humper heads

People losing their healthcare coverage
People losing their farms
Workers losing their jobs
WH staffers losing their minds

Stock market chaos
White House insanity

Mindless tweets
Mindless policies
Mindess Idiot in the Oval Office

Law and order optional
Lawyering-up required

The Wall that Mexico will never pay for
The Wall that no one wants or needs
The Walls that are closing-in on the “pResident”

A US “pResident” laughed at by the UN
A US “pResident” laughed at the world over

Back-channel connections
Back-stabbing co-conspirators

Pipe bombers
Sex, lies and audio tapes
Fake news
Fake views
Fake Christians
Fake patriots

Puerto Rico ignored
Shithole countries identified

Cries of No collusion!
The rule of law just an illusion

A pussy-grabber as pOTUS
A nude model as FLOTUS
A “shoe designer” advising on international affairs
A “real estate guy” advising on peace in the ME

Everyone else is lying!
Everyone else is spying!
A pOTUS who’s always crying

Witless tweets
Covfeve treats
Protestors on the streets in every land
Journalists banned
POTUS’s priority is still being tanned

The swamp revitalized
Hatred re-energized
Bigots re-emerge
Racists reactivated

Presidential obligations called-off due to rain
Presidential precedent dismissed due to laziness
Presidential decorum ignored due to crassness
Presidential behaviour laughable, rather than laudable

Forest floors that need sweeping
Stealth bombers that are literally “invisible”
Smocking guns
Unfavourable polls that are “rigged”
Unfavourable facts that are “fake”
Unfavourable satire that’s somehow “illegal”

THIS is your country on Trump. THIS is what we’ve become under his “leadership”. THIS is what the Republicans would have you believe is normal. THIS is what the criminals in the GOP want you to ignore – along with their having supported and enabled it for two years.

Come January, the gloves are off. The days of coddling the Orange Idiot are at an end. The days of accepting lies and deceit as fact are over. The days of Republicans hiding behind the Emperor’s non-existent clothes are done.

There’s a new bunch of sheriffs in town. And you can be damned sure they’re ready to do their duty on behalf of the American people – rain or shine, before noon-ish, regardless of golfing schedules and TV watching, and without FOX-News being on-board.

It’s about to get really ugly, folks – but exposing all of the ugliness is about to get real.

I personally vote for Sad Hulk.

2. Great compilation!

But our fight is far from over, though I believe we have won a major victory because we have stopped the blind march into fascism.

Trump’s supporters will not go silently into the night, any more than we did.

5. Always remember ...

The people who were persuaded that Trump is an honest, good Christian man can just as easily be persuaded that he's the devil incarnate.

That's the thing with the easily-led - they are just as easily led in one direction as another.

All it takes at this point is FOX-News to turn on him, and the sheep will follow without question. And all it takes for FOX-News to turn on him is the realization that the 2020 election is lost if they keep defending the indefensible.

In RepublicanWorld, NO ONE is safe if their numbers are going down - not even Trump.

Wonder if there are still Trumpers in the wake of hurricane Michael. Will the shutdown change minds?

16. When the social contract is dead, there is an all-against-all environment. Not a civilized society.

In Leviathan itself, Thomas Hobbes states:

I demonstrate, in the first place, that the state of men without civil society (which state we may properly call the state of nature) is nothing else but a mere war of all against all; and in that war all men have equal right unto all things.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common Power ... in that condition which is called War; and such a war as is of every man against every man. ...

In such condition there is no place for Industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain:
and consequently no Culture of the Earth;
no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea;
no commodious Building;
no Instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force;
no Knowledge of the face of the Earth;
no account of Time;
no Arts;
no Letters;
no Society;
and which is worst of all, continual Fear, and danger of violent death;
And the life of man solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

According to Hobbes, the outcome is that people choose to enter a social contract, giving up some of their liberties in order to enjoy peace.

Thanks for your excellent portrayal of the state of things.

17. What a Horror show! It reads like

endless episodes of The Twilight Zone. Yet here we are having lived through this Nightmare for over two insane years.

Mahalo Nance for your brilliant observations on what our country is on the Traitor in the WH.

Thank Goodness for our Blue Waves that swept the new sheriffs into town. And, Robert Swan Mueller III!
