He's shut down the government.
He's fucking every refugee at the Mexican border fleeing from rape, torture, murder.
He's pulling our troops out of Syria, which means death for our Syrian allies, and perhaps the end of any hope for a nation, or even survival for the Kurds.
He's destroying our economy which is tied to the world economy. Another Great Depression?
And it ain't just him. Every fucking Republican is part and parcel of the disaster named Donald Trump.
As of January 3rd, there will be opposition. Nancy Pelosi will let the orange motherf***er know that there's another branch of government.
How will the crazy bastard react to this? Nuke North Korea, Iran, or San Francisco? Who knows.
The only certainty is that either this madman must be dragged from the White House as soon as possible. Or America, as we have known it, is over.
Hyperbole? Tell me where I'm wrong. Show me another scenario. Tell us all how this insanity ends.

The #IPOTUS has all but secured transforming the DOJ into his own legal department.
Batshit right-wing judges are everywhere now.
A drunkard, abusive, fratboy ignoramus is now on the SCOTUS - joining at least three other extremist weirdos that you wouldn't even socialize with, let alone seek legal advice from.
Where the f$&! are we anyway? What the f&!@ happened to our country?
Is there any recourse to us, other than the unprecedented?

I see the insanity end in the midmorning of a cold January day.

(13,360 posts)I agree, and the Congress Rethugs and their ilk and the Wall Street players and everyone else who is complicit in this "Slow Coup" is on my list for Leavenworth as well.
As much as I worry about things, I also have a great faith in the actual structure of Gevt and Rule of Law and so there has to be something greater that will come out of this mess.
...That being said, I have been saying for a while now he's gonna end up full King George before it's all over. He won't be frog-walked out of the WH, they will literally roll up an ambulance with a SWAT team to the side-door, and fetch him, maybe even with one of those collar things that animal control uses.
They will bring him down like the great wildebeast he is, and wrap him cozy in a straight jacket and strap his ass onto the gurney.
He will be foaming and screaming intelligibles and swear words in a flowery mix, all fully televised.
After about 48-72 hours of Detox/Re-medicating, he will be able to stand trial...
......that's my fantasy anyway
