Trump's Presidency Is Shaping Up to Be an American Tragedy

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

They're already building the inaugural stand on the west side of the Capitol building. In six weeks, Donald Trump will stand on it, in front of thousands, and take the oath of office to become the 45th president of the United States.

We know Trump has named as his chief counselor a man who runs a website read and appreciated by the most virulent racists in America, a man who, according to court documents, told his wife he didn't want his children going to school with Jews and who reportedly thought it would be "not such a bad thing" if fewer African-Americans voted.

We know Trump named as his national security adviser a man who, days before the election, promulgated a conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton and sex crimes with children. (But not "Pizzagate," yet another conspiracy theory involving Clinton and child sex crimes – it was Flynn's son and chief of staff who tweeted about that one.) We also know that national security adviser called Islam a "political ideology" and said the religion is like a "malignant cancer."

We know Trump nominated for attorney general a man the Senate refused to confirm as a federal judge for being too racist in 1986, a year when it was still openly debated whether apartheid was all that bad.

1. I'm leaning more towards a Theatre of the Absurd.

.


It's like a Samuel Beckett play, where after you watch it, you sit

for a while and ask yourself, "What the fuck did I just watch?"

4. I Was A Theater Major With A BFA. Theater Of The Absurd Was Intriguing.

In gauging this situation look at "Waiting For Godot". Trump is like Godot. He is the rescuer who never comes. Then go to the play "Bald Soprano". Compare it to the political gobbledegook we hear today. Now that play makes no sense. I saw in when one of the seniors did the play as a project.

We are living the despair of Eugene O'Neill's "Long Days Journey Into Night". It is a very dark play.

2. Do you think he'll work the word "pussy" into his speech?

3. And, an American Horror

[Xipe Totec]

5. History repeats itself. First as a tragedy (Hitler), then as a farce (Trump) nt

[Jacob Boehme]

6. Sigh....

Donald J. Trump: All the entertainment value of a self-administered colonoscopy.... but with a lot more remaining "residue" afterwards.

7. I was thinking it was shaping up to be a military dictatorship

8. In front of thousands. Nice little dig.

Obama stood in front of millions.

9. Look for some more military madness.

10. instead of going to or watching the inaugural

I would like to see civil or uncivil people in this country protest at the JEH FBI building and the Russian embassy.

11. Sounds as if he's continuing his campaign...

of getting "off" from actually having to serve. NO ONE is actually this stupid or tone deaf. If he's serious, then he's just trying to see how stupid the American people are and how much they'll put up with toward a dictatorship.
