Is this whole administration insane?

Trump STILL thinks he was wiretapped. Even though ALL eveidence actually says NO, it did not happen. Evidence does demonstrate that tRump got the idea from FOX (faux) newslessness. Who in turn may have gotten it from Breitbart, who may have been channeling Alex "twitless" Jones, master conspiracy theorist extrodinaire.

Rex Tillerson seems to have realized he is totally out of his element and left South Korea in a daze. He claims fatigue, he is right, he wore himself out trying to understand that which eludes him and always will.

The Attorney General fired 44 attorneys general to stop one particular attorney general from continuing to investigate the HHS Secretary Price.

Trump meets with the leader of Germany and won't shake her hand?

Tillerson sent a warning shot across North Koreas bow, saying basically behave or we will whack you. This actually should be considered a warning shot across Americas bow. He is warning us that Trump plans on attacking Korea, hopefully the northern portion, so that he can legitimize his presidency and declare marshal law and lock up anyone who disagrees with him, which is pretty much everybody at this point. Except of course anyone standing next to him at that moment.

is typically staffed with career civil servants and diplomats with broad and deep knowledge of international affairs. Trump thinks he can get rid of everyone but a skeleton crew of bootlickers and "wing it" in foreign policy. Trump will eventually tell us that "nobody knew foreign policy was so complicated," or claim all the upcoming chaos is Obama's fault. I am dismayed that we have needlessly offended the British, Germans, and South Koreans--all close allies and strategic partners-- in the space of 24 hours.

Maybe more. We all know he is nuts. If he bombs North Korea, he will see protests the likes of which he can't even imagine.

as long as he can get thousands of people to come to his neo-Nuremberg rallies, as long as he can strut around with sycophants fluffing his ego, Trump won't give a fuck, and it sure seems like most of the people Trump appointed don't give much of a fuck either, as illustrated here:


i remember the invasion of Afghanistan, and later the more "whimsical" invasion of Iraq, W's army bombed the holy shit out of those places, and you're damn right there were protests. for days, even weeks, hundreds of thousands of people marched in the streets against W's lawless bloodshed. and eventually, the marches dwindled away, W became a "war president" and got re-elected in 2004.

even given Trump at 15-pts lower on the popularity scale than W, even if the protests are 3x the size and duration of the anti-Iraq-war protests, eventually they too will fade. it's a whole lot harder to sustain outrage than it is to cause it.

we only have one chance to stop this madness: win a house of congress back in 2018. severe damage between now and 2018 is inevitable, but if we can take back either the house or the senate, Democrats can slow the bleeding and maybe start fixing some of the things Trump broke.

Russia, to orchestrate our future. Allowing someone as clearly immature and disturbed as trump to control that future is....what ? Crazy? So either he is crazy or we are crazy. Crazy for letting this Potemkin village, a malevolent and malicious icon, of an American administration to continue on its merry way as we all wait for what we know is coming. War.
