Trumps disordered personality has spawned a level of mayhem and incompetence that defies imaginatio

Six months in and we’ve reached a level of mayhem, compulsive lying and incompetence that defies the imagination. Just to mix the animal metaphors, there’s more bull running through Washington right now than the streets of Pamplona, and for our nation’s capital, that’s saying something.

Snip...........

To repeat the question over and over: What is he trying to hide? Getting to the truth of what happened is important, not just because of what it says about the amorality of this administration but also the devastating attack Russia has attempted on our democracy, part of a pattern of interference that has been perpetrated against European democracies as well.

Snip.............

But for this moment, let’s focus on just a couple of recent developments that suffice to show that much is rotten in the state of Trump.

First, there’s that New York Times interview Trump granted last Wednesday, a cross-examination that for sheer inarticulateness and borderline madness rivals The Caine Mutiny’s Captain Queeg clacking away with his ball bearings and muttering about the crew stealing strawberries.

The Times’ David Brooks said it demonstrated “a disturbing level of incoherent thinking,” which is putting it mildly. The president is like a one-man game of Telephone: he hears information from wherever or whomever but when he repeats it back, the facts are thrown in the air and come down as surrealist jabberwocky.

Thus, Napoleon Bonaparte, Trump thinks, “… his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.” Huh? As for health insurance, “…you’re 21 years old, you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance, and by the time you’re 70, you get a nice plan.” Where would that be, the Planet Mongo?

Putting it on 45 washes republicans hands.

1) he never would have gotten any air if they had not brain washed 45% of this country the last quarter century.

2) They rolled over and accepted him once he got the nomination and to this day provide him the cover to operate as an out and out fascist dictator.

I turn on the television to get an idea of what peril might befall us that day. Imagine how bored (and well rested) we'd be if Hillary had been sworn in. It's hard to believe this is really happening.
