We Seem To Be Sliding Into A New Abnormal With This Moron In The White House.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Almost feel like this new dystopian normal? is the fate of the nation. Trump is not going anywhere soon enough and we have a VP who is just as vile as Trump. Our only hope is 2018. Even that hope is still way too far away. Any real change is still more than a year away even if the Dems make big gains.

Trump has been able to staff the government with the most destructive inappropriate Cabinet in history. And we have a horde of the worst characters now in high level positions in our federal system. Almost every government institution faces serious malfunction because of these saboteurs.

The irony is that the people who support Trump will be harmed the most over time. Yet these fools still seem to persist in demanding they be trashed. Cannot understand their impatience about having their Trump not acting fast enough to take their federal benefits from them. How do you square their form of insanity?

1. With each passing day it seems more like rocketing than sliding.

As for the Cabinet ministers, with this regime it’s all about grift, graft or destruction. All deliberately chosen for their opposition to, open disdain for and willingness to gut and bleed out their respective departments. Between gerrymandering, domestic meddling/manipulation, "Russification" and other cyber/electronic interference I do not have a great deal of faith in USA election integrity for either 2018 or 2020. I sincerely hope I'm wrong about that.

2. America's status in the world has dropped dramatically since the election.

Trump is a catastrophe.

3. Pessimistic here also.

Hope I live to see the country moving forward and respected by the world. Right now, we're in a pit.

4. I Have Been Accused Of Being To Negative. I Have Been Hoping Since Reagan. Now This.

I knew Reagan was the devil in 1981. I worked at DOL and could see things few others had a chance too. I followed the news and editorials ever since hoping thet Reagan and the GOP would get dinged. Yet all I have seen is a slow slide back ward. Thee was hope with Clinton, then he played the bipartisan crap. Helped pass NAFTA which was a historical blunder. Then he helped pass welfare reform, favored nation status, Telecom 96.

Obama was a real ray of hope that we would reverse course. Then obstruction and the GOP was rewarded for it. Now this. So I still try to hope, but now I wonder.
