11. Both Ryan and McConnell were in on installing the crazy con man w/a Russia helped coup

How did McConnell know that by blocking Merrick Garland he would get
somebody else to pick from for SCOTUS? And Ryan is on record telling
republicans that real family keeps secrets such as Trump and Dana Rohrabacher
were getting money from Russia.

14. I think he's mean-spirited and autocratic, and that he is being exactly the kind of person

that the right-wing voters want.

They are racists and have accepted their entitlement as a God given right. Trump is exactly what they sound like when they are in their insular circles.

And, yes, to those of us who understand what Christianity and the Fourteenth Amendment stand for, they come across as crazy.

He's counting his chips already, and wants us to pay attention to anything EXCEPT the tax bill.

4. He's always been a con man and nuts

Daddy's money and connections made people suck his ass his whole life. He can be nuts, and get away with it. Our country is going down the shitter with him as President and a Congress that won't stop him. Let's hope he does not blow up the world. If two scoops orders a nuke on N. Korea, the military will probably go along. After all, he IS President. Hard to believe they would not push the button. The rest of the world is as shocked as we are. Let's hope N. Korea knows this is not Nixon, and Trump IS nuts. That is what we are reduced to, hoping N. Korea is not as nuts as Trump.

6. IMO the guy's dementia is really settling in, plus all the other mental imbalances he has. He

well might get a twitch to hit the nuke button in the middle of the night. Plus, beyond all of this, he has no idea WTF he's doing. It's a bad combination all the way around. His idea of a presidency seems to be sending stupid obnoxious tweets around. And as IMO the world questions the democracy of the US when a creature like Trump can ascend to the presidency despite all of the checks and balances the US has. We are truly living in extremely dangerous times. This well might not end well.

After seeing stories that they were going back to NY. Who the hell knows anymore. It's all insane.

Oh... supposedly Kelly has clipped Jared's wings and taken away some of his duties, although he is still in charge of brokering the Middle East peace deal. Yeah, sure.
