17. We are past the realm of insane here.

Sep 2017

Past even the Twilight Zone, unless we really take a look hard at this.

I am trying to think of future history books (or ereaders, whatever!) if this went down. A pathetic businessman gets elected to the highest office, and without ever actually doing anything at all for the good of the country, starts this horrendous war. Those future people are going to think we were very stupid for letting this happen.

I know tRump and his ilk do not study history, but surely there are those in Congress who will do something.
