In Trumpialand , Endless Flock Of Chickens Endlessly Comes Home To Roost
by John Russell
"Give him a chance" the Trumpsters bleat about their hero.
Give America a chance, is what I say to them. The country and it's great people are being smothered, suffocated, and sat on by the 500 pound baboon named Donald J. Trump. ( and no, "baboon" is not a racial reference when applied to a blond haired blue eyed guy of German descent.) Trump's endless parade of fabrications, exaggerations, bamboozlings, innuendos, mistakes, b.s. , nonsense, trivialities, self-reverential booshwa, con games, dopery, etc etc etc are wearing out the hearts and minds of otherwise normal Americans.
People say things will settle down and the president will find a groove and a rhythm of co-operation with Congress and adherence to facts and normality, and everything will be fine again.
Uh no. Besides his mountainous personal flaws of character, Trump is a conspiracy nut who has or does still believe in over 50 different conspiracies and factual fabrications. This indicates a permanent lack in judgment that will never disappear.
The "chickens are coming home to roost", the pace of craziness is picking up steam. The polls are becoming scarier (75% of Americans fear a "major war" will occur in the next 4 years), the pointed criticism of the president* is picking up steam ( the previous Republican president, George W. Bush made a speech condemning "bigotry and white supremacy" that is seen as directly referring to Trump) , the Mueller investigation is closing in on him, and the media is more interested than ever in his "psychological" state.
And the thing is, all this will NEVER stop. It will never stop because it is Trump's way of life.
What we have to ask is why we allow someone of such profound personal defects , abnormalities and psychological issues to inflict himself on our national way of life.
One can surmise that is where the "deplorables" come in, the 30-35% of Americans who would cheer Trump shooting someone in Times Square.
They are the ones who have to look in the mirror, not the rest of us.

Unless he is forced from office, we have 39 more months of this insanity to endure. Whether the country as we know it can survive that span is an open issue.
And your life has been messed up.......HOW again ?
Why should we change America for this asshole and 35 % of the population?
When I say change America, I am talking about his destroying the norms and traditions of public discourse that have survived this country for tens of generations.
If you are happy to have a constantly lying and mistaken ASSHOLE in office, who instigates extreme controversy most days of EVERY week, I feel sorry for you.
I guess you never heard of Theodore Roosevelt? Trump is as brash as Roosevelt was.
Was Teddy Roosevelt a serial liar? I don't remember that in the history books.
So serial lying is a bad thing in a President now? Odd that a Clinton supporter would be upset with serial lying, since that's about all she did well.
He was a politician, and actually lied to corporations. He took their campaign donations and then busted them as Monopolies.
Trump lies 4x as much as Clinton does.
A new book came out recently concerning Trump's mental health. 25 leading psychologists and psychiatrists from top universities joined forces to say that he is a danger to the nation.
Then we had Infowars and the Fox News shrink Keith Ablow saying that Clinton was unhinged.
I'll go with the experts.
I agree.
You're kidding right? You don't believe in the tyranny of the majority?
The "experts" who violated their own ethical standards? Those experts?
The states gave up being a buffer in 1913, by ratifying the 17th Amendment causing all Senators to be elected by popular vote instead of being appointed by means approved of by each individual state, usually by being appointed by the legislatures.
Of course only 23% voted for Trump. And, that is because 50% of eligible voters even vote and usually because they get fired up about ONE issue. The hatred of Trump is foolishness in the extreme, because he had never held a public office before. How can anyone know how he was going to act? Hillary was a known CORRUPT quantity. There were decades of evidence of her actions in public office from her secret health reform committee while she was First Lady to her actions as Senator and Secretary of State. We know how she would act, because she held office and lorded over people. Trump, on the other hand, was unknown and so, Trump campaigned on being an unknown quantity and people voted for him in individual states, as much because he WASN’T Hillary as much as for his positions on issues. Get that thought into your minds and you might start thinking rationally again.
Why don't you explain to him why the Electoral College is necessary in our form of government, John. I truly believe you know, even though you act as though you're against it. Tell him what it would be like to have the mob rule.
He didn't get us into a war with Spain. It occurred before he became President. In fact, he resigned as the Secretary of the Navy to fight in the war.
So YOU really want to know?
I guess you know how we felt for the last eight years having Obama changing this country as he was doing so I can understand how you feel, as I felt the same way, I guess.
I can tell you from experience, even though I thought Obama was going to completely change this country, he was unsuccessful. I believe that was his intentions and I feel he did great damage to this country and the citizens by dividing us to such a degree as we are today even before Trump was a candidate. I now realize he wasn't completely successful with all the support from the media and half the country.
I realize Trump will not change this country even as much as Obama did, with half the country and all of the media against him. As I said before the election he would be running into walls with every step and up to this point in time everything he has done has been done Constitutionally, unlike the things Obama did.
I really hate to see you go off the deep end. I always figured you for a more stable person than you appear today.
Trump calls Ted Cruz a liar :

Perhaps.....
Did each of them meet with Trump in order to make their "scientific evaluations"? I highly doubt it.
Over fux's lone shrink? You bet I'll take the experts. Does the fux shrink have any credentials, or is he a ex- Dentist moonlighting as a part-time shrink?
You never hear me, a conservative from California doing that. I like to use when companies, jobs, investment, middle class people, etc. move from California to Texas to rub in our liberals faces here and tell them it should be more until they change their policies. California sucks as a state and is the worst one by far. The time has come for Jefferson.
Trumpism is already a failure. Trump is universally despised. Approval of the gop in Congress is abysmal...
Tell that to the booming stock market and all of the jobs created since he was sworn in as our President.
Let's see....Boehner was the orange man and Pres. Trump is the orange mess. What is it with orange that has liberals crazy?
Well, it's just that the highest ranking Republicans are orange, is all, it's somewhat unsettling. If Mike Pence and Paul Ryan go orange we'll REALLY start to freak out!
Sad part is you really believe that nonsense.
The reality is beau-coup money sat on the sidelines for the previous eight years because of doubts over the Obama administrations future fiscal policy. And now it is getting spent. That is largely because of a Trump presidency.
Obama presidency? Not so much but take heart.
He was one helleva gun salesman. Best ever actually.
Look at graphs that show the economic health of the ,market, cover of the time line, then point to where tRump comes on board, bet you can't show a change.
Time will tell but i don't need a graph right now. My portfolio is up nearly 18% already since Trump was elected.
Best it did in the previous couple years was about 9%.
Obama is/was a failure.
Obama is/was universally despised
Approval of the dems in Congress is/was abysmal...
Dumb liberals will be saying these same things seven years from now as Trump winds up his second successful term, and during all that time they could not do a thing about it except cry and whine. I love the daily display of their anger and unhappiness, especially when Hillary is encouraged to run again in 2020.
Consecutive sentences are not called terms.
The result of the next presidential election will tell the tale.
Of course you would think along those lines, nobody else in the world even went down that road until you brought it up...
And here's the latest:
"JOIN US" - New Tom Steyer TV Ad To Impeach Trump
He's brought us to the brink of nuclear war . . .obstructed justice at the FBI . . . and in direct violation of the Constitution he's threatened to shut down news organizations that report the truth . . .
