But we better hope that somebody can at least restrain Trump, or we ourselves may not survive him....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-78807681054870906712017-01-31T09:59:32.091-05:002017-01-31T09:59:32.091-05:00Hi RT....I'm afraid you may be right.

And while it may just be the work of one of Netanyahu's faithful stooges, I don't find it an encouraging sign. For I'm pretty sure that Trump would love a war, if only to distract people from the royal mess he's making of America....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-34183620795436595612017-01-31T09:54:53.335-05:002017-01-31T09:54:53.335-05:00hi anon...I've never supported a coup against ...hi anon...I've never supported a coup against any elected government. But I think in Trump's case I will make an exception.

I simply can't believe what I'm seeing. I knew Trump and his Trumpanzees would make a lousy government, but it's even worse than I imagined. And while I wish that somebody would declare him too mentally ill to be president. I fear it really is going to be like the story of the Emperor with no clothes.

Charles Koch has already signalled to his people. The junior wingnut welfare bums who practice within the networks may be given some examples of what happens when their ambition leads them into projects with potential outcomes contrary to the expectations of their career funders. Of course, at least one of the propagandists that Trump has elevated to policy rationalization will be excused; she was just doing her job. Bannon is another story. He could be the perfect object lesson for the youngsters or he could be too big for any of that.<br /><br />Who will save America? Who will come to the rescue and pretend to clean up the turds that their own dogs left on the sidewalk during the long period of amnesia while America drooled transfixed, first by Lifestyles and Reagan's soothing assurances, and then by the backstabbing and butt-kissing of Survivor and The Apprentice? Maybe Trump Nation has already decided that it's all too late.John B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-1285705062553705582017-01-30T21:37:39.740-05:002017-01-30T21:37:39.740-05:00The speed with which he has propagated the weirdne...The speed with which he has propagated the weirdness is astounding. As the song goes "Like a hard luck ace he doesn't have any time to waste". Although only speculation, it is likely the generals are gone because he doesn't want any leaks before launching his Yuuggge attack on the Islamic terrorists. Similar to the Bush "shock and awe" campaign only much Yuugger and more stupid. Its seems war is the only option he has to cement in his authority otherwise tax forms, conflicts of interests,legal action, public opinion will bring him down. Hope I am wrong perhaps he just excels at mindless political weirdness.<br />RTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-4654187718080692112017-01-30T16:23:12.461-05:002017-01-30T16:23:12.461-05:00Mad Dog Mattis is already going rogue.
