We no longer have a functioning f*ing government.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

It's a shit show, a goat rodeo, a kindergarten class on Red Bull and armed with grenade launchers. How is this mess ever going to be sorted?

[unblock]

1. sadly it will take a whole lot more than just replacing donnie.

the republican party, the money, the courts, the gerrymandering, the voting laws, the election counting, the media,...

all of it has been corrupted

[ooky]

13. Exactly. Trump is a stinkweed that found a home in this soil.

[leftieNanner]

2. Plus 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

I agree completely. The toxic items keep procreating - like massive cell division from science class.

A comment stolen from another thread: I'm already exhausted for next week. (Or something to that effect.)

"Kindergarten class on Red Bull..."

[dchill]

4. Plus infinity.

[leftieNanner]

11. And Beyond!

[elleng]

3. Superficially, yes, but

I worked for the Federal government for 20+ years, and in fact we 'worker bees' worked and work, whatever administration and congress are doing or fail to do.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Yes, the regular day-to-day work continues in most agencies

except for maybe the EPA, which has been gutted. But the glue that's holding the basic structure together seems to be coming loose.

[elleng]

12. I agree about the glue,

and saddens me tremendously as a former DC resident and now retired Fed employee, in MD, so still close. And attorney, for whom Rule of Law is critical.

[Ohiogal]

5. Those are excellent descriptions.

I tend to think of it as a raging toddler flinging poo while minions try as hard as they can to catch it so the adults don't see what's really happening.

Some Democrat is really going to have their hands full cleaning it up.

[democratisphere]

6. As soon as we have purged drumpf et al from the WH and

redumbliCONS from Congress the disinfection of our Democracy can begin.

[Nevilledog]

7. It's really fucking scary.

[C_U_L8R]

8. We've been Trumped.

What a fucking shitshow. And the GOP is going down with him. For generations, if we're fortunate.

[Iliyah]

10. t-rump, his family, administration,

cabinet members, GOP congresscritters are all, every last one of them, are totally INSANE.

fake news (Murdoch), hate radio, social media sites both news and others, are totally INSANE.

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. The Gov't functions quite well, actually.

if you are a greedy grasping republican , or Trump family member, or a for-profit prison/detention company, or a Trump cabinet member who has a business tied to any of the despots that Trump likes.

[Blue_Tires]

15. Don't look at me, I tried to warn folks...

[Yavin4]

16. And when the Democrats take the WH and don't fix everything in 24 hours....

Everyone will cry about a failed Democratic presidency.
