Like the hours before Katrian hit New Orleans, any one who was paying attention to the Meteorologists knew with absolute certainty that New Orleans would be catastrophically flooded and people were going to die.

So it is now with Trump.

Any one who is not a FOX zombie knows the avoidable horrors and devastation and death that are in the near future. Even McConnell and the rest of the enablers know this is going to be catastrophic. But they care more about maintaining their own personal power than our country and the world itself.

One can only hope there's a rift in the space time continuum that created this.

We're in Back to the Future II and Biff is Trump.

But we're the nightmare version with no time machine.
I wonder what Spielberg is thinking about this election.

Movie about a guy who hacks other companies' technology, and vastly improves on their work. But, he also puts himself through a memory-wipe in order to protect the work he did for his client.

What you don't know through most of the movie, is that one of his upgrades allows him to see the future. He realizes that he will help establish a mego-maniac president who will push the button and end the world. There is no way out of the memory wipe, so he leaves a bunch of clues for himself in an envelope that he knows he will get back before they release him.

Because in that movie Trump-clone media mogul billionaire loses his election. I'm watching it right now.

Everything about Kane reminds me like Trump. From the "lock her up" crap to an October surprise sex scandal.

How did Citizen Kane become president?
