We are so fucked with this monster and the vicious republican party ready to kill all the poor people they can get their hands on.

If something happens it's going to be a coupe from inside. He takes the US out as a viable country, the Defense Contractors are going to not be happy to lose revenue stream.

(16,314 posts)you could initiate social programs to alleviate the abject poverty and hopelessness that leads to gang warfare, which is the reason for the increase in "carnage." Not to mention easy access to guns. But you won't.....asshole.

The "fun" of His Over-the-top-ness is long over, it's time to call in the Category 5 shrinks for an intervention and a one-way trip to a padded cell. With NO Twitter.

(15,233 posts)Trump has managed to alienate and make enemies of the American assets who might have those skills. It will be interesting to see how the Secret Service reacts when a mentally disturbed Trump is forcefully removed from office. Trump is seriously mentally ill it goes beyond ideology.
Earthican
(39 posts)I am a bit of a student of history, but I am having a hard time thinking of any time in history where we had someone in office who could do anything at anytime for any reason or no reason at all. It will be interesting to say the least. After this election, I do not know if I want to live in interesting times. I could go for some good old fashioned boring eras of good government.
Guilded Lilly
(5,591 posts)the people who, in his magnified, whacko delusions, he actually thinks he is ruling. His only twisted recourse is to strike back wildly and vengefully against the smallest perceived slight. And EVERYTHING is a slight to him. His paper thin feelings are wounded and in his newfound self-important alternative universe, he feels he is omnipotent. Truth isn't real if it proves his inferiority in anything. Everyone in his first and second tier staff are losing their souls and probably their minds trying to stay on the less whacko side of his grandiose and bellicose malignant narcissism.
The Women's March far exceeds the piss poor attendance of his inauguration...he dashes off disgusting executive orders, destroying, denigrating and demeaning females rights over their bodies, their health care and basically, everything.
Rahm Emmanuel tweets something he doesn't like and suddenly he is threatening to send in the feds to Chicago!
Behind the gigantic smoke screen of his whacko brain stands the genuine evil: The Republican Congress. While his thoroughly horrific diversionary behavior is grabbing the appalled attention of a frightened and outraged public, they are quietly, gleefully and stealthily destroying everything decent about our country. THEY are the evil. He is merely the ugly, bombastic slight of hand.
The media ignores the real stories to focus on the reality show crap, and his dissing of them, which is a huge part of the *show* they are promoting.
And we lose our freedoms, our earth and our global dignity.
Yup f'n nuts.

Sending in the feds to deal with Chicago violence is a signal to his supporters that he is going to clamp down on all these angry violent blacks that are living off Obama's welfare they have been told about on Fox . Black Lives Matter, New Black Panther Party, you know.

turbinetree
(24,683 posts)have you ever thought for one minute, just one minute that you are fucking nuts.
What are you going to do--------------declare martial law, you do fucking realize, that since you are suppose to be a states rights kinda of sexual predator, that the governor of the state must call on the state to be under martial law, and if some state does not uphold a law for example like they did down in South back in the day in Brown vs Board of Education, when the president had to send in National Guard troops to enforce the law, you do know nut job the difference correct, because if you don't then you really should resign, before you are indicted, for lets say what you said about Iraq oil just three days ago at Langley-----------that is considered war crimes to use troops to take over a sovereign country resources, and you are bound and determined to get people hurt, either in this country or somewhere else
Again you are fucking nuts...................

(24,461 posts)"Send tanks, police and jails into teh ghettos" is the stuff of white supremacy meetings. And this mentality now runs the country.
Urban AND rural problems can be solved via a WPA/CCC. Infrastructure updates. New industries to spurn urban AND rural renewal.
But Orange Lincoln Rockwell would rather "pew pew pew" his own IRL Michael Bay movie. Pendejo Naranja.
