Imagine a hooligan pouring sugar into the gas tank of an expensive and well-maintained car. Trump is that hooligan. America is that car.

1. Exactly right

Nowhere more in evidence than in the slew of XOs issued this past week. Shoulda been evident in those horrific cabinet picks.

2. How long will it take to gum up the works to a full standstill ?

3. Actually, engine damage by pouring sugar or Kayro syrup into a gas tank is more of a wive's tale.

4. More like the planet is that car.

9. Exactly what I've been thinking since the election

N/T

11. It is exactly that.

Welcome to DU!

5. I love Stephen King.

I think I own all his books or at least have read those I don't own except for a few of his recent books and they are good reads. So happy he's got his head straight about what's happening. America loves and listens to celebrities, the dark side of this is that's how we got drumpf, Raygun and Ahnald.

7. It's been great to have his stories in my head in this life!

He is also great to follow on FB and Twitter.

I am part of a FB group for Constant Readers and they really stop the political talk, which i find kind of odd. If you love his work it's because of how it opens your mind to thoughts. And he is very public about his politics (as is his right!). Even he was shocked the day after the election and had to get off Twitter for a bit. That's how bad it is! Trump being president scares Stephen KING!!!!!!

6. No - He actually threw a match in the gas tank

in an attempt to literally ignite a civil war - and that will justify any dystopian measures to quell it and rob us blind in the chaos.

8. The official policy of the Trump White House is hatred and vandalism

and the people they hire are highly qualified to carry it out

10. More like pouring gasoline all over the outside of the car

then smashing the windows to pour it inside, and then make the car great again by setting it on fire.

Trump is so much worse than any hooligan. He is dividing Americans and encouraging hate and bigotry.

Dude could always buy himself a new car or flee to another country if they'll take him. It's going to take a great many years to heal our country after the damage he's caused.

12. That's by design. The first order of kleptocracy is to create a crisis, then loot under its guise.

Just like Putin did to become himself the richest oligarch in the world.

We're next, America!

Before the fall: America's public lands on clearance rack
