Description
At the city gateswas a massive construct
in the shape of a beast.
Signs on it said "Toxic",
"Danger", "Keep Away."
What to do? Should it be
brought into the city?
The people had their say.
Three million more said No
than said Yes.
A quirk of law said No
was outnumbered -
what a shame.
Into the city it came.

It seems to be something that people forget he lost by a lot, they are not the majority I try really hard to keep that in mind.

He keeps trying to say he had a historic win - slips that in every chance he gets - but he had no such thing.
The historic thing about the Orange One is the enormity of his incompetence, ignorance, arrogance and cruelty.
Did you see the other day how he said a lot of people didn't know Lincoln was a Republican? That means Trump didn't know that himself until recently!

I am truly terrified that our institutions are not working and this orange thing is destroying more every single day. He is getting away with things that qualify for impeachment and his republican cronies are so corrupted that they don't give a darn. Anarchy seems to be what we are headed for. Β This administration is attacking the very foundation of our country.

I was just reading about Secretary of State Tillerson - he talks to very few people in the State Department and those who work there have been instructed not to look him in the eyes if they are with him. Seriously!
You're right, it is the very foundations being attacked. The Republicans in Congress are corrupt and cowardly as well, those who know better are scared to say anything. And Trump is loosing the reins on the Pentagon in the Middle East - they were FAR too loose under Obama but it's already worse.
The courts are a kind of firewall for the time being. If Gorsuch is confirmed some things will be hopeless for a generation. I don't mean to be pessimistic... that's just how it looks to me.

I read that same thing. Who knows what that guy is up to. Just read a piece saying there is a good chance Trump will resign soon, we will see. Pense oh my god no , no , no. This is a never ending nightmare.Β
Β The court, yup, and when did it become a thing that when replacing a judge that they had to keep the existing balance, that's right wing bull that has been disseminated so frequently that people buy into it. It is not his seat to appoint .Β
Β I'm not watching it Β like I was , watching more sci-fi and documentaries less talking heads, it's making me way to anxious. Β Pessimistic , I think we have good reason to be and scared , I am really scared.

Of course Trump doesn't want to be president and wishes he could quit but I don't think he will - and if he did - when I look at photos of Pence his eyes are dead, I think he has no soul.
Right - Scalia died so the court has to have another right wing wack job in his place? That's nonsensical.
But that is really good about not paying too much attention to it all. Every morning I wake up and think "what did Trump do now?" I have even dreamed about him. We have to stay informed but losing our minds won't help.

I was dreaming about him too, driving me crazy.I stopped watching Lawrence at night because of that. Bad enough we have to see it in the day time without that monster entering our dreams. It is very hard not to pay attention , almost like an addiction. I agree , not sure Pence has a soul , not sure any of them do, look at how cruel Ryan is.

Ryan is as cruel as the day is long. A grin, a haircut, a nice suit, blue eyes and a malevolent heart.

Yup , I couldn't agree more.

The Trojan Hearse. Troy, New York, that is. I wonder if he has any connections with thAt place.

All his connections seem to be within his own broken mind

He's not connected to reality.

I can only agree. And I see no immediate way out. Reagan often lived in a fantasy world, of course. But even Reagan was not like this. Man. Nostalgia for Reagan is the last thing I ever thought I'd feel.
A family member had a conversation with a Trump voter the other day - a young professional one, who said we didn't need the EPA, regulation was strangling business, and the EPA was started by Jimmy Carter. When I heard about it later I was like "what the what now?" The EPA was begun by Nixon. This unhinged president draws the loyalty of people who are totally uninformed.
End of rant. Thanks for listening.

The uninformed are in the majority, it seems, and Fox News defines their world along with other such bodies of opinion rather than truth. Personal self-delusion rules.

Don't want to watch any more
Too tired
Strip the floor
Shovel the dirt
Start the garden
Kiss the baby
Make the coffee
Make some music
Drive to work
Just....can't watch any more
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup. It's all too much.

I really did a lot of shoveling yesterday. Helps me to think.Β
I read the headlines and move on.... just in case I need to put on my gas mask or find a bunker. Of course if I read it in a headline....
Our government reminds me of a dogfight we tried to break up as a kids. (Our dogs)Β
The viciousness put us in distress, so I used a long 2x4 to pry them loose while my brother hosed them off.
It didn't work. Each had a point to make and would not relent.Β
Neither won.
And they got to spend the rest of the next few days in a muddy mess.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. I want to stay informed but I deliberately remind myself that knowing absolutely everything will not by itself make anything better.
The dogs are a perfect analogy. With mud going all over the rest of us - and some bites too.

"deplorable" was its name
its people, though the same
could not accept any blame

I read a couple of stories over the weekend about seriously ill people dependent on the Affordable Care Act for insurance - and they voted for Trump - and they're not even mad at him that they may become uninsured. We're trying to save these people from themselves

People have somehow invested their psychic
identities in Trump's seeming genuine,
tell-it-like-it-is persona. They've "fallen,
and they can't get up". They hear or see
something negative, it gets discounted and
they believe even stronger. It seems, I think,
to be part of our species adaptive religious
tendencies.
Due to the cognitive dissonance they're rather
helpless. It's gonna take time, he has snookered
them so deeply. Just what the world needed - a
conscienceless charismatic narcissistic sociopath.
Avanka, save us. She may be the only one who
has any power over him, due to her never telling
on him. I think she may hold 'the' secret.
