What a very strange time we are living through right now.....

Never have truer words been spoken.

We currently have hundreds of thousands of people not receiving their paychecks, and idiot GOP-ers are telling them to take out loans, and saying it is not that big of a deal. We could literally have major catastrophic events occur based on the lack of support for air traffic controllers right now, and this fucking moron wants a wall that will literally do nothing he says it will. He proudly said he would take all the blame for the shutdown, which is his fault, and now he is saying it is on the Dems. Yet none of his idiot supporters can be bothered to ask themselves why he waited until the House was controlled by the Democrats. Surely his vanity project would have gotten through when his party controlled both the House and Senate. At least, it would have gotten funding. The damn thing will never be built, and this is all a show.

Rant over. I really hate this guy and the morons who support him.

Sorry Sarah... Whenever I'm thinking about a Trump related post I always think of your blood pressure - so not too many of them or too often.

I can *kind* of get my head around why people voted for him. What I really struggle with is the fact that so many people still support him after his train wreck of a Whitehouse continues to produce clusterfuck after clusterfuck.

And I truly appreciate your help in trying to regulate my blood pressure. I am seeing red so often these days and it is not healthy. But I have never been more embarrassed to be from the US than in the last two years and that feeling grows with each new clusterfuck - perfect description. My consolation is the fact that Roger Stone was arrested today, and there are up to a dozen sealed indictments currently waiting (I believe, this number may not be accurate). I fear a Pence presidency if trump were removed from office, but I also think Pence knows about much of it, and would not survive the fall-out.

I truly do not understand the people who still support him, and honestly I do not even understand those who voted for him in the first place. He lies to his base constantly and they eat up every word and it is disgusting. He has whipped up this frenzy to distract from the investigation and I think that makes him more and more dangerous each day. BLECH!

Well, us bibliophiles need to look out for each other... right!

I think the whole thing in the US is a huge wake-up call that your political system is essentially broken. Of course it doesn't help that your culture is, certainly at the moment, so divisive. But ours, to be honest, isn't much better. Is this something new or have we always been this way? I can't help but think that it's not a coincidence that they way the world has become and the arrival of Social Media started at around the same time....

With so much mud in the Whitehouse I doubt very much if Mike Pence has managed not to get dirty - at least by association. I think he's trying very hard to keep his distance but he definitely knows where the bodies are buried. What do they call it with gang members...? Culpable...?

I am so looking forward to the books analyzing how it all happened and how it all went down when the whole thing collapses in the next few years. Although I'm much happier watching it with an ocean in between than having to live inside the madhouse. You have my sympathy. Be sure I will be cheering loudly when they arrest him live on CNN the day after he loses in 2020..
