Jester,

It's spooky when I can't tell what Trump actually said and what's a spoof of it. Or if the landblokes 11/10 spread on impeachment is joking or not. I have thought about the possible impeachment (there will probably be plenty of 'grounds' one can use.) But the Republican party would need to act unformly to kick out a President who is nominally one of their own. Individual actions would just get the individual scortched in response. And most of the Republicans seem to be sucking up to him since the elections, given how much power and favors he has to hand out. And just ignoring the discrepencies between his words and actions - including that the 'plan' is not to have a plan. My dream is that once how awful his leadership is becomes stark and glaring, maybe the top Republicans get together a 'putch' to get rid of him. And even if (unlikely) so, imagine the riots of all the gun-toting nuts who voted for him, as Trump would fan the flames. So there's the problem, I can't see a realistic play-out of this awful situation that works, or doesn't cause irreparable harm.

I once said that TTWO, given that they had the best properties but corrupt management, was like a 5 year old in a gold mine with a stick of dynamite. It's probably truer to use that analogy with the political situation. Even if he *doesn't* get us into some global conflict with impulsive words or actions, I'm thinking of how much he can damage the country, its values, etc. He could really wreck what it's taken more than 2 centuries to build up. I think you were right, and I was naive about how many people would vote for this crazo. God help us.

Then again - IIRC he said he knew more than all the generals and he'd destroy ISIS shortly after he took office. There's the chance that one of them might wheel a 747 through the penthouse suite at Trump towers. Well, I can dream.
