He's getting crazier by the hour

[Cyrano]

It seems that almost zero time passes before the orange creature does something wackier than he did moments before.

He's totally uncontrolled (except by Putin) and is going to do anything and everything he feels like doing on a whim.

The damage he's done to date will take many years to repair. But let's not forget his "Big Button." He can literally destroy the world.

If we make it to election day, the Republicans must pay heavily for allowing this insanity to continue unchecked. Hopefully, we will see a big enough blue wave to virtually destroy the Republican Party.

[MyOwnPeace]

1. TWO scary things about all of this...............

First, of course, he IS insane.

Second, the Pugs have done NOTHING to stop this insanity.

We MUST correct this come November.

GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!

4. Incidentally, I think that you indicate (but do not explicitly state)

That the republican's nature is to disclaim science and math, while they support all such things as religion, tea leaves, astrology, all forms of woo-woo... the list is endless consisting of made-up stuff, logic-free arguments, and all-in-all pretty stupid. Is it any wonder that they have done nothing nor will do nothing to top this insanity?

[Cyrano]

6. Assuming we survive Trump,

I truly believe that the Republican Party, as it exists today, is over. Done!

An opposition party is necessary in a democracy. And hopefully, whatever "moderate" people still exist somewhere in the Republican wilderness, will rebuild a new, sane, opposition party.

And, please, let whatever new party emerges, drop the Jeezuz, and "family values," and flag-waving crap.

[rock]

10. Yep

They need to drop the bulk of their crazy ideas or in other words their "values".

[GetRidOfThem]

39. "An opposition party is necessary in a democracy."...

I'd like to see the whole spectrum shift more to the left. Maybe a democratic and a green party?

[Corvo Bianco]

43. Wait the gop support astrology?

I thought that was for the hippies 😃

[TheBlackAdder]

8. I wonder who can call in a 5150? Can a private citizen, or does it require someone in government?

[Cyrano]

12. I'll bite. What's a 5150?

[jayschool2013]

14. Police Code: Crazy

Police code for crazy one on the loose. Danger to property, danger to others, and danger to themselves.

[jmowreader]

15. An involuntary psychiatric hold

You know you’re in trouble when your president is so insane he needs locked up for his own protection, like this one does.

[Boomerproud]

21. You meant to say "our protection", right?

Tragically, he's the one with the big button.

[jmowreader]

42. Nope. His.

A quick 25th Amendment Solution would protect us well. Nothing but a quart of Thorazine will protect him.

[TheBlackAdder]

25. A 5150 is a 3-day psych hold. A 5250 is a 14-day hold. Some states allow private citizens to report.

[dogknob]

38. Call the local police and ask for a "wellness check" on Mr. so-and-so over on Pennsylvania Ave.

He may be a danger to himself and others.

[AlexSFCA]

2. it depends if pentagon will actually follow his orders

they may refuse. it’s obvious trump is desperate for war cause he sees it politically advantageous.

[RKP5637]

3. Yep, each day, by the minute/second, his mental faculties deteriorate more and more. n/t

[FSogol]

5. He has about a week to pardon Manafort and fire Mueller, Sessions, Wray, and Rosenstein.

Not sure he's up to the task since even his tweets are becoming more deranged.

[erronis]

29. It's ok - he's not actually doing the twittering. His handlers and implants take care of it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. "The target is getting buggy," as Malcolm Nance would say.

He's panicking - and he's just throwing stuff against the wall, hoping something will stick. The Iran rant is classic wag-the-dog stuff, and I'm sure the Iranians know his spouting off is just an attempt to bait them. Trump's irrational flailing is aimed only at his "base," which is now a personality cult - but he doesn't seem to realize that the base is only about a third of the voters and not getting bigger.

[jayschool2013]

16. His base -- 88 percent of the GOP

That's how many approve of his "performance."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. But what percentage of voters identify as GOP?

As of last October, Gallup polling found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrats, 24% identified as Republicans, and 42% as independents. 88% of 24% is 21%, which is nothing to write home about and is about the same percentage as the dead-enders who still supported Nixon after Watergate.

[jayschool2013]

27. Thanks

Thanks for the perspective.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. "about the same percentage as the dead-enders who still supported Nixon after Watergate."

Like this guy that came right to mind and who can't get enough of scandalous administrations!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. That's not his base. That includes many "fellow travelers" who think he can deliver something soon

... like a wall (even if paid for by taxpayers).

... like a comprehensive health care program (dream on).

... like ultra CONservative judges (realistically a threat to the nation).

His base is smaller.

tRump is a tool; a tool being used by the RubleCon Party for power.

[kentuck]

9. And to think of the extent they went to impeach Bill Clinton...

Over a blue dress.

But they said it was about lying.

But it was about the blue dress....

[maddiemom]

17. Well...maybe Clinton DID lie about the Monica thing, which didn't impact the nation ONE BIT.

Trump, on the other hand, lies about EVERYTHING, AND has broken the emoluments clause on a daily basis. Republican hypocrisy is bringing the country down hard. I despise Mitch McConnell even more than Trump, I think.

[erronis]

30. There's lots of detestation to go around. Turtle, russkis, NRA, plutos, dumps.

I just hope we have a fair accounting after this horrible episode has been resolved. Of course, the accounting may be that all of us naysayers get a one-way ticket to some detention center.

[colsohlibgal]

11. Enough Aleady

The republicans are taking an enormous risk by keeping their wagon hitched to this lunatic.

I’d say he was disassembling but that supposes he was ever assembled.

[erronis]

31. And most of the repulicons left standing don't expect to have to answer to any real justice.

They're expecting the future to be in the bosom of Vlad and other caring RW/nazis.

[TalenaGor]

13. Lets show the world how its done!

[TryLogic]

40. I love your idea/attitude.

[NoMoreRepugs]

22. CIA, FBI, NSA and the Pentagon are country FIRST.

I honestly believe they are well aware that the the Orange Menace is detrimental to our future.

[Cyrano]

24. But what can they do? Congress has the power.

[NoMoreRepugs]

28. Information is key to ending this nightmare.

[BigmanPigman]

23. MSNBC has been saying this for two hours.

His increased tweets to make his base happy and to distract. Cohen tapes and Manafort are getting to what left of his twisted mind.

[Honeycombe8]

26. There's something wrong with him. He has moments & days of lucidity, then he loses it again....

gets confused, forgets things, gets more hostile, contradicts himself.

[erronis]

32. Time to go in for another brain transplant. Last model was pre-beta.

Russki's have perfected chess-playing robots but haven't quite gotten to the place where the uncanny valley works. Dump got a minor update in Helsinki but the pute needs to come to DC to do a major update. "UPDATES IN PROGRESS..... DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER"

[Honeycombe8]

33. Lol. nt

[Hekate]

35. Bugfck crazy

Gods help us

[Botany]

36. "He's getting crazier by the hour"

Yup.

Link to tweet

[Puzzler]

37. The GOP should never be forgiven, ever!

Basta! Enough!!!!

-Puzzler

[Renew Deal]

41. The long term damage with our "allies" and the world comes from the fact that the Republican Party

Has done nothing to reign him in. I think people can accept that he won the electoral college and even that the Russians stole the election. What people will not be able to accept is his high approval ratings with republicans and the lack of action from the Republican Party. This makes the US look unstable and untrustworthy.

[spanone]

44. something crazy like a war with Iran?
