Nothing against #plaidshirtguy, I mean ... whatever, dude. Good job, and all that.

But this whole presiduncy is just one big sad, sick fucking joke ... and it really needs to be over.

Like, so many yesterdays ago I can't even count at this point.

Need, urge, want for this National NIGHTMARE to end ASAP!
Most of all, I want it to end in way that doesn’t allow Trump to somehow sense he is finished & do what egomaniac control freaks do when they know the end is nigh...And do something so insane that in his mind makes him feel like he is still in control or he won!

Trump is extremely dangerous IMHO & will only get more dangerous the further he feels he is being backed into a corner!!

This is how far they go to eliminate anything or anybody that isn't scripted, they toss out someone who isn't acting out how he should be.

Trump's rallies are like birthday parties for his cult. He gives them a pinata to beat on and beat on and they faithfully comply just waiting for the goodies to fall from the pinata. The goodies never come out, Trump has given them to the rich, but his poor cultists feel so wonderful just beating that fake horse.

and, after the rally when the goodies never come, they blame Trump's villain of the day or week for it

That is exactly what is like. It's pathetic. You would think most people would be able to see through this charade by now.

were very carefully orchestrated, a lot of "Wag the dog" moments back then.
