The coming preening in chief...

we all know that the orange jerk will make some sort of speech soon after his swearing in.

and it will before congress.

the man is many things but mostly he is a massive ego maniac.

and what do ego maniacs love most? attention.

so when he makes that first speech, he will get all sorts of applause from the right wing repukes.

the orange jerk will feed off of that. he will gorge himself on the attention. he will be the gutton of attention.

his already massive ego will go into overdrive. and it will be a horror to witness.

and frankly, while I believe he will be phoning in the presidency and his crazy daughter and equally crazy (if not more so) son-in-law will actually be running the show, the orange jerk will be, at some point, start referring to himself in the third person.

this is going to be one hell of a ride.

Heads-of-State into rash action. (I don't think he's got the concentration to initiate rash action himself.)

Why can't these people accept that Trump won fair and square and move on with their lives. But Noooo.

They cling to stuff like voter-suppression, or Comey's She's-a-criminal-no-wait-she-isn't letter, or they accuse Russia of of meddling in the election by hacking the DNC...

Or how the Electoral College is supposedly undemocratic because it doesn't reflect the will of the people, or how 50 of Trump's 304 electors voted illegally...

Let's forget about this.

Let's just move on.
