I wish I was wrong about the many dire predictions I have made, but I am not.

I would pay to be wrong, believe me.

The only question is do we go nuclear in the war we will be in, everything else is clear such as total destruction of the economy, annihilation of civil rights and above all he will normalize white supremacy and encourage violence among citizens.

And he wont be disappointed, the citizenry will oblige to some extent. I fear for good people who dont own guns or are not violent, many of us like that out here who likely wont be able to rely on the police for help, maybe at first but it wont be long before either they side with the supremacists or there just isn't enough of them to deal with the ongoing violence.

I especially fear for all non white people and gay people.

In tRump land, he can stop time now. So as far as he's concerned, Tuesday's, Wednesday's or any other day will arrive when he damn well feels like it.

But always remember, in tRump land anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.... and in the most spectacular way possible!

Well no, he's never going to admit that his NET worth is way lower than he claims.

. . . that the Trump campaign was given the emails by the Russians initially. They were told they can't be traced, because hacking is hard to prove and they gave them to Wikileaks?

. . . maybe he knows that his people used the same Russian hackers, they just didn't know that Putin was involved.

. . . maybe he knows he has to come up with another story.

What other leader in history (during the 1900s) was said to be deranged due to syphilis?

(Hint: he spoke German)

Hard to believe that the political media's attention span has shortened so much that they can't remember anything from one week to the next. Increasingly, it seems they can't remember anything from one of Trump's tweets to the next. Whatever he spews out in his allotted 140 characters is deathless, as immutable as the laws of the Medes and the Persians. Until the next tweet.
