Wingnuts trying to spook us out of resisting/removing DRUMPF with "President PENCE"

Face it, the DRUMPF worldwide corruption is an invasive species, too COMPLICATED a scandal, not like Tricky Dick’s little burglary and his obvious FACIAL EVIL. Too complicated for the country to switch away from whatever reality show to follow the intricacies of.

This morning I woke up to hear (again) a breathless news reader saying, “There are MORE breaking stories overnight about (DRUMPF’s whatever).” And it’s like, ho hum, let’s wait for this evening for the NEXT thing( s) 'cause this one will be old news in a few minutes.

It’s been said many times before, JUST ONE of DRUMPF’s antics would have sunk every other scoundrel except him. But he is P. T. BARNUM reincarnated and weaponized. Because the U.S. is a nation of SUCKERS born every minute. All that’s needed is somebody to wave arms & start chanting, “USA USA USA!1” even if the clown standing on the box or escalator is committing treason at the time.

I still see the 20 foot table stacked with reams of paper, that supposedly were legal documents taking DRUMPF’s businesses out of his hands and putting them in control of his sons Uday and Qusay. Hah! So in the recent kerfuffle over son Uday’s own TREASON, a news reader said something about all the businesses being run by the spawn, BUT that DRUMPF is still in OVERALL CONTROL. I remember when LBJ’s working ONE little radio station out of the White House was supposed to be a big deal.

And those 20 feet of reams of paper were probably as blank as Joe McCARTHY’s bags of mail.

As for the wingnuts, it used to be called COLLABORATION in the Vichy days, what they're doing to continue to support DRUMPF for their reasons of spinelessness and cowardice and greed for power at all costs. The local radio talk show wingnut tried deterring resistance to DRUMPF with the “threat” that we will be getting PENCE if DRUMPF is evicted. OOooooo, *scary*!

We know FULL WELL that PENCE is a horrible Fundamentalist, WEAPONIZED Regressive. What will happen will be that the Repukes will be glad to be rid of DRUMPF’s turmoil and distractions and will unite behind PENCE and enact all the CRAP that they couldn’t get done because of DRUMPF’s distractions.

Comedian Marc MARON said he wakes up every morning with a pain in the gut to find out “what HE did overnight!” Well, DRUMPF can’t get over himself, doesn’t know that the SIMPLE answer is the “national tranquility” – not all of us with CONSTANT DREAD AND TURMOIL.

He doesn't even pretend to respect our Constitution, in less than 200 days he has shown himself to be the least qualified POTUS ever. Letting that psychopathic ignorant Putin puppet stay in office is not a choice we should even be talking about. He needs to become an example to deter others who would conspire with our adversaries to undermine our democracy.

My plan for this entire administration is called "next man up." Guess how it works? One Trump is deposed, then I'll worry about Pence. After that? Let's just see what happens. But for the duration of the Trump administration, I want it so hamstrung by bad news about their own actions that it's unable to do anything else.

I mean Cheney and W sucked, but in a totally political way. Trump can't do the basic functions of the office. In that regard, Pence is a huge step up.

As repulsive as Pence is, he at least understands how government functions (or is supposed to function). Trump blunders through protocols, customs, unwritten rules, law and the Constitution without hesitation and amazingly ignorant that they're even in place.

DRUMPF is uncontrolled DISTRUCTION. With PENCE we're fighting on fairly known ground of POLICY.

What is unconscionable at the stage where we are is that Repukes are still supporting and defending him.
