[quote=FlyerInHi]ZK, don’t you think that after no drama Obama, we’re living interesting times? All self induced.
It’s like Trump’s own life. He could have wisely invested his inheritance and become wealthier not doing much. He created all the drama for no tangible return but an eventful life, i suppose.[/quote]
I think he wanted his name in big, gold letters on top of a tall building, and he didn’t care who he had to cheat, lie to, or steal from to get it. Then that wasn’t enough, so he wanted his name on the most important door in the world, and he didn’t care who he had to cheat, lie to, or steal from to get it. Unfortunately for him, it’s harder to cheat, lie, and steal when the whole world is watching.
Gotta say, though, he’s giving it a run. The whole world is watching, and still he lies. Not politician-type lies. Mental illness (narcissist-in-denial and pathological liar)-type lies. So far, he’s kind of getting away with it. I mean, really, what consequences has he suffered as a result of his lies? He dismisses any news reports of his lies as fake news, and he dismisses any entertainer who mocks him as “overrated.” At least half the citizens know he’s constantly lying, but he doesn’t care about citizens. And congressional republicans, who have real power to create consequences for him, are a bunch of craven losers.
So far, the republicans are pretty much in lock step with trump, being the pathetic, cowardly fools that they are. I’m sure there’s discontented grumbling in republican back rooms right now. Probably a whole lot of it. I think that, unless trump changes his act soon, that discontent will increase. And I think there’s a decent possibility that, at some point, that discontent will reach a critical mass. That critical mass won’t be reached when the country is in danger. None of them give a damn about the country. This critical mass will be reached when (if) republicans calculate that, unless they get rid of trump, they’ll lose any shot at reelection. Then, en masse, they’ll turn on trump. They’ll have no trouble finding something to impeach him on, and that’s what they’ll do (if that critical mass is reached).
Be careful what you wish for, though, unless you’re uber-conservative. Mike Pence is on deck.
