What Damned Disaster, Catastrophe, Calamity Caused By Trump/GOP Will Wake Up This Nation?

When you review the daily news political and otherwise you feel like building a well stocked bunker deep in the middle of now where. The news is getting almost unwatchable.. The political news of Trump corruption, China 500 millions dollar bribery, GOP criminality at all levels, and more breaking bad news than you can handle coming at you like a flood.

Our national domain is like some of the fakery on "Mission Impossible" where you cannot tell what is real and what is not. The MSM gets more bazaar and unreal every day.

I try not to follow most of it but it is not avoidable. And if you are paying attention in your daily activities you can see the results of this mess anywhere you go. Homeless on freeway entrances begging for food, local news reports of some minority being trashed by the police, older workers working in many place who are int eh 70's maybe even 80's. Even some seniors on oxygen or in little personal scooter.

I realize I am having a bad week, but I have a sensitivity to the plight of others. I still see that same guy after 4 years on the same main thorough fare with one leg asking for help. Probably does not have the money to get a $10,000 prosthetic plus ongoing care needed to maintain it.

What has to happen to the country. Do we need to get nuked or something. Of course the Chrisianazies would be thrilled. Jesus will come.

This train wreck of a human being that is infesting 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue right now and his merry band of thieves, bigots and gargoyles dressed as officials are enough to make anyone of better than room temperature IQ go insane....yet the public at large is unmoved or oblivious to damn near all of it...

It really has me panicked about November as I see too much wide spread complacency already and an assumed "Blue Wave/Tsunami" that may not materialize at all if people do not get and stay motivated to end this calamity...

Think back to the 50's, 60's, 70's era. None the things we see or hear today were even imaginable.

I know what you mean, but think if President Obama had done ANYTHING Trump has already copped to so far...what's happening now would have played immensely differently just 24 months ago!

The entire GOP, ALL evangelicals and the Trumpers themselves are all hopeless hypocrites that are dooming this nation.

Whether of their own making or not.

For instance, Ebola is making a comeback. There is nobody in charge of pandemics at the state Department. Trump despised everything Obama in the last crisis, which turned out to be effective. We know what Trump thinks about African countries with his shithole remarks. And why did he say them? He does not want immigrants from there

So, an outbreak of Ebola would be beneficial to this administration in many ways: it would be a crisis that would distract from Russia and Stormy.. It would kill black people. He could use it as an excuse to ban flights and immigrants from those countries. It would prove to his base that America is great again because there is no Ebola here. Unlike that Black guy who let victims into the country.

Consider also the State Department. There are hundreds of vacancies in important diplomatic positions everywhere. Dedicated and experienced officials have been forced out or quit. This is actually what Trump wants. The results could be a catastrophic terrorist event. This is also something Trump wants, Bolton too

I am running on and could do so: Iran, North Korea, trade wars, relationships with EU.

THere is bound to be a chaos event of their own making
