Trump is insane.

The man is completely insane and detached from reality.

On MSNBC now, I am overwhelmed. I literally can’t catch my breath. Lie. Lie. Lie. About everything: the media, the children, Korea, Mueller......not one word of truth.

couldn't give a cold fuck about them. It's absolutely and unequivocally clear to me that they are mandating that all women who can bear children have them whether they want them or not, or whether their pregnancies were ever planned or wanted, or forced on them by rape regardless of age or circumstance. Then, it's just good luck kid(s)! Good luck girlies!

I am absolutely certain that they are intending for these forced pregnancies are to produce children they will sort; those in fortunate and affluent to wealthy instances will go on to elite lives; those who are poor or of color, and those with any disabilities will be used as menials and cannon fodder in the endless wars these Daddy Warbucks want to wage all over the world until the planet is raped to death and finally gasps its last breath. These assholes would make Hitler and Stalin blush with embarrassment.

the Trumpster gave Kim Jong Un his direct phone number. Has him on speed dial, no doubt. Along with Pooty. And what he wants is for the American people to stand up and pay attention to him as the North Koreans pay attention to Little Kim.

Oh boy!

Btw, President Obama lost (gave away) Crimea because Putin did not respect Obama once he crossed that redline in Syria.

Everybody got that???

We're watching/listening to history being rewritten in real time.

And think of the damage Bin Laden did to our country not just on Sept. 11 but all the nuttery thAt followed, and an illegal war in Iraq and thousands of Americans dead along with many many more Iraqi civilians.

I’m now referring to the post Trump period, whenever that may be, as “Reconstruction”.

So for simplicity’s sake, he just decided to go with the lies. He makes it all up as he goes along. His delusions have taken control of the situation and he just spews out whatever the voices in his head tell him to say. We are way past being in trouble with this Nutbag in charge.

It says EVERYTHING that the Repubs, who could end this charade, see and hear him going on like he does and they do nothing. Some even defend him. You could not write a novel with this plot line because no one would believe it.
