(40,209 posts)There is no leadership anywhere in sight. Trump turned the government into a Temp Agency.
The truth is much worse than we can imagine.

(34,136 posts)The GOP never wanted government to work but in the past they mostly left the bureaucrats that did the real work alone. This administration has been dismantling the entire structure and chasing off even the most essential and loyal government employees.
This is going to make it really hard on the next Democratic administration to rebuild. The people who knew how thing worked, the policies that were effective in the past, and the various procedures that allow government agencies to work together will mostly be gone. It will take at least two terms to begin putting things back together.

(36,461 posts)I have a group of friends who believe that it is inevitable that we will come back from this. I wish I had their optimism. Even if I do think it's a bit rose colored. I'm sick of the daily chaos & drama, but more I'm sickened by the damage done to our institutions. We are just half way through his term. When I think of the damage done the first two years, I can barely imagine 18 months from now.

(779 posts)For someone in government to see that Trump is more unhinged by the day, I think he needs to be taken out in a straight jacket.

(39,343 posts)Sorry for shouting but everyone is saying this is a horrific shit show meets rolling dumpster fire, yet no one who can will do anything to stop it.
Something terrible will happen on his watch and the blame will fall on repuke Congresscritters who when the shit hits the fan will bow out and join a lobbyist firm.
THEY CAN END THIS ANYTIME THEY WANT.

(901 posts)But the Kashoggi offing set the precedent that they can and will complete their coup by whatever means necessary.
And once they have seized our government, they will come for us.
