1. Trump, his aides and his cabinet are all power mad.

They show us every day by their actions and hubris........

[Buns_of_Fire]

2. ...and hubris, as we know, is almost always followed by Nemesis.

In ancient Greek religion, Nemesis ( /ˈnɛməsɪs/ ; Ancient Greek: Νέμεσις ), also called Rhamnousia or Rhamnusia ( "the goddess of Rhamnous" ), is the goddess who enacts retribution against those who succumb to hubris (arrogance before the gods). Another name is Adrasteia (or Adrestia), meaning "the inescapable".

3. True then, and true now

I'm just hoping the Furies (Eumenides) don't take us down as well

17. Thanks for the refresher on Nemesis, who....

works alongside Justice to pursue these Rethug criminals...........

The Greeks seemed to have a god for everything.........

15. Not to mention almost, if not, all of the frigging GOP ...

the Grand Old Cabal would be more like it.

4. He will go until he can't go no more. Really thinks he's the Chosen One. Can't, won't stop.

Doesn't bode well for anyone or anything, except Putin, Kim and other despots. Buckle up.

5. Hitler thought he was the "chosen one" as well....

that REALLY didn't end well, did it?

[Boomerproud]

8. He took millions of people with him.

11. but if he

keeps pissing off our military it won't end well for him.

13. I've been wondering why they are allowing this to go on.

The real patriots among the highest military officers (which does not mean ALL of the highest officers, since there are some who might love a dictatorship), aught to be jerking a knot in tRump.

14. When I feel down about our situation...

I like to remember Mussolini's final bow.

[NCLefty]

6. I don't see most of the country going along with this.

[Cosmocat]

7. Its far to close for comfort

About 40% of the country is fully behind it cause LIBERALS and far too much of it doesnt care.

9. Immense respect to Richard Engel.

Praying he’s wrong for once.

[CTyankee]

12. He's seen this type before. I think he is wise altho I wish, too, that he is wrong...

my gut tells me that Engel is right, tho...this will not end well...

10. Just look at what is happening in Hong Kong...

16. Fox News is very much a part of this.

My supposedly intelligent 84 year old Republican California cousin watches Fox religiously. We avoid talking politics as it would be pointless. I've got more children and grandchildren than she has. Hopefully we will outnumber her at the polls.

18. We had the advantage of a relatively sensible congress to help Nixon out the door.

Not so much with this GOP congress.
