The next nine months: We need the inevitable national, foreign policy crisis to hit.

Trump has been president for three years and he has been one of the luckiest pieces of shit that has ever lived during that time. There have been presidents who did everything right, did nothing wrong and something spun out of control on them. Trump is so stupid, so incompetent and he has made so many incompetent decisions, yet, he has not had anything spin out of control on him. We need that luck to run out during the next nine months.

The Middle East is a place where things can spin out of control and ruin a presidency, that's one example.

The next nine months, we need everything, anything to spin out of control for that piece of shit sitting in our House.

Just need the stock market bubble to burst.

Unclear what it's going to take for that, but it feels like any day now?

Right now we are sitting ducks for any foreign adversary who wants to mess with us. Our State Department is almost nonexistent and the intelligence services have been hollowed out and nobody is minding the store. DHS was created to prevent another 9/11 but all of its resources are being used to lock up little kids and keep desperate refugees from crossing the Mexican border. The whole world knows we don't have a functioning government and the president is an idiot. But if there is another terrorist attack by some foreign force like ISIS, you can expect the rubes to rally 'round the flag and go into Trump-worship overdrive instead of placing the blame where it belongs.
