I usually believe in karma, but the orange gibbon and his spawn seem immune

I keep waiting for the universe to take its retribution. I do believe all his hatred and selfish behavior will come back to him. Though sometimes I wonder, he seems to be largely getting away with it

What is important is if you know someone who "dislikes" Donald Trump, be sure that he/she votes against Trump. Take that person to vote, encourage them, talk to them, over and over. This is to save our country. If enough of the "I dislike Trumpers" vote in November, Trump will lose.

Like everything with Trump, it will be huge. As each day passes, Trump keeps adding more to his karmic account and eventually he will reap all he has sown. Trump thrives on superlatives - the most, the biggest, the greatest - well he will experience the most spectacular payback 'the world as ever seen'. At least it should be great television! He'll love that.

quickly realized, obviously, no. If there were such a thing, though, wealth would obviously be the most effective karma repellent. Charm's another one, though, that's free to some.

...Stalin died in bed. But the memory of his evil poisoned the Soviet Union, until, under Gorbachev, it simply withered away, to coin a phrase. Mao, too, died in bed--and the same memories led to a generation of sane leaders in China, though that may be beginning to change. Hitler died in a bunker--but only after 50,000,000 people were dead because of him. So sometimes the price of karma is overwhelmingly high. We can only hope that this isn't the price we pay for Trump. But he has his finger on the button...

their malignant narcissism will be their downfall, and it will be sooner than later. Ghouliani will be the one to take them out. SDNY is yet to come.
