1. Matt Bai GETS it!

So if you believe, as I do, that Trump is unlikely to govern well in any event, you should be glad to see him fire Comey. You should hope he digs in, antagonizes Congress and law enforcement, tries to shut down the media, or whatever other kind of crazy compels him.

Because the more he flails at enemies and flexes the muscle of his office, the more Americans will seek shelter from the raining blows. And the further his approval ratings drop, the further members of his own party will run in the other direction, leaving Trump isolated and diminished.

And the sooner, perhaps, this particular nightmare will abate.

2. Do you rember mustard-gate? Or tan-suit-gate? Or not-properly-saluting-while-holding-a-cup-gate?

Yes. Those were considered real scandals that were worthy to be talked about.

What Donald Trump is doing is NOTHING compared to being an elitist who eats his Hamburger with Dijon-mustard.

His body is going to bail and trigger a major medical event

His mind seems to be losing its bearings.

4. Joey Ramone said it best:

"Danger Zone"

New York city is a real cool town
Society really brings me down
Our playground is a pharmacy
Kids find trouble so easily

Other countries are just as bad
The soviets really make me mad
On the boulevard where police hide
Let's steal a car for a joyride

They say you're just an awkward kid
You flipped your lid you flipped your lid
You love wine like they love cash
Feel your rage spread like a rash

You flipped your lid you flipped your lid
You flipped your lid you flipped your lid
They say you're just an awkward kid
You flipped your lid you flipped your lid

All alone in the danger zone
Danger zone danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
Danger zone danger zone

6. I thought Spike Jones captured it from the female point of view

If you listen to the whole song we are approaching the 2:05 point in real time today.

5. And let's not forget how this must feel from Trump's perspective:

You ride in, thinking this is an easy job where you're the boss, giving orders, and everybody else does as they are told.

Then you discover that you do not know what you need to know to do your job.

You discover that you're in fact not even the boss, just the head of a branch. Your co-workers hate you and start mobbing and sabotaging you.

You think you're some bigshot and bragging how you won the Electoral College will impress people so hard they will immediately accept you as their leader. Except that people somehow do not care that you are THE Donald Trump!

Every single day the press is badmouthing you.

Nothing you do and say is ever good enough.

Every single good thing happening to you is promptly ruined by other people.

Your job is slowly sucking life out of you. You only live for the weekends where you can go golfing and relax.

There is just so much to do and there's nobody you trust who can get this done.

Every single day at work feels like being stuck in quicksand. And you cannot quit your job, because that would mean that your enemies have won.

7. Exactly except his sub conscious is saying

You are not worthy
You are not good enough
Everyone is laughing at you

Time to pull the plug
