Are the worst days of the Trump presidency still ahead?

American troops probably won't take to the streets over the next few weeks to keep President Donald Trump in the White House — but not necessarily because Trump doesn't want them to. The New York Times over the weekend reported that the president had "asked about" deploying the military to impose martial law and re-do the presidential election — already fairly won by Joe Biden, the Democrat — to obtain a better result for Trump. The idea was rejected by some of his top aides, the Army wants no part of it, and Trump himself denied the discussion had occurred.

Still, the report raised the possibility that we still haven't seen the worst days of this presidency.

That would be unusual. Just one month remains before Biden's inauguration. This is the stage after the election when the outgoing executive is usually dreaming of vacation, book deals, and presidential libraries. But Trump is a different case. He continues to scheme fruitlessly to hold onto his job, no matter the cost to the country, and all the worst people have his ear.

Which means there is still plenty of time for this president to do more damage to the country.

My first prediction is post #4.

My second prediction is that Lindsay Graham will mistaken Trump's "Little Donnie" for a golf tee and injure the President-Reject. (this one is for levity)

But I don't think he's going to accoplish (a word that needs a caveat). Lets just say he probably won't do too much more damage. That being said, he'll sure try. The good thing is he doesn't understand the government, makes no effort to. He is soley focused on him self so not able to formulate a plan and execute it.

He'll be at his most dangerous now. Being Acting-President for 4 years was a stepping-stone to his ultimate goal: King Donald I.

Another thing that will be more dangerous than having trained, professional soldiers mingling with us will be to have Erik Prince's "little boy brigade" of virgins who spent their adolescence deploying G I Joe dolls in their personal foxholes.

They're angry, frustrated, racist white toddlers who can't get over the fact that they're a minority in sb many ways. They are also untrained and will shoot at anything that moves.

Our REAL soldiers may have to be called upon to squelch the Erik Prince- and Richard Spencer-led Tiki torch-bearing putzes.

Everyone stay low and take your pets inside. The Kremlin oddsmakers are getting busy about now.

That's what I get after Football Sunday.

I'm sure it was a shock to Mr. Sherman too. I'll fix that.
