Serious Question

Any one else feel like the president is taking his insanity to a new level?

Re: Serious Question

Worse? I figure it's only a matter of time until they're having this conversation in the White House:

"I'm not saying we won't get our hair mussed Mr. President, but I am saying that our studies indicate no more than 10 to 20 million killed! Tops! Depending on the breaks." -- Dr. Strangelove

He might be clinically more deranged since Mueller tipped the goods to the SDNY which just named him as an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal felony to violate the federal election laws.

But we're well down the rabbit hole and not in Kansas any more by this point no matter what. Things are starting to go significantly pear-shaped in Trumpistan and neither Trump nor his adoring fans are at all equipped to deal with it. We don't know what any of them will do. But, nothing good.

I honestly don't know that the Dr. Strangelove quote I cite above is really any more insane than what we've already endured.

President Merkin Muckly in that film was a LOT saner than Trump. He at least had the common sense to tell his subordinates: "Sit down General. I think we've heard more than enough from you."

Nobody can imagine Trump managing any sort of crisis. He's already totally unglued and ready for anything. He says' "then it will be war" if Democrats dare to investigate him. And he means it. There will be many investigations, and Trump will go more out of control over each one. If you think he's unhinged now, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

For him, having to leave the White House in shame is worse than death. He'd a lot rather die than be dragged out and hustled back onto a helicopter on his way into exile, like Richard Nixon.

I honestly don't know it isn't a bad thing that Congress will never convict him in any impeachment trial. He very well could consider blowing up the entire planet in a thermonuclear war a less bad scenario than being forcibly removed from office by his enemies.

He has his hands on the nuclear codes, and I don't see any safe way to pry them off. I suppose it's rather like trying to get a child away from a live hand-grenade in the middle of a crowd. If you just try and grab the child and startle him, he'll probably drop the grenade killing a lot of people including yourself. But, at the same time you can't just let the child wander about with a live grenade either, you have to get it away from him somehow.
It's a ticklish situation and I don't honestly know the solution.

Re: Serious Question

Hopefully just the inexorable progression through Dante's Inferno.

Very troubling that a deeply deranged egomaniac ignoramus is the prez of the US, but Trumper's psychological maladies and manifest deficiencies were quite apparent (even to a moron) by July 2016, yet the incompetent white electorate simply had to have him. They just don't give a shit anymore. Anything to Own The Libs.

Trumper's toadies & courtiers best remember Nuremberg and the demise of the "following [criminal] orders" defense....especially applicable to generals, Messrs Kelly and Mattis.

Re: Serious Question

I posted a link the other day of countries that don't extradite to the US. That's one option for his future plans.

Even his own arrogance is no longer an escape for him and his bizarre tweet the other day of if I wasn't so unpopular I'd be popular is telling that he is not capable of accepting reality.

I've heard that narcissists aren't capable of violence to themselves, they're not suicide risks but just like Betty Broderick showed us they're sure capable of violence against those close, and in Trump's case that probably means we're all in danger.

If Senate members turn on him in January he will make all of us pay. Everything that reaches his desk will be vetoed. He'll be uncontrollable. Govt shutdown...you name it, he will just stop functioning.

Re: Serious Question

A) People with mental health issues decompensate when subjected to stress.

B) Aberrant behavior can develop associated with progression of senile dementias - do not know if this is happening but it is a possibility.

Re: Serious Question

taking his insanity to a new level?

"Taking" implies a conscious act or strategy. I don't think there is any restraint on him, certainly not internal, and so long as the GOP ignores his mounting madness there will be no external constraint on him either. He will sink lower, and lower, and lower, till he's barking at the moon, and even then the corrupt GOP will do nothing.

In this context, the idea of a "new level" doesn't work. It suggests something upward. but he's in freefall, and there is no bottom.

Deranged post of someone with TDS and he lives in their mind 24/7 rent free.

The scenarios described seem exaggerated and implausible; but so has this entire Presidency from the very beginning.
I am concerned about my Grandchildren's world.

Well, trump gave you a cliche to support your denial, and it’s working very well.

It is the duty of every rational adult to study that around him to understand reality as best he can.

You just read several people whose idea of trump doesn’t agree with yours, right?

Read what they say—it won’t warp you—consider it, then decide what truth there is in it. You may decide there’s no truth at all in it, but recognize this: several people who appear to be more educated than those you usually read on this site find trump inferior and unreasonable; consider that and make your own decision. Be prepared to change your decision as you learn more.

That’s called growth and maturity.

They’re both good things to have.

I am a liberal with a heart. I truly don't want to see Trump rotting in prison. I'd much rather see him living in a one bedroom condo in Queens with Ikea furniture and living off his social security check, using Medicare for his doctors and visiting his kids on Riker's Island.

You are not a liberal, in fact you don't even know what it means, I am.

I’m glad you did not claim this post was comprised of journalists.

Frank T Loc: New York, NY

Really?
Please enlighten me on your political beliefs. I'd love to see what a real, "liberal" is

LWW Loc: Banana Republic of America

You claimed you already knew my beliefs.

Answer what they are, ad I asked, and I will attempt to educate you.

lib·er·al
/ˈlib(ə)rəl/
adjective

1. open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.

Wikipedia:
“Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty and equality. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support civil rights, democracy, secularism, gender equality, racial equality, internationalism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion.”

(Snip)

“In Europe and North America, the establishment of social liberalism (often called simply "liberalism" in the United States) became a key component in the expansion of the welfare state.”

(snip)

“The early waves of liberalism popularised economic individualism while expanding constitutional government and parliamentary authority. Liberals sought and established a constitutional order that prized important individual freedoms, such as freedom of speech and freedom of association; an independent judiciary and public trial by jury; and the abolition of aristocratic privileges. Later waves of modern liberal thought and struggle were strongly influenced by the need to expand civil rights. Liberals have advocated gender and racial equality in their drive to promote civil rights and a global civil rights movement in the 20th century achieved several objectives towards both goals.”

Well little Tard, this wins the prize for ignorant, nonsensical, lying posts. What a pile of dung. Your usual type of post.

Elaine2025 Loc: Seattle, Wa

"The duty of every rational adult"???? That lets you out. You really don't have both oars in the water little Tard.
