I continue to wonder how one petulant child supported by a core of ignoramuses can do such damage

he is the child who didn't get the present he wanted so he burned down the house

he is unspeakable - he is the school classmate who was clearly stupid, impossible to tolerate, yet was followed by a core of even more stupid sycophants who got constantly beat up by him.

he is the person who is the loudest and most obnoxious at parties that we avoid like the plague....the family member at the dinner table who is a complete embarrassment every time he opens his mouth.

He is that person who has everything, earned nothing and is still utterly miserable...and makes everyone around him even more so.

HOW can something like this cretin elevate to the position he holds and how can he - one shitty person - do so much damage to so many for so long?

Most important - when will sanity be reestablished and he be brought under some kind of control, or marginalized? Far too many seem to think of this as some sort of twisted game that won't have perilous consequences.

It makes no sense...none at all!

give a you know what about religion. He fakes that to get their support. Going back to O's admin and W's too we'd get reports and photos of both families attending church from time to time.

We get no reports like that of trump and his wife.

Without the GOP base this president would be out by now. And the GOP base is controlled by rightwing billionaires through the media.

And she will still go into work even though she is not being paid (she get paid
back later and with interest too .... thanx Trump this stunt will cost us even more)
because her equipment in space is still transmitting data.

staying warm out there? we just had two mid 60s here in Raleigh. 8 inches of snow last week. I think my containers of greens under floating row cover are thriving, though!
