Clear And Orange Danger



The mental leaps I need to take on a daily basis to try and fathom out wtf Trump and Brexiteers are doing to endanger our existence is exhausting.... We are in the gravest danger we have been in since WW2 and that is some scary shit after such a long period of relative stability in the West.

Why can nothing be done about this insane madman? Everyone knows he is a clear and present danger. We will all - Democrat and Republican - be taken down by him. Just remove him from office FFS! Even Pence would be better than this.

Clinton was impeached for playing with Lewinsky and a cigar, plus the oral thing between them, and that is the key "between them", no one else was harmed, there was not danger to to the USA, etc., a consensual act between two adults.

The orange buffoon is a constant threat to USA and World security, he has been caught giving secret information to Russians in the oval office, he has done so much to demand, not even an impeachment but an indictment, his children, the people around him, and nothing happens? WTF is going on? Why are people's hands so tied up? All the indictments around the buffoon, and he is still there?

Impeachment is not the answer, he needs to be indicted and put in jail, along with many republicans, his children, ans son-in-law.

psychological calisthenics to have to be on top of both nightmares at once, that would be draining indeed.

I agree with you about the gravest danger since WWII. Here, on the continent, we don't have the war-torn history and obvious physical reminders of what WWII was about and all that took place. To most over here it's more like a movie anymore. There aren't very many veterans or survivors left to tell about it. And if they do, who listens?

In a culture marching blindly onward in pursuit of comfort and wealth, we will only stop and notice that we have reached the edge of the cliff when we actually get there. Impeded further, in current times, by the screen that is in front of our faces distracting us from opportunities to notice alternate routes as we march along our path of doom.

I hate watching this happen but I have spent the better part of half a century trying to point these problems out and have paid a hefty price for it in the end, and only to see all the progress I did make defeated in the most heinous fashion. That's my world in retirement. I just thankful I was able to get in off the streets.

I sure hope that things will change in a good way real soon.

plus turning Americans against Americans, other nations and people of color. He burns bridges with Americas' allies, etc. Much of it is right from Hitler's playbook. I am still amazed his supporters can't see what is going on. The wealthy ones, well, they hope to enrich their fortunes and fuck everyone/anything else. The middle and poor supporters that fall for the bait trap ... so incredible. Just about everything he does worsens their lives and they say thank you. WTF!!! He uses them as tools and stooges, and they just can't seem to grasp what is going on, many of them blinded by racism and hatred, plus being information limited and loving it. ... often fed by Fox News, Alex Jones and the like.
