First, Respect and New Odds
Incredible, the Idiot-in-Chief is still in Office and has the undying support of his original 35% lunatic fringe voters. That is incredible. First casualty: My Trump
Impeachment Clock 20170503 – set back to fifteen minutes to midnight (11:45 pm).
Unfortunately, he’s not going anywhere, anytime soon…
My New Odds:
Trump blows up the Planet before he is forcibly removed from Office: 1 in 10
Trump still in office at Day 200: 1 in 4
Trump still in office in time for the 2018 Republican Blood Bath Elections: 1 in 10
Trump serves his entire four year term: 1 in 100
Trump is re-elected in 2020: 1 in 1000
Quick Summary:
A
mostly failed first 100 days, but Trump’s lunatic supporters are inexplicably
holding tight. Still he cannot govern the Nation with a dedicated minority of
supporters beyond all reason. With a Republican Party shamelessly drunk with
power, and a gutless Democratic Party afraid to start to take Trump down on their own, there’s no prospect of his
removal from office any time soon…
The Latest Gallup Tracking
poll:
Robert Reich's six signs of willful ignorance:
My friend, James Barrett, posted a picture of Trump on FB last week. Apparently I can't post it here, but imagine a hateful photo of Trump at a rally [one of 10s of thousands] and see my comments…

Andrew Schettino Imagine
what his psychic world must be like--a living hell with winners and losers,
killers and victims. He must know that it is obvious that he is a LOSER and
helpless VICTIM--raised by an insane father and a mother he never mentions...
obsessed with winning and killing...
The Media Consensus
The Media Consensus Take on
Trump’s first 100 days: An unqualified failure. The sub-context:
Trump is a delusional lying piece of shit.
Here’s a sampling:
NPR: Five Debaters. Four Debates.
Trump's First 100 Days
Climate Change: F [three votes]. Coal: F [two votes]; D [one
vote]. Health Care: F [three votes]; D [1 vote]. Opioids: A [one vote]. Space:
Incomplete [one vote]; Pass (as in Pass/Fail) [several with qualification]. Endangered
species: Incomplete [two votes]. Women's health: F [two votes]. Oil: D [one
vote].
Daddy’s Contribution to The Donald’s
Personality
What a Prince of a guy. You gotta be pretty damn EVIL to tell your mentally disturbed son he's a Killa and a Winna, when you know he's just a little piece of SHIT, like his daddy...
My Take on this Mess, and a Really Awesome Personal Rant Audio Link
Unlike Trump—who, did I mention, is seriously mentally
disturbed—I do
not claim to be
The
Messenger, delivering
The Message. I am, however a
messenger—with a profound, reason-based Faith in Secular Humanism, Cosmic
Consciousness and Cosmic Evolution [see update at end of
Another Time and Place, link below]—and I do have a message. It is a
message
The Universe has been consistently
delivering to our humble hominid species for about two-hundred millennia,
through greater and lesser prophets, beginning with our Hunter and Gatherer
pagan ancestors painting on Cave Walls, with their reverence for the Natural
World and understanding of their being an undifferentiated part of it. [See
Another Time and Place.]
There is a growing chorus of thoughtful discourse that
asserts that Donald Trump must and will be removed from office. [See
HOW
TRUMP COULD GET FIRED for a particularly well written piece in
The New Yorker. But if, like me, you’re
sick of: (1) my efforts; (2) those of my gutless Democrats and a handful of courageous
Republicans [see
Five
Republicans who could buck Trump in 2017]; (3) the main-stream
not
crazy National News Print, Radio, and TV media [ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN,
MSNBC, NPR,
The Washington Post, and
all other
respectable news organizations]; and (4) widely recognized and
vetted national and international Opinion Leaders [see
Fourth Estate], to
oppose the Trump Administration and Republican majority in Congress with
reasoned intellectual discourse—an obviously
ineffective
bullshit approach Trump
and his supporters are immune to, listen to
My
Trump @ 100 Days Rant audio [with apologies to my bi-sexual friends,
having missed the “B” of
LGBT in my Rant, and any other
demonized target presumed Out Group I did
not explicitly name].
Crazy Republicans and their
insane “leader” do
not have a monopoly on
The Flag, Patriotism, or
rage. I too can bring the
Rage…
