Every time I realize that Donald Trump is the President, I can't help but think....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

...this is just some really sick joke on humanity being played upon us all.

[spanone]

1. I. so. wish.

[niyad]

2. who in the multiverse hates us this much?

[lame54]

33. Even the twilight zone aliens...

With the cookbook wouldn't wish this on us

[FSogol]

3. I'm starting to believe the "living in a computer simulation" theory.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. While I'm an atheist, I can't help but wonder about the Seven Plagues.

Revelation Chapter 15, verse 7 describes these seven last plagues as “golden bowls full of the wrath of God” to be poured out upon the earth. Is this divine punishment? No reasonable way to explain the phenomenon of Trump.

[guillaumeb]

5. Combine the "golden bowls of wrath" with Trump's reported predeliction

for watching golden showers, and perhaps it all becomes clear.

[True Dough]

14. Is it possible "golden bowls" was misinterpreted?

It was really intended to be "KFC buckets full of the wrath of God"???

[Buns_of_Fire]

30. I'm thinking it really means "golden BOWELS"

(Insert appropriate parable here.)

I figure if Pat Robertson can interpret scripture for his own purposes, so can we.

[Sugar Smack]

28. It's really hard not to notice all the similarities.

I've felt that way this whole year, & I've never really studied the Bible.

[niyad]

6. just remember, HRC WON the popular vote, and should, by all rights, be 45. the scum

you mentioned is an illegal squatter in the people's house (which he calls "a real dump" )

[BlueMTexpat]

8. + a million or so! eom

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

16. Sorry to repeat a well worn phrase, but I frequently cannot help thinking,

Imagine if Obama had done this. In so many cases.

On this particular item, there is no question the RW media and their minions would have been apoplectic if Obama had called the White House a dump. FoxNoise would spend days on how he was a traitor who should be hung for it.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

[niyad]

25. remember how they freaked out with a pic of POTUS Obama with his feet on the desk?

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

31. I know, right! And let's not forget his virulently Anti-American

beige suit!

(Where's the laughing, crying, and yelling at the same time emoji?)

[Martin Eden]

7. I was appalled when he won the Republican primary, but also pleased ...

... because I knew it would guarantee a Democratic victory in November.

No effin way are enough American stupid enough for Donald Effing Trump to take the White House by hook, crook, or the Electoral College.

[sandensea]

9. That's basically how I saw each and every day of the Dubya regime

[Lucky Luciano]

10. W's incompetence is cute by comparison.

Though make no mistake - W was responsible for a lot of evil and ultra-violence.

[sandensea]

12. I agree.

When asked if I think Cheeto's the worst president we've had so far, I always say that Bush was worse - but only because it's so early in the Trump regime (Bush, after all, hadn't committed most of his treason yet in August 2001), and because Cheeto's just so damned inept at getting his agenda through.

Luckily for America!

[Mr.Bill]

11. If Hillary was president

the republicans in Congress would be impeaching her on a near daily basis, but unable to get the votes in the Senate to remove her from office.

Sound crazy? Remember they voted to repeal Obamacare over 50 times even though they knew it would not happen.

[lunamagica]

15. So you rather have trump? I believe Hillary would have made a great and effective president

[Mr.Bill]

18. Where did I say that? Actually I am offended that you would think that.

Of course she would make a great president.

[lunamagica]

19. That's what I took from you reply to the OP. How bad thngs would be if Hillary was POTUS

if i misread your post, I apologize

[Mr.Bill]

20. No problem, all good.

[lunamagica]

22. :)

[lark]

13. I'm sure Putin can barely contain his mirth and joy.

I bet even he's amazed how well his plan to subvert American democracy is working.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

29. Trump has certainly sidelined us as a major power

The rest of the world currently seems to be either laughing at us or ignoring us. It's a sad sick state of affairs. And to think that Republicans spent the last 8 years claiming that President Obama made us look "weak" and "apologetic" in the eyes of the rest of the world. Haven't really seen any Republicans going after Trump for what he's done to our image in the world in a mere 6-7 months........yet.

[lunamagica]

17. I still think this is a nightmare and I will wake up...the events we are currently witnessing are

too bizarre to be real...this can't be happening.

I want to wake up...I want to wake up...

[Caliman73]

21. It is the result of many many choices over the past 30+ years.

Choices by the government, the media, business people, voters, etc...

The election of Reagan over Carter. The failure of Iran-Contra to indict anyone but North. The roll back on anti-trust laws, the killing of the fairness doctrine. The election of 2000, the choice of Democrats not to go after Cheney and Bush, further consolidation of media, the choice of Democrats to stay home in 2010.

All of those things and more have lead us to Trump. It wasn't fate or the universe. It is the cumulative effects of thousands or millions of choices that brought us here.

[MonkeyC]

24. I think it was a big mistake to not go after the criminality of Bushco time.

The line keeps getting pushed further and further.

[HughBeaumont]

32. I believe not throwing the book at the Reagan Admin for Iran Contra . . . .

. . . . is what led us to not doing anything about 43.

If the Reagan admin got away with high treason, future Republicans could get away with war crimes or worse.

Bush and Cheney should have been sent to the Hague for knowingly allowing torture and starting a war based on proven cooked evidence.

[Phoenix61]

27. And very careful plotting and planning by

the Koch brothers and the Mercers.

[MonkeyC]

23. I was thinking about this and i do not know that I am really believing yet, he is really

our President. Surreal.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

26. It still seems surreal to me

I feel like Marty McFly realizing that he and Doc returned from the future to an alternate 1985.
