My late night, about to go to bed thought - is trump just pushing every button he can

to have one over on - well, everybody? Is he that insane - and sheltered - that he thinks he is simply above it all and using the presidency for his own personal daily plaything? Or is he clearly aware that it is all going to come tumbling down on him and he is going to take the whole world with him>

It is becoming hard to formulate any excuse - any at all - for the endless tirade and spewing of idiocy and utter bullshit.

Or perhaps even sadder is the solid 35% or so who lap up the bullshit and call it delicious.

Bankruptcies and other failures he could always bullshit his way out of and convince himself that he was a "winner."

Not this time-- he can't hide and he really doesn't know what to do.

The parallel to the "Peter Principle".

Con Men don't know when to take their winnings and retire.

As I have said before, Trump, his family, all those associated, are doomed. Not that they will all be jailed, but radioactive, which in a market economy is the same as exile.

It seems that many of us haven't been sleeping well.

We are here for each other.

It seems like decades ago. Every day, every news cycle, it's another horror show. Please, just crack up, already. Get it over with so we can move on and have focused daily lives. Jeez...

Trumpy's been a complete waste of our national lives for over two years. It's gone and it will never come back. And it's been swallowed up by Trumpy.

Now, here's where the GOP can come into play. Even the GOPers in DC (if they haven't already picked up some extra cash from a Russian oligarch) have to eventually get the same perception I just expressed. It's human nature. Trumpy needs to go ALL of us can move on. He's getting to be a VERY tired joke. But since he's batshit crazy and he can do a lot of the worst of things to all of us, GOPers in DC are shitting in their pants. They can't offend him or they'll get verbally attacked. The trick is that Trumpy is still viewed with fear, even though he has a dwindling ability to hurt anyone. He markets the myth that he's powerful, is easily angered, and can destroy anyone who displeases him.

So the GOPers sit in his lap and he plays with them. Poor GOPers.

Mean, greedy, narcissistic psychopath just begins to describe "its" character (or lack of). No amount of physical suffering or seizures of his and his family's assets is sufficient punishment for the irreparable harm this vile "thing" has done, and will likely continue to do, to true patriotic citizens and our country.
