Nurse the Hate: See You At The Apocalypse!

I have said it before and I will say it again.,  In retrospect, it might have been a mistake to have elected a completely unqualified reality TV show star as president.  That argument of “I think we should have an amateur involved so we can shake it up” is not looking as strong now as it did during those fun TV speeches.  Well, that is unless your idea of “shaking it up” was World War III.  If so, it’s looking up for you!  While rationale human beings attempt to work out a complicated problem, Our Leader doesn’t have the interest or ability to understand the situation.  He thinks the move is to yell “No, I will kick YOUR ass!” via Twitter from his country club.  He is approaching the North Korea situation like a 15 year old would a rival from a competitive high school.

It’s time to look at the bright side.  If we are going to have a nuclear apocalypse, I think we should do it right.  I think the timing of this upcoming solar eclipse will be absolutely perfect.  Even deported Mayans would have to buy into the idea of the sun vanishing followed immediately by a blinding flash and everything being on fire.  It has all the makings of an outstanding Judgement Day complete with Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  I hope my entire Trump voting county will head on outside in their “Make America Great” hats and continue to tell me how awesome Trump is as the flesh of their children melt off their bones.  I feel confident that even as local families burst into flames, hopefully after watching millions of Koreans die live on Fox News, that their final words will be “Trump is still doing a great job!  Hillary would NEVER have done an apocalypse this well!”.  My final thoughts will be “God dammit, why won’t they ever admit they are wrong?” and then “Fuck, being on fire really sucks!”.    

Trump does not seem to do anything well with the exception of giving those Thousand Year Reich speeches to his base.  I watched the first 15 minutes of the last one in Youngstown.  He spent a great deal of time talking about how “they” keep treating “us” unfairly.  In case you are confused, “us” appears to be “white people”.  He also was very vocal about how unfair the media was to him to the roar of the Monster Truck looking crowd.  The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC (or everyone but the right wing agenda formatted Fox News) is not being fair for ostensibly revealing facts that make Trump look badly.  Trump tells lies.  The media fact checks.  Trump gets crazy because they reveal he is lying.  He goes crazy and lies some more.  Repeat.

Trump does not appear to know anything about anything.  It’s worse than anyone would have guessed.  He makes George W. look like Noam Chomsky.  Trump has no actual policies or plan.   He is the ultimate example of the Peter Principle in which someone rises to the level of his incompetence.  He is shockingly inept, acting strictly on misguided impulse.  He is winging it with all of our lives in his hands.  I feel like I am strapped into a school bus that is being driven by a drunk that just took three hits of PCP and is screaming at invisible bats flying at the windshield.  There is no escape unless either the soulless vampires of the GOP discover their civic duty and act to remove him, or the glacial wheels of the Russian investigation finally link the Russian money, meetings, and bizarre protectionist relationship to Trump.  Perhaps the only hope is that our soft orange blob of a president blows his back out on the golf course and has to remain sedated until 2020.  If not, enjoy some more “winning”.   See YOU at the apocalypse.
