Who is minding the store?

The latest Bannon vs. Trump Vesuvian blow up in this non compos mentis sad excuse for an administration is that the town -- Washington -- is deserted with the exception of  some crackpot right wingnut hate infused violent extremists. I worry about the safety and security of the nation. Who is minding the store? There is no one home, the leader is a mental case, many have quit, formally resigned or have been fired. The oval office is filled with vipers and paranoids whose ire is directed one against the other,  the State Department is depleted of persons with talent, enemies with strength are knocking at the global door and this country is in the cross-hairs of adversarial nations with nukes.  Add to the chaos is a winter bomb cyclone pummeling east coast millions.  Of course, in Trump's feeble uninquisitive near illiterate mind this is not related to global warming because it is cold!  He cannot cerebrally connect the difference between weather and climate change.  Power could go out and many could die from the cold which will be zero or below with wind.  What else could happen? Oh yes, did I mention San Francisco had an earthquake?

I have never seen a worse historical era in my life. This national insanity is worse than the Cuban Missile crisis, worse than Watergate, worse than the violence of the 1960's, maybe even worse than the dawn of WWII.  At the apex of discord there is a crackpot at the helm of the strongest nation on earth who is drunk with power he should not have and has not a clue how to use it but does know he has a "big button" nuclear biscuit on his desk with an itchy trigger finger just dying to see how it works. Has he ever seen films of Hiroshima or Nagasaki?  I doubt it.  Youtube could give him all the pictures he needs to know of just what a nuclear blast would mean.  Perhaps, he does not even know how to get to Youtube but he surely does know how to tweet.  The tweeter-in-chief, uses only 140 characters with lousy grammar, spelling errors galore, syntax of a five year old to convey a message that imperils the world.

This is what happens when the people place in high office incompetents who care about one thing they can derive from immense power ..... money!  That is what the Russia scandal is about -- money and the laundering of it with conflicts of interest all over the globe.   It is why Trump's administration is embroiled in Everest size scandals and imploding.  Those who have the most wealth in this nation find it is not enough for them.  They want it all.  They want all for them and nothing for anyone else. Elect them at your peril.

God help us!


NOT ANYMORE
