When The Donald Goes Down…

When the Donald Goes Down I hope there’s some way to annual his entire administration and all of his appointments at the same time, because every single one has been a nail in the coffin of our republican democracy.

 

He has put foxes in hen houses, alligators in swamps, a sexual predator (who is probably also an alcoholic) on the highest court in the land, and criminals in charge of just about everything else.

 

There is NO WAY this Presidency shouldn’t be excised from the books (except as a cautionary tale)…

 

I’m just so disgusted and exhausted by it all… Aren’t you?

 

It’s going to take decades to get back to par, let alone get ahead, unless everything he has done–and every position he has filled–gets annulled.

 

Am I gloating? Not even a little bit. It’s tragic! I’m feeling devastated that it has come this far before the powers that be decided to do something about it… but it’s absolutely necessary.

 

Ignoring the Constitution and running roughshod over human rights like a megalomaniac, completely insane Mafia don is not my idea of a functional presidency or administration.  And he was doing the exact same thing before he became the Charlatan in Chief; it’s his signature modus operandi. Why the people who voted for him didn’t see it and refuse to vote for him is so far beyond my ken that I’m at a loss to explain it. I’m simply dumbfounded.

 

So now we get to watch to see who’s going to vote to impeach him on the GOP side. 35 GOP reps said they would if the vote were private.

 

EXCUSE ME?!  Do we have a bunch of quivering cowards on that side of the aisle, cowards so rattled that they’ll vote to keep him in office even though they believe him to be guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and a scourge to our nation and the world? Are they complicit in some way? Are they benefiting from the same schemes that he and his co-conspirators in the administration are up to their necks  in, or are they just working feverishly behind the headlines to screw us before we start watching what they’re doing again?

 

Nothing would surprise me. Nothing. I mean NOTHING!

 

The Donald has shown no inclination to do anything aboveboard, ever. He lies, he cheats subcontractors, he doesn’t pay his rally bills, he treats everyone like crap unless they’ve pledged their loyalty to him (and even then they aren’t safe…he’ll throw them under the bus before he’ll give it all up…and therein lie the seeds of his eventual destruction. HE BELIEVES HE’S RIGHT, THAT EVERYTHING HE THINKS, DOES AND SAYS IS JUST FINE.)

 

He believes the rules don’t apply to him because he has successfully flaunted them for so long. Rules only apply to we lesser mortals and to his “enemies”, perceived and actual.  Anyone who disagrees or criticizes him is, of course, an enemy to his warped way of thinking.

 

And the people who are cowering and behaving surely must loathe him in the same way a slave loathes a cruel master: they don’t love him, they’re just scared to death he’ll “get even” if they don’t keep towing the line and yes sir-ring him. And they’re right to worry, because he will. He has the means and the connections and zero scruples.

 

The Donald isn’t immoral; he’s amoral. He has no sense of what’s normal (moral or ethical) because he isn’t normal (moral or ethical). He’s a textbook case of malignant narcissism… and probably more. (“Sociopath” leaps to mind.)

 

It’s just tragic. He and Caligula (after Caligula went insane) are soul brothers. (Excerpt from Wikipedia: “There are few surviving sources about the reign of Caligula, although he is described as a noble and moderate emperor during the first six months of his rule. After this, the sources focus upon his cruelty, sadism, extravagance, and sexual perversion, presenting him as an insane tyrant….During his brief reign (as emperor), Caligula worked to increase the unconstrained personal power of his position, as opposed to countervailing powers within the principate. He directed much of his attention to ambitious construction projects and luxurious dwellings for himself.”)

 

It’s a sad state of affairs. I wish it had never happened. But it has and we need to stop it while we still can…
