Do you think the orange menace will be around in 2020?

Look at the incredible damage he's caused in under 15 months. We're talking about a mindless destruction bot with no OFF button. Does anyone honestly believe this can continue for another three years?

I've been pondering this and I can see three outcomes:

(1) He'll launch a nuke at North Korea, Iran, San Francisco, or wherever, and we'll end up in Mad Maxville;

(2) American fascism will prevail, he'll attain a sorta' "Dear Leader" status for a while, and the Republicans will loot us into Mad Maxville;

(3) He'll disappear from the scene either through impeachment, or being dragged off stage in a straight jacket.

That "blue wave" might not help much. A Dem congress can impeach Trump, but it takes two thirds of the Senate (67 votes) to dump him. Does anyone really believe that could happen? What could a Dem controlled house do to restrain the orange beast?

Anyhow, that's my view. Kinda glum, but maybe it's just because today is a day that end's in y. Love to hear some upbeat thoughts that take us to happyville.

I'm preparing for the long haul. Democrats take back the house in 2020 and blocks as much legislation as possible, then defeat Trump in the 2020 election.
