How long can America run on auto-pilot before it crashes.

Trump has been winging it from day 1. There is a lack of leadership across the board, the turnover in his Whitehouse has been insane. Corrupt people are in charge of cabinet positions. Agencies, govt. departments are without leadership and yet things still seem to function.

Trump does not listen and he makes decisions in the moment. Can America function this way for years without anything going wrong? Is Trump the luckiest asshole who has ever lived?

My sense of reality is being tested, How about yours?

If we can hold on, if we can get out the vote...but the damage being done daily will be generations being undone. if it doesn't happen that way, the people will have to rise. I don't know if i will live to see that day or not but i know what is happening is not sustainable.

and yes to your question. i have a cartoon hanging in my cube at work, 2 people walking along, chatting. caption: "My need to stay informed is in conflict with my desire to stay sane." that's a paraphrase but it's very close.
