I had a serious thought this morning

[PCIntern]

as I was sitting on the can.

After this idiot and his minions are finally removed/retired/exiled, whatever it takes, we need to erect a statue of P T Barnum next to the Statue of Liberty, of equal height, and inscribe his famous line, “There’s a sucker born every minute.”

Truer words never spoken. They eclipse the poetic sentiments on Lady Liberty and reflect the truth of the matter and thus, of Humanity. And the worst part, the WORST part is that it will happen again without doubt. You know how you know this? Because even liberals were suggesting celebrities including, but not limited to Oprah Winfrey for President. It’s all just so insane.

1. "And the worst part, the WORST part is that it will happen again without doubt."

Very scary thought.
It reminds me of the book "It Can't Happen Here" that was written in 1935, except it did happen here...(photo of actual book jacket)

2. Thanks for this. NT

[emmaverybo]

3. Wow. Guess this is why Sinclair Lewis deemed a genius, prescient one! Good find.

[3Hotdogs]

4. I suggest H.L. Mencken.

On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.


(O.K., he spelled moran wrong, but give him the statue anyway.)

[sop]

11. It's "moron"

[swimboy]

14. Yes, but

only after they “Get a brain”

5. People trusted Walter Cronkite and wanted him for president.

People trusted Walter Cronkite and wanted him for president.

He wisely rejected the idea.

He knew he was not qualified.

[pdsimdars]

6. So, you disagree with Michael Moore that he'll never leave.

[Iggo]

8. So...

[TommyCelt]

9. Will this trump leave quietly?

I don't suspect so, no. Whether he's impeached or voted out; he will cry foul, rally his loyalists. And America will fight its 2nd Civil War.

There's always cardiac arrest, but that's not something to count on.

[Texin]

15. Actually, "cardiac arrest" is about the only thing that can be counted on.

Everyone at some point goes into cardiac arrest. Now, in this case, it's just a matter of a very reliable cause.

12. Trump's most recent rantings at his Pennsylvania rally last Monday:

"We’re going to have a second [term], and then we’re going to have another one. We’ll drive them crazy. And maybe if we really like it a lot, and if things keep going like they are going, we’ll go and we’ll do what we have to do, and a three [terms] and a four, and a five.”

[Texin]

16. Oh, yes. He never plans to leave the WH alive. That's a definite plan.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

7. How about...

“See What Apathy Buys.”

[CDerekGo]

10. and I don't know about rest of DU

But this crap has happened more than once in my lifetime! and I'm only 58! Jeeezuz FUKN Crap! I sure as hell hope I don't live to see this happen again...and yes, I plan on living to 100 if anyone cares

[PCIntern]

13. Apparently so does Trump if not 200. Nt

[paleotn]

17. With exact replicas installed prominently....

in the capitals of every state that threw their electoral votes to the man child. In fact, I think much of the old south is up for a new round of reconstruction.

[Hugin]

19. It could be part of Infrastructure Week.

or Trump Accolades Day. (Formerly known as Independence Day.)

[Hugin]

18. First off, congratulations...

Awhile back, I suggested removing the Statue of Liberty due to it being at this point a broken (Hey, here we are using "broke" when talking about the Orange Rind Reich again.) promise and an attractive nuisance to those who are seeking asylum and a better life.

So, something needs to be done.
