This is the Trump that America has been dreading since he came into office.

Last edited Tue Oct 15, 2019, 08:37 AM - Edit history (1)

Everyone knew that someday there would be a crisis and Donald Trump would not be ready or equipped to handle it. It would be a disaster. It is now upon us.

He is a threat to our national security. Do I need to hold your hand and talk more slowly? He...is...a...threat...to...our...national...security.

We have been lucky to have made it three years without a disaster like we now have in Syria. That is not to say that we have not had many other disasters that were not military in nature. Many of our alliances have been damaged or destroyed.

There was always the sinking feeling that something terrible could happen at any time. Hopefully, this is not the time.

(on edit)
I think these are times, that other countries may perceive us as weak or distracted, and try to take advantage of some situations, such as in Syria.

Some might argue that this impeachment investigation is causing the huge distraction? But, it is the huge distraction that is causing the impeachment investigation. We cannot ignore our laws and our Constitution. So long as our Constitution is secure, our people are secure.

Going to Renaissance Festivals, dressing up for events, conventions, doing commissions, keeps me focused on the important things. Looking forward for more travel abroad. The more positive I have in my life, the less crabby I am.

I am also confident that Democrats running for office will do just fine in ridding this country of everything Teump. They will restore order, clean up the mess of the McConnell-McCarthy period. Republicans have been on the wrong side of history for years.

I guess we'll just buy them all from ourselves again.

What can go wrong ?

When the 3:00am call comes in, Donald will already be awake.

But he will be too busy tweeting to answer the phone.
