There is nothing normal, decent, fair or likely even true about this impending "presidency"

Each day I look at various headlines, and read the various things brought here in LBN, editorials, and comments by those who can somehow watch any of this on TV.

All I see (not from people here, but in what they report) is attempts to make what he is doing tolerable, decent, or normal.

I don't know what the answer is - but I agree with Noam Chomsky and others who see this as an utter catastrophe unfolding right in front of our eyes.

I swear, all trump is doing is laughing his ass off, coming up with every conceivable unreal thing - and standing back in amazement when it gets swallowed and accepted.

I need to keep pinching myself to make sure that this isn't a nearly month old nightmare that somehow I will wake up from.

3. so what now???

5. Exactly. What now indeed? This feels like completely uncharted territory...

We are battling ignorance, gerrymandering, voting suppression, every -ism under the sun, and a mostly toothless, purchased media.

Sorry - got nothing at the moment.

4. You aren't going to wake up, so may as well stop pinching yourself. Democracy is about to die a

quick death. It is about over.

7. You have spoken the absolute truth, my dear NRaleighLiberal...

And unfortunately, I have no answers either.

We see this disaster unfolding before our unbelieving eyes.........and it just keeps on coming.
