I never did acid but

[Freedomofspeech]

This must be what it feels like to be on a really bad trip. I am so paranoid about what is coming after this monster takes office.

[yuiyoshida]

1. I have done it...

a bad trip is no fun. But, at least you can come down from it, ...here its gonna be on a bad trip for four fucking years.

[Freedomofspeech]

2. Do you really think he will last that long?

[mnhtnbb]

3. I think he'll be gone before Dec 2017.

I think there is somewhat of a chance that Pence will be gone, too.

I am not looking forward to a Ryan regime any more than a Trump/Pence regime. It might, though, be more predictable, less crazy, but equally
fascist.

6. As much as I would like that to be so

I think he's too damn stubborn to actually walk away from the job. And I think Republicans are too damn sheep like to stand up to their own president.

[2naSalit]

11. I think that once he realizes that

he won't be pampered like he has been and the press is going to be unfavorable more often than not, he'll tire of the game and want to go home to Melanoma and that sickly looking son.

[yuiyoshida]

20. besides, I think he will find ways to try and

make himself richer, even if it takes looting the national treasury.

[Bucky]

23. That's EXACTLY what he's in it for. He's monetizing the office.

Thank you.The easiest quick buck is billions in budget deals to corporations, who'll reward him down the line, altho Trump is more of a get-the-cash-up-front kind of guy.

[yuiyoshida]

24. See?

Bucky knows!

[yuiyoshida]

7. Clinton was impeached but still remained President...

so I can't say, its more than likely unless he is physically removed from office, we're stuck with him for four years. Don't forget, the Republicans are in charge of everything right now. The Democrats have been pushed out of power.

[Fast Walker 52]

18. yep, I agree

[Rex]

4. Sorry, it is yes. This is NOT like Reagan or Bush or Daddy Bush.

This is going to be down the rabbit hole.

[Bucky]

5. it's not going to be an absolute apocalypse.

He's a big dumb turkey, but he's mostly good for distraction. His job is to distract all of us with his crazy tweets and his Hollywood Twitter feuds, while his cabinet secretaries run around looting the joint.

Our job is to keep redirecting attention away from the distractions and back towards the Looting. Any real problems won't come from Trump being a dictator. The real problems will come when there's an actual crisis to be handled, and they actually expect this idiot to lead.

He can't manage for dookie and the result will be a bunch of people needlessly dying. And then he'll turn to the professionals who handle such things, and we'll all kind of muddle through for the next four years.

It'll be bad, but civilization won't end

[flamingdem]

8. +1 what you said

[Freedomofspeech]

9. I hope you are right!

[Fast Walker 52]

17. I tend to agree... but this country is not going to look the same afterwards

they are going to massively fuck with our social safety net and other laws against discrimination.

[Doreen]

10. I remember always talking about the men

behind the black curtain, you know the ones with the actual money, the actual power that never are actually seen and the president no matter who he is really does not have much power when compared to the men behind the black curtain. What I fear is the cabinet Trump has picked are the the men behind the black curtain coming out in the open with more power than ever and will be getting richer than they have ever been. How is that for a bad acid trip?

[GReedDiamond]

12. I worked on an underground comic for Tim Leary...

...called "NeuroComics" (Last Gasp, 1979), so I met and hung out a bit with the good Dr. Tim.

Also had some interesting experiences w/hallucinogens.

So, what it feels like to me is: the brown acid cut with bath salts, on meth.

[longship]

15. "Legend of a Mind"

Your post needs this. From a 1970 live performance.

Love the Mollotron!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. The orange acid is no good!

To get back to the warning that I received. You may take it with however many grains of salt that you wish. That the orange acid that is circulating around us isn't too good. It is suggested that you stay away from that. Of course it's your own trip. So be my guest, but please be advised that there is a warning on that one, ok?

[eniwetok]

19. rule of thumb... blotter is fine but be wary of tabs n/t

[panader0]

16. I never had a bad trip.

A touch of anxiety perhaps...

[hatrack]

21. You might consider starting - it might make things look more logical for a while . . .

[skip fox]

22. I've had a few bad trips in the 60s, but the difference with this is you don't know

if it will ever be over.

In the middle of such a trip, time feels elongated, stretched to the horizon, the future painfully distant. But you always know in your heart "This, too, shall pass."

I can say that now, even weakly.
