My police officer friend, who hates Trump...

... says, and I quote:

"This administration won't end like you think. Trump would, and I mean would be ousted if the next election changes the house and Senate, resulting in impeachment and removal. But it won't come to that. I believe we will be in the middle of a nuclear war by spring-summer 2018.

Why? Two reasons, one to divert attention, two to end his obvious failure as a leader."

I hope he's wrong. I hope Trump becomes so unhinged/incapacitated that he can't work the codes. Or his generals stop him. Or he loses the football. Or any other possibility.

Because after all, we know he won't refrain from starting a nuclear war for the benefit of the world, the country, the planet, or even his family, since it's always 100% about him.

We’ve had anti North Korea propaganda blasted at us for 70 years.

Nuclear or not, people will be jumping up and down in glee for a war there, including most Democrats.

and basically said that they didn't deserve him. Trump will go the same way.

the past couple of days - he has also talked about a troop build-up that WILL come in the next few weeks/months. Don't put anything past these insane fuckers.

What will happen will happen.

Trump is currently not in a position to be impeached. He might be heading that way. It's the only way I see to stop something like this other than his orders being ignored.

We simply need to keep fighting. We need to fund those fighting with us to the best of our ability.

We have to work with what is in our control.

10. I don't know the lengths these fuckers will go to

But I'm pretty sure they won't go quietly. As much as it's a game for these assholes to ruin other people's lives, piss on the poor, and make life tougher for people who already have it plenty tough, it isn't a game anymore when the same treatment they mete out to others is turned back on them.

They will howl, dissemble, deny, deflect, even pee their pants or shit themselves to avoid being held accountable for their crimes. How much farther they will go is anyone's guess, which is why it's so dangerous that the dipwads in Congress are so determined to overlook the rampant criminality at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.

When the machinery of government is failing the people so badly, what is the duty of the citizens?

I’m not worried about the idiot punching in the numbers. They are changed everyday and shit for brains (brans?) has to memorize them. What’s the chance of that? Just in case he can’t remember the numbers he should give them to Sessions.
