In the middle of a war, the Secretary of Defense, whose previous experience was as a weekend anchor on Fox News, bans press corps photographers because they make him look gross. And the director of the FBI, who formerly raised funds for people who attempted the violent overthrow of the U.S. government, is bringing in UFC fighters to train agents.

I’m not a religious man but I am coming to the conclusion that God sent Donald Trump to bring the United States to its knees and make us humble. Or maybe God is just plain done with us and wants us gone. ♦︎


On second thought: That kind of talk, about God sending Trump and his cabinet of Ku Klux Klowns to destroy America, is despairing, and despair is not an outlook we can afford.

These buffoons are incompetent and doing serious damage. They must be removed from office and prosecuted to the maximum penalty allowable by law. ♦︎
