Apparently anything that gets in the way of immediate profit is to verboten , no matter the future consequences. Almost every time I look at a news site my stomach does a flip-flop over some new piece of idiocy. Trump and his administration’s world view is totally incomprehensible to me. The best I can figure these people have absolute no social conscience and probably no conscience at all…sick, sick, sick.

What a strange pass we have come to in this country. I’m just a lay person in this field, and it has looked to me for a while that being in touch with reality is not one of effingham Trump’s traits.
From the article on http://www.independent.co.uk/us:
“Donald Trump has a “dangerous mental illness” and is not fit to lead the US, a group of psychiatrists has warned during a conference at Yale University.
Mental health experts claimed the President was “paranoid and delusional”, and said it was their “ethical responsibility” to warn the American public about the “dangers” Mr Trump’s psychological state poses to the country.”

It is amazing that one of our major newspapers would be writing an article like this and calling for demonstrations. What is even more amazing is that they are only speaking the truth.
“But if it is to do so, those who oppose the new president’s reckless and heartless agenda must make their voices heard. Protesters must raise their banners. Voters must turn out for elections. Members of Congress — including and especially Republicans — must find the political courage to stand up to Trump. Courts must safeguard the Constitution. State legislators must pass laws to protect their citizens and their policies from federal meddling. All of us who are in the business of holding leaders accountable must redouble our efforts to defend the truth from his cynical assaults.” from the editorial
I always hate saying this, but it is a short read. And it is worth your time.

Trump’s vision for America, as big as…well just let’s say his hands.

Going around the Internet currently in reference to Effingham Donald Trump
POTUS: President of the United States

I think I have a slightly better one:
SCROTUM: So Called Redeemer of the Unlettered Masses
We had a small gathering at our house the other night in celebration of Robin achieving another year around the sun. As sometimes happens the conversation turned to politics. At least in our circle, these conversations never last a long time as we are all in consensus in being appalled and distressed at the current state of the country and the country’s politics.
I made the comment that Trump had started me praying again, a funny thing for an agnostic to do. I do pray sometime, but I look at it as a way of focusing on what is upmost on my worry prone brain. I elaborated by explaining that I pray every day that Donald Trump Continue reading “How do we get Trump to IKEA?”

I thought there could never be an American President dumber than or worse than George W. Bush. Effingham Trump has proved me wrong.
From the article in The Atlantic How to Build an Autocracy:
“Those citizens who fantasize about defying tyranny from within fortified compounds have never understood how liberty is actually threatened in a modern bureaucratic state: not by diktat and violence, but by the slow, demoralizing process of corruption and deceit. And the way that liberty must be defended is not with amateur firearms, but with an unwearying insistence upon the honesty, integrity, and professionalism of American institutions and those who lead them. We are living through the most dangerous challenge to the free government of the United States that anyone alive has encountered. What happens next is up to you and me. Don’t be afraid. This moment of danger can also be your finest hour as a citizen and an American.”
We should all be very concerned. Part of me wants desperately to run and hide from this cluster fuck that is happening to us. We need to heed David Frum’s advice.
Rightly or wrongly voting for or supporting Trump has become a litmus test for me. In an attempt to articulate my arbitrary position I have come up with the following reasons:
In past elections I could at least see where there were some basic philosophical differences that would cause us to vote differently. That is how is should be, that is why we have elections. However, this election resulted in putting a thug in the White House. There was a stark difference in an America for the people versus an America for Trump’s ego. And if you are responsible for enabling that egomaniac, do not expect to see a Christmas card from me.
