We are sooooooo in the weeds with this monstrous clusterfuck. I swear only inertia might save us.

I'm just going to start calling it a "headless chicken government" because that's what we have now.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Federation starship USS Enterprise-D. This episode focuses on the ship's chief medical officer, Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden), who notices that her friends — and every trace of them — are vanishing around her.

She eventually is totally alone on the bridge of the ship with no idea why.

I've been saying this from the beginning.No one can work for s stupid, petulant toddler.

...the news takes over all the channels and says "Trump has been removed due to a mental break down by the Military....Pence will take over the White House per the Constitution and has full support of the military".

Next....

"Pence has declared martial law, any protests for support of Trump or against Pence will be terminated with extreme prejudice".

....that's when I think I'll grab my passport. Damn scary to entertain these thoughts...
