People should be puking their guts up...

if they understand what is becoming undeniable about who Trump is, and what he has done. Every day forward, there is going to be more validation of what we have known forever.

While surfing the net today, I read many wing nut comments about the FBI being concerned enough to open an investigation on Trump's relationship to Russia after Comey was fired. Their general consensus seems to be that the FBI is corrupt and all that other bullshit.

But I digress. What I am wondering is this...during the early morning in the near future, Trump is going to be laying in his sweaty bed, and he is going to realize that there is no way out for him.

There are no plans. There are no procedures that are followed in this administration. There is no one left of any apparent substance that can lead, or that can stop Trump.

So who will stop him when he is laying in bed one morning, and he decides to press the button? Who?

I would have thought myself crazy awhile ago for asking this question. But now...not only do I realize that anything CAN happen, but I also realize that anything WILL happen.

1. So much responsibility in the hands of Mueller, FBI and ultimately Congress to stop him.

I agree the fear is paralyzing. I keep laughing at cartoons that are spot on in order not to freak out entirely.

We are on the edge of a cliff.

Can't go back.

And at this point, it's irrelevant how we got here.

Must keep steady, and hang on.

having been observing trump over the months and being clued in by Mattis and intel agencies, won't automatically honor his call to launch nukes.

They know he's nuts and have to have installed contingency plans.

Gone in any way imaginable. Just....gone.

Each day, for a few seconds or for many hours, I've seethed, been depressed, been utterly confounded as to how we got here.

Let...

That....

Asshole...

Be....

Removed, let him quit, let him be recalled to Russia - I don't care how.

Just...please - enough of this utter nightmare.
