One must assume that President Trump has seen “The Wizard of Oz.” Everybody has, but Trump evidently has one scene in mind. The scene where Dorothy throws water on the witch, and she melts.

It’s bad enough to suspect that you are, in fact, a witch, even as you warn daily about hunting them. What witch wouldn’t? But it’s not just the bucket of water that Trump is wary of. It’s the reaction of the Winkies, the witch’s palace guards: “Hail to Dorothy, the wicked witch is dead!”

What else could he possibly be thinking, after Bob Woodward’s book “Fear,” and the anonymous op-ed in the New York Times by a senior administration official? And the amply reported fact that these things corroborate: that the people around Trump think he’s an out-of-control maniacwhom everybody is afraid of.

This is the fatal flaw hidden in the authoritarian model. It operates on fear of punishment, which is very effective until it isn’t. People will fall into line out of fear of consequences, but they don’t like it. And the longer it goes on, the less they like it. That is why ruthlessness tends to escalate over time in an autocracy, as the regime grows ever more brittle and hated.

When you first see the movie as a kid, you are startled by the Winkies’ reaction. But then you realize: but of course. No one really likes witches or wants to protect them. Only fear makes it happen.

This is what Trump knows on some level. It’s all or nothing for him. And the nonstop revelations of his weakness (another Trump obsession) and his vulnerabilities must look to him not so much like a bucket of cold water but as an approaching hurricane.

“Hillary would have been worse.”

This is abject nonsense, and if you’re saying it—you need to know how ridiculous you sound.

It’s a continuation of the same tired, misogynistic, bot-fueled, fake news fantasy-land, 2016 narrative, declaring that the orangething’s with his p*ssy-grabbing bravado, xenophobic tirades, blatant lies,
intellectual ignorance, verbal diarrhea, public bullying, multiple bankruptcies, multiple wives, and multiple affairs—is better.

I don’t know with certainty what would be happening right now in a Hillary Clinton-led America, and I personally would not have voted for her, but I can tell you without hesitation what wouldn’t be happening:

Millions of sick and poor Americans wouldn’t have spent the past 18 months fighting to not have their healthcare taken away and sabotaged by their Government.
Our environmental protections and national parks wouldn’t be quickly evaporating.
Thousands of kids wouldn’t be sleeping in cages, and there wouldn’t be ICE raids in hospitals rooms and church parking lots, and families of immigrants ripped apart without notice.
Christian extremists wouldn’t be legislating their prejudices around sex education, gender identity, science, and school prayer.
LGBTQ Americans wouldn’t be seeing their rights repealed and their voices not counted.
We wouldn’t be facing incessant rounds of Travel Bans designed to vilify people of color.
Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and Jeff Sessions wouldn’t have carte blanche to steamroll the will of the people.
Bigoted monsters like Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, and Stephen Miller wouldn’t have been allowed access to the White House or have had influence in our national trajectory.
Nuclear weapons wouldn’t be used in social media exchanges as penial substitutes.
Russia wouldn’t still be avoiding sanctions.

The only defense mechanism the clueless orangethingvoters have against that knowledge—is straining to believe our Government could somehow have been even more divisive; even more inept, even more racist, even more hostile to foreigners and the poor and the sick than it is now.

This of course, is an impossibility—and any rational minimally intellectually capable adults understand that.

Granted, maybe the recovery wouldn’t be as strong. Maybe.

Donald is on our side!

The combine "Uralasbest" produced an unusual batch of chrysotile: on the packaging of pallets with a mineral there is a stamp "Approved by Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States". In this unusual way, the workers of the combine's asbestos-processing plant thanked US President Donald Trump for his words in defense of chrysotile-asbestos.

He supported the head of the US Environmental Protection Agency Scott Pruitt, who stated that his agency would no longer deal with the negative effects that could potentially result from products containing asbestos. Donald Trump supported the specialist and called asbestos "100 percent safe after use."

"We came out with the initiative to support our chrysotile industry in this way and remind that our" mountain flax "is an important mineral for the whole world. The management has approved! ", They told in the factory.

GO WITH THE FLO

If you are near the coastline in North Carolina, South Carolina, or Virginia, keep in mind while Hurricane Florence is approaching that Donald Trump believes he did a bang-up job with Puerto Rico.

While meeting with the director of FEMA, Trump told reporters, “I think probably the hardest one we had by far was Puerto Rico because of the island nature, and I actually think it was one of the best jobs that’s ever been done with respect to what this is all about. He continued, saying that Puerto Rico’s power grid was in “very bad shape” and that the U.S. territory was in “bankruptcy” before Hurricanes Maria and Irma hit last year. “I think that Puerto Rico was an incredible, unsung success,” he said.

Keep in mind, Hurricane Maria led to the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans in Puerto Rico which would make it the second-deadliest hurricane in American history. This, for a president who refuses to believe in facts, qualifies as an “unsung success.” What else remains unsung in the Trump administration is Climate Change.

Don’t worry too much about the government not being ready this time, even though Trump won’t admit it wasn’t ready last time. Sure, Trump was surprised to learn the governor of Puerto Rico was not the president of what he later learned was an island, but he’s much more up to speed this time as he told reporters that this hurricane is “very big and wet.”

I feel better.

We also just learned that FEMA only gave 75 people funeral assistance, approving aid for just three percent of the 2,431 requests the agency received. Trump has called the situation in Puerto Rico not a “real catastrophe like Hurricane Katrina,” probably because that happened during another administration.

Another tidbit to keep in mind as Flo storms toward the Carolinas and Virginia is that FEMA just had $10 million diverted from its budget to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. What does ICE need the funds for? The official request stated it was for “higher priority detention and removal requirements.” That means baby jails. Diverting a huge chunk of FEMA’s budget at the start of hurricane season is a move made by people with the lack of compassion and empathy it takes to rip immigrant families apart.

While George W. Bush will be forever linked to Iraq and Katrina, Trump will have hurricanes and baby jails. His Democratic successor will have rebuilding everything Trump destroyed.

While evacuating to escape Hurricane Florence, you won’t be blamed if you’re tempted to keep evacuating until you’re out the country.

Democrats Threaten To Abandon Final Shred Of Sanity If Kavanaugh Confirmed

Democrats Threaten To Abandon Final Shred Of Sanity If Kavanaugh Confirmed

U.S.—Democrats across the nation have threatened that they will abandon their final remaining shred of sanity should the Republican-controlled Senate vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in the next few weeks.

From Democratic senators to lay voters, liberal-leaning citizens have promised they will begin their wacky antics in earnest should the inevitable confirmation occur.

“I know it seems like we’re already totally nuts,” said Senator Cory Booker. “But believe you me—you ain’t seen nothing yet. We’re talking rending our garments and smashing stuff, constantly comparing ourselves to tragic martyrs on film and television, even punching ourselves in the face. And we’ll do it around the clock.”

“I’m talking full-on insanity, people. I AM SPARTACUS! I AM MASTER CHIEF! I AM WILLIAM WALLAAAAAACE!!!” he added before aides were forced to restrain him. “Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!”

Run-of-the-mill Democrat voters across the country have joined their nearly unhinged leaders in vowing to destroy their last vestige of reasonable behavior if the judge is confirmed for a SCOTUS seat.

“I’m going to dress up as genitals, go out into the streets, and yell at passersby for no reason at all, every day,” said Santa Clarita progressive Dennis Anderson. “I’m warning you: the last shred of sanity I have will go up in flames should Kavanaugh be confirmed. It’s my scorched earth policy.”

The beginning of Democrats’ final plunge into eternal insanity is scheduled for the moment Kavanaugh is confirmed, when millions of Democrats will gather outside the Capitol building to scream at the sky.

No. when American citizens commit crimes they get thrown in jail and separated from their kids as well. how is that any different and what rights are being violated?
