Human history is littered with the ravages of tyrants obsessed with
their own delusional sense of self-importance. Could this be our epitaph?
Voters’ Remorse
With each passing day, the evidence mounts. The only questions left unanswered with less than a unanimous outcome are these: Is it possible to trust an incorrigible liar with the nuclear codes? Why hasn’t he acknowledged that an iceberg the size of Delaware has broken away from Antarctica and is now afloat? What sane person would suggest a cyber anti-hacking pact with Russia, the same source that all our intelligence agencies say is the source of the hacking? Why is he so desperate to make health care beyond the reach of the poor if not to enrich himself and his wealthy friends? Why would anyone film their top officials making a loyalty pledge to him rather than to the law and their country? When does self-delusion become megalomania? When is enough…enough?
A friend sent me this brilliant summary (source unknown):
Leave our President alone people. There's absolutely no evidence out there that Trump colluded with the Russians except for the Manafort thing, and the Flynn thing, and the Roger Stone thing, and the Cohen thing, and the Kushner thing, and the Carter Page thing, and the Jeff Sessions things, and the Wilbur Ross thing, and the JD Gordon thing, and the Erik Prince thing, and the James Comey firing thing, and the Russian hacking/Wikileaks thing, and the bro-love between TrumPutin thing, and the Russian propaganda machine favoring Trump thing, and the DJT "I have zero ties to Russia!" thing, and the Eric Trump "we get most of our financing from Russian banks thing", and the Donald Trump Jr. "Our portfolio is made up of a disproportionate amount of Russian money" thing, and the DJT "I sold a $60 million mansion to a Russian oligarch known for money laundering for $120 million that he never once lived in " thing, and the Trump business ties with Putin's favorite sports athlete Fedor Emilianenko thing, and the Trump International Corporation's mysterious private server connection to Alfa Bank, Russia's largest commercial bank thing, and the Special prosecutor being named thing, and the British Mi-6 spy dossier on Trump thing, and the I won't release my tax returns thing, and the Ivanka Trump's vacationing with Putin's girlfriend thing, and the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow thing, and the Trump companies business ties to Felix Sater, a criminal felon indicted for stock fraud scheme with the Russian mafia thing, and the FL Group Icelandic hedge fund with massive ties to Putin being heavily invested in Trump Soho thing, and the Rex Tillerson/Exxon ties to Russia thing, and the Russian ambassador at Trump Tower sneaking in and out thing, and the Trump tried to roll back Russian sanctions the minute he got elected thing. Other than that, you libtards got nothing!
It’s too late to assert that elections have consequences. Now the survival of the human race is at stake. How many more mistakes does it take before we are all victims of the biggest mistake ever made in the voting booths across America, the last refuge of free people acting in their combined self-interests?

In the recent National Geographic article, Why We Lie, it became obvious that we all lie as a social norm, but any kind of pathological or sociopathic lying is very dangerous and destructive. Researchers have also discovered that repetition of certain kinds of information tends to harden beliefs and attitudes like the Stockholm Effect and the kinds of tactics that cults use for mind control. So, if you don't read or learn independently, but rely on talking heads, friends and gossip, you may become hardened and immune to information like you have presented. Still backing your guy because he is rich and famous, like you'd like to be, and not because he is giving our country a bad name.
