TRIGGER WARNING!!

The contents of the following post contain commentary or opinions which may offend some of my followers.

MJE is taking off her opera length white kid gloves and taking the proverbial bull by the balls and assert, without fear of contradiction that the establishment republican party is kaput, dead, defunct, expired. But even if it still has a faint heart beat, it is now even worse, entirely irrelevant.

So, to my snowflake republican followers, I love you, but your political train has left the station with a ca-razy conductor at the throttle. And there you are, left standing on the platform in your brooks brothers suit, clutching your ticket, stomping up and down and screaming “Wait, wait, that’s my train! I’ve been riding it since 1962 when I was president of the young rebulicans for nixon at yale! What the hell? And it’s on the wrong damn track!

I don’t have to tell you. You know exactly what’s wrong, but you hitched our collective caboose to that runaway train and now we all have to just hold on for dear life. If you voted for trump in 2016 because he surely could not be as looney, crooked, moronic, misogynistic, or racist as he sounded, that he would “grow” into the job, that he would have “the best people” working for him, that he’d “drain the swamp” but that even in a worst case scenario, congress and the courts would keep him on the straight and narrow. Sure, he could bling out the white house, allow his grifter family to suck on the taxpayer teat, and sign lots of meaningless papers with his big black sharpie, but he’d never be able to do too much damage. Sorry to tell you pal, but you were wrong, dead wrong.

He surfed into office on the back of a booming economy, so right out of the gate he pushed a multi-trillion dollar tax cut for the ultra-wealthy intended somewhat paradoxically to reduce the deficit (oh yeah, I forgot, and help the middle class.) This was predicated on a 3% annual growth rate which turned out to be one of the first instances of the trump administration’s magical thinking, well, after the inauguration crowd size.

Instead the government racked up the most devastating deficit in the history of the country. Our great-great-grandchildren will still be paying off just the interest. Frankly it would be cheaper to negotiate with china to see if we might become a territory if they would forgive the debt. But they have enough headaches now, why add another one?

And I haven’t even gotten to the trump putin thing. For us normal americans, it strikes us as odd that trump has such a hard on for that guy. He pisses off virtually every democratically elected government on the planet and turns america into an international pariah but at least he always has vlad the impaler for pillow talk. People say it’s because the ruskies have some dirt on him, but for chrissake, is there anything out there that is any uglier than what we already know? And if there is, we are so shell shocked by now that it probably won’t even phase us.

Seriously,  short of eating babies alive it would be just one more thing. And it’s not like he shows any shame for god’s sake. But whatever it is, it will come out eventually, at which point he’ll smile that creepy malevolent grin and say we were suckers and losers for believing him in the first place. And that will be the only true thing that ever came out of that foul mouth of his.
