This can't last very long. [View all]

If what we've seen so far is an example of a second Trump administration, and we know that it is exactly that, people are going to get frustrated in a hurry.. We're already seeing the results of his inability to communicate and make decisions as his dementia and senility just get worse. Public pressure not only terrifies him, it makes him more stupid than he already is.

He won this election on the margins, razor thin as the pollsters kept saying it was. If this keeps up, he'll be at 35% job approval by the time the inauguration rolls around, and I won't believe any poll numbers any news media puts out at this point. It will all be manufactured garbage.

Years ago, when I lived in South Texas, I saw a t-shirt that a guy was wearing that said, "Lord, please let there be one more oil boom and I promise to save some money this time."

"Lord, let the Democrats have just one more shot at controlling the White House and Congress at the same time and we promise to take steps to preserve Democracy this time."
