Empire of Diminished Returns...

(via TYWKIWDBI)

It's curious (least to me) as to what catches the public's attention, particularly when it comes to one Donald J. Trump. Seems more and more people are finally starting to realize that there really is no there... there! And I find it especially curious since it was so blatantly obvious the moment this man first opened his mouth- particularly since I hardly consider myself the intellectual powerhouse. This was and has always been, a simple matter of common sense- all one had to do was listen... He laid it all out plain as day from the get-go, the inexcusably little there was. Lie, Excuse, Blame- Repeat... LOUDER! Let the hate, blame and book burning go far and wide- this was a blatant, all out calling to the least common denominator, the lowest of the low. The very epitome (and confirmation) of half a century of purposely dumbing down America!  And if the malformed, intellectually deficient, verbal histrionics weren't enough- the optics of an elderly man smirking, mocking and pantomiming his displeasure at enemies, both perceived and well earned, should have convinced anyone and everyone that the very thought of this overweight and overwrought Il Duce stunt double becoming POTUS should have been grounds for insanity for whoever foolish enough to consider it. I'm not even gonna get into the blatant racism that he doesn't even pretend to deny or disguise.

So, it's indeed interesting to finally hear the chorus of disbelief and objection suddenly rising! Hopefully, by this time next year- this particular nightmare will be over, and Donald J. Trump will have excused his way out of that dump of a White House after all the money, skulduggery and dirty dealings with Putin's Russia have been revealed and rendered irrefutable. And I'm gonna get good and drunk on that day, and revel in the street to my heart's content- cause next day I'm gonna have one helluva Pencian hangover! And all America (and its worldly backyard) can, once again breathe a little easier knowing full well that the usual bigoted, short sighted, profit before all else brand of Republican (sans the overt psychosis) is back in the saddle once again...
