Sure, he's a creep. This is the guy who boasted of his immunity to grab random women "by the pussy." He talked about the lengths he would go to try to nail a married woman who had caught his eye. He laughingly spoke of perving out young pageant contestants in the changing rooms of his beauty contests.
Donald Trump is an utter deviant, a pervert and, quite possibly, a serial sex offender. He ought to be on an offenders list, not in the White House. Doesn't matter and he knows it.
It doesn't help that he's lazy and stupid. Again he knows that, to his base and a good many Americans not technically his devotees, it doesn't matter. He has the attention span of a fruit fly. Doesn't matter. He lacks self-discipline, patience and restraint. Doesn't matter. He's impulsive, vindictive, mean-spirited, egomaniacal well past the point of being emotionally and intellectually unhinged. He's mentally disturbed. Doesn't matter.
His family knows he's a degenerate. Doesn't matter. His Congressional caucus, House and Senate Republicans, know he's a total loose cannon. Doesn't matter.
As one week follows another he proves that the bar we thought could get no lower actually can. Trump's debasement of his presidency and the United States of America is seemingly bottomless.
This degenerate, as far as we know, still has access to the nuclear launch codes. To Congressional Republicans it seems even that doesn't matter.
If Trump was the pilot of a B-1 bomber full of B-61 nuclear bombs, he'd be quietly overpowered, dragged away, locked up. Trump would never be that pilot because those people have to undergo extensive psychological testing and analysis. He wouldn't make it to lunch on Day One of the screening process. Yet he's able to order those sane pilots and the missile silo crews and the submarine commanders to launch a nuclear mass extinction event because the mortal threat this deranged man baby presents to America and the world just doesn't matter.
Maybe in some corner office in Deep State America some group is planning to dispose of this threat to the security of the United States. Maybe they've already implemented measures to ensure the nuclear codes never fall into the hands of their lunatic in chief. Maybe.
Hopefully they gave him dummy codes.

ReplyDeleteCan you recall when Kissinger interceded to keep Nixon from getting his hands on the launch codes?
No. I don't think I ever knew that.
ReplyDeleteIt occurred while the impeachment process was begun in Congress. Nixon grew morbidly depressed and was hitting the bottle pretty hard. Kissinger worried he might do something rash, like a global, mass suicide. He arranged with the chiefs of staff to have Nixon isolated from the nation's nuclear arsenal.
