I wasn't pissed off when this pic was shot but I am now.
Since the morning of November 9 two years ago, we have been living in a "You Couldn't Write This!" world. Almost everyone I know is of the same mind and numerous TV pundits have been heard to speak that phrase or a variation thereof on air.
From those early days of this slow-motion train wreck until yesterday (29 November 2018) when Michael Cohen, the ''weak and not very smart'' former fixer for HeWhoWillNotBeNamed, spilled a truckload of beans, the You Couldn't Write This-ness level has been rising steadily.
First there was the exaggerated crowd size followed by the bizarre speech at the CIA. You Couldn't Write This!
These atrocities were followed by the appointment of the most incompetent and counter-qualified cabinet in history. Scott Pruitt heading the EPA?! You Couldn't Write This!
Sharing classified information with the Russian Ambassador in the oval office?! You Couldn't Write This!
Over the last two years each week there would be a YCWT! incident. Even if I could remember them all it wouldn't be necessary because you were here for the show. How many times in the last two years have you shouted "You Couldn't Write This!"?
These YCWT! events have been increasingly outrageous. The level of incredulity has risen beyond any imaginable breaking point and yet the Would-Be-Emperor's lack of new clothes has remained invisible to the Republicans in both houses of Congress not to mention a shockingly large portion of Republicans at large.
We sane folks all talk about the YCWT! aspects of HeWhoWillNotBeNamed's behavior but not many people are talking about the unAmerican behavior of Mitch The Turtle and his minions in Congress. It is obvious to anyone who is smarter than Louie Gohmert (which is most of us) that we have a mad criminal in the oval office. He is dismantling our government, degrading our standing in the world, poisoning our environment and selling off our wilderness to fossil fuel companies. And yet the so-called "leaders" in Congress kowtow to him as if he has their granddaughters locked in the Rump tower basement.
Another bizarre aspect of these YCWT! events is the fact that so many of the people we used to either dislike or actually scorn have become quasi heroes in this bizarre tragicomedy.
And one of the (formerly) worst people we used to scorn, the aforementioned Mr. Cohen, is going to be the man who finally brings this monster down.
The scary thing is that for an as yet unknown period of weeks or months we still have a deeply fearful, sociopathic and only-smart-in-the-con-game narcissistic lunatic at the wheel of our Ship of State, the nuclear codes clutched in his tiny hands.
Hold on to your hats!
