It's a science fiction story. We're in an alternate reality, a god damned What If story. We need someone to go back in time and change history.

EXCEPT IT ISN'T AND WE'RE ALL SCREWED.

I hope the Trump voters get crap-slammed hardest, that's all. Minimal comfort at best, but there's bound to be little comfort in the next two years anyhow.

How can they not be, Eric? Everything he's done so far is appoint the people that are the most against those very voters.

The Fox News network's casual relationship with the truth will soon be entering the White House.  Every day is a new horror.

Imagine nearly half the voting populace sitting down in the middle of the street, pouring gasoline over their heads and patiently waiting for Trump to come by with a lit match.  

This is how I see his supporters.

Let's not forget that a large percentage of Trump's support comes from people who want exactly what his cabinet promises to give them; the dismantling of the U.S. Government. Government in many parts of this country is a bad, bad, bad thing, remember. We don't want Government in our classrooms, telling our children that there is no Jesus and that we cannot pray to him at the start of every day. We don't want Government in our supermarket checkout lines, helping people hang on in a country when they should all just go back home. 

We want the schools to magically run themselves. God will provide. We don't want educational standards. We want good old American values. We want schools that will provide those and f*ck the rest of it. Do we know for a fact America can't survive without mathematics and science? Let's try out and find out! We don't know.

Huge swathes of Trump fans are loving every minute of this, cackling madly inside with every new wave of outrage Trump elicits from his critics. This is what they voted for. A man with a plan to take it all apart. Putting it back together? Who wants it back together? Jesus saves. The Lord will provide. God is with us in these hallowed and sacred times. 

Look at the man go! He's succeeding in spite of his opponents, his nasty, venal, mass-murderer Hillary supporting Libtarb opponents, who got their black, Muslim President destroying this nation for eight solid years, little good may it do them. Trump is kicking over all the applecarts! Hooray! Yay! Yippee! 

Wait, what do you mean the check didn't come in this month...? The bank did what with our interest rates? Sigh... The Lord is testing us. We must not weaken. Yay, Trump. Yay, Trump. Yay, Trump.

A fascist game show host holding ultimate power is a Phillip K. Dick character, but not a Phillip K. Dick plot. The actual plot we're trapped in is far weirder and more terrifying. We're gonna have to get used to taking seven tabs of LSD and playing with barbie dolls on Mars.

Sweet jeebus:

The Orange one says he doesn't need intel briefings because he's a "smart person."


Isn't deliberately failing to be informed is arguing the opposite?

Who needs intelligence briefings when you have Alex Jones and Breitbart?

I am truly hoping something, anything, is fast tracked to prevent him from taking office until we know for a fact what Russia did.

Maybe he just doesn't understand what they mean when they say they want to give him "some intelligence".

The ghostwriter of his autobiography "Art of the Deal" warned that Trump has a microsecond attention span. A daily briefing would be torturous for him.
