Not a peep from the Orange Menace about the raging wildfires in my fair state. At least the veep has had the decency to tweet about it, more than once.

^^ CA is not going to vote for him.
Trump is already on campaign mode for his reelection. I was traveling with a friend and ardent Trump supporter who was complaining that the Democrats are fighting against his re-election. So I asked him what has Trump done for his country?
His answer: The GOP is opposed to all of his initiatives.

Seemed like he is quoting from Fox or some other TV station since he does no do internet or newspapers.

Forget 'American fascism,' it's 'American kakistocracy' now!

A writer in the Atlantic says the word for what we've got is kakistocracy, meaning a 'system' in which the government is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.

Examples are scarce, but the guy who coined it was thinking of the low terrible point of the French Revolution. Read here: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...ocracy/542391/

[BThe full lyrics to Eminem's Trump-bashing freestyle 'The Storm'][/B]

The entire lyrics is printed at this site. I don't know what to make of it but expect a shit storm from the Nuthouse in DC.
Quote:
That's why he keeps screamin' 'Drain the swamp'
'Cause he's in quicksand
It's like we take a step forwards, then backwards
But this is his form of distraction
Plus, he gets an enormous reaction
When he attacks the NFL so we focus on that
Instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada
All these horrible tragedies and he's bored and would rather
Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers
Guess Eminem has the HP to get this make the rounds of social media and I welcome any attempt to disparage and needle the moron residing in the nuthouse.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon reportedly has told people he thinks President Donald Trump has just a 30% chance of completing his four-year term.

The detail came in an explosive report from Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman on Wednesday that cited several sources close to the president.

According to two of the sources, Bannon warned Trump several months ago about the possibility of getting removed from office via the 25th Amendment, prompting Trump to ask, "What's that?"
