That tweet would be embarrassing coming from a high school sophomore.

Well, we _are_ his enemies. He’s a predator, we are his victims. It’s just that a large number of sheep were dumb enough to elect the wolves into power. And now they’ll get eaten.

They’re sheep who think they can become wolves if only the elite sheep weren’t so focused on laws and regulations to keep the whole flock (including all the other dumb sheep who don’t want to or aren’t blessed with the raw talent and guts to become wolves) from being eaten.

What makes you think she’ll follow through?  
I doubt she has the slightest idea of where to start.

Trump’s not being held to his promises(quite the opposite), why should she?

It might lead to the sophomore & his parents being called in for counseling. With the parents being advised to check their little darling’s room for weapons or explosives.

But Trump’s a “grownup”–so we’re about to give him nukes. And he’s already said he wants more…

I think the best scenario re: Giant Orange Anusface Douchebag is that he gets the republican congress to turn on him, and gridlock ensues until his stupid ass gets kicked to the curb. One can hope.

At least we’re not “deplorable”. That would call for butt-hurt and T-shirts and Facebook posts.

Shame the American people can’t follow in the footsteps of his “university” attendees and sue him for fraud. Or throw him in jail for conspiring with the Russians to overthrow a fair election, or hell, maybe the IRS could “Al Capone” his ass before the Inauguration. There has to be something.

That would be overestimating Trump’s mental age by at least eiht years.

Trump will give plenty of justification for impeachment; it is just a question of whether the Republican-dominated Congress will have sufficient public pressure to follow through. But even if the Congress does vote for impeachment and vote for removal, that still leaves Mike Pence, who is way too smart to offer any pretext for impeachment even if the Republican leadership wouldn’t ardently support him. So…there’s that.

I saw a suggestion that Obama should hide all the launch codes in a science book where no one from the incoming administration could ever find them.

We’re _already_ getting all the bad parts of a Pence presidency, given that Trump seems to have no interest in actually governing and is more than happy to delegate policy to Pence. I would definitely prefer a Pence presidency with Pence officially in charge to a de facto Pence presidency with an impulsive, corrupt fool with an anger management problem nominally in charge.

Or a text on history. Or diplomacy. Or, frankly, and book besides the Bible. We’ve had presidential administrations with poor advisors before, but to my knowledge none so avowedly ignorant.

Be careful what you wish for; you just may get it. Trump is already balking against obligations of office, and the GOP leadership is already seeing that they’re going to be in conflict with Trump over some of his more extreme Cabinet selections. Trump’s manner “dealing” with people he seeks to do “business” with isn’t going to go over much better with Congress than it has with foreign leaders. Ten euros on Angela Merkel to take down Trump with an armbar within fifty seconds of their first meeting.

I think I agree with this. Pence might get us into a war on purpose, but if Pence and the Republicans want that war, Trump isn’t going to stand in their way. But Pence isn’t going to start a war by accident like Trump might.

Nah, the Bible’s safe too . . . just stick to the pages where Jesus says reasonable things and avoid the Old Testament and any book written by Paul!
