If you get rid of Trump, think about who is next in line. I think it might actually make things worse because having control of the Congress, Supreme Court and the Presidency they will be able to dictate what ever they want to do and it will not be good for anybody who is not an upper class Christian conservative.
An absolute riot of a cartoon Steve. MOMN! The real snort is that anyone feels he’s fit to hold office. I wouldn’t trust him to pull weeds in my garden.
Whether we like it or, Trump is president and likely to be president for a while longer, anyway. So we are faced with a question: How do we manage when we have a president who is not only a con and a lair and a bully and a fool but also mentally unstable? Will the people around him keep him under control in a crisis?
Yep, that’s the one — but not if the Secret Service is doing its job. Nobody but Congress can lawfully restrain him (or he, himself, but that ain’t gonna happen).
Every law should be written as if it would be enforced by your worst enemy, because it might. Every institution should be set up with automatic limitations on power lest it be inclined to abuse its authority.
Add the risk of insanity to the reasons.
(I am reminded of Stephen King’s THE DEAD ZONE in which Johnny Smith realizes what will happen if Greg Stillson’s political aspirations are not countered. Johnny tries to use extreme measures to save the world but ultimately succeeds by simply exposing Stillson’s unfitness for office. Somehow, that didn’t work with President Trump, mostly because the alternative was Hillary Clinton. Enough people convinced themselves he couldn’t possibly be as bad as he seemed.)
Thanks, Steve Benson! Many of us needed to see this! Great job! Meanwhile, we are trying our best to keep going until we get a chance to turn the wheels to get this fool out of the White House by voting some more Democrats into office in 2018.
Hanniabal Lector was far more articulate, and sane. He was at least a literal cannibal, destroying people, Trump is a “figurative” cannibal who’s destroyed far more lives with his business deals, and he’s about to get MUCH WORSE for the citizens of the United States, and the world.

That’s what should happen to him. He’s really a very unbalanced psyche.
