One Year Into a Second Trump Term and This is Where We Are

No, I did not listen to the rambling, disjointed, incoherent, fumbling, bumbling, and frankly, boring to comatose press conference given by Trump to mark his first full year in office of his second term.  I can't stand to watch or listen to him, knowing that every word that comes out of his mouth has no connection to the real world, is not true, and is nothing more than another symptom of his narcissism and dysfunctional ego, mixed with a good measure of dementia.  

Donald Trump was, in his first term, one of the worst presidents in American history.  His term in office was predictably bad, the fact that he had trouble demonstrating competence working the drive in window at a McDonalds a precursor for the manner in which he handled the job as President.  This is a man who, honestly, could not pass an eighth grade constitution or history test.  And as far as his personal morality and character go, well, not everyone who has occupied the White House has had character that matches its exterior color, and Trump's womanizing, affairs, including the tryst he tried to cover up with a porn star, cheating in business, added to the recent rape convictions, seditious attack on the Capitol and what he may have done with Jeffrey Epstein are pretty bad compared to just about anyone else who has served as President.  

We knew we were getting this when the Republicans nominated him.  And Democrats, the ones who, when we had control of Congress would not break the senate filibuster to amend the judiciary act and pack the Supreme Court, which would have eliminated the possibility of a second Trump term, sort of botched the possibility to run someone who could have easily beaten him if they'd had two years and a full campaign to do it.  They knew what a second Trump term would bring. The way that was handled wasn't my mistake.  

All that has happened this past year has simply confirmed what was known prior to the election.  Trump is an incompetent boob, an imbecil, an incapable, inept con artist and grifter who is the single worst President in American history.  That is an undisputable fact.  It is also a problem that we must deal with before we lose the ability to recover what has been lost or destroyed.  The founding fathers apparently never envisioned partisan animosity and hatred so bad that overturning the principles of the nation, and its Constitution, would be worth it for one side to get its way and "win."  

There's a lot of rumbling among the protesters who have shown up in record numbers to send the message of just how unpopular this President is, about using the 25th Amendment. He's hitting poll numbers showing disapproval not seen before, but not necessarily so distressing to a party that no longer values the integrity or accuracy of the American ballot box.  They are willing to bring that down too, to keep this orange headed thug in office, rendering the Constitutional means of removing him from office moot. Well, good luck getting this cabinet, most of whom are crazier, more corrupt and immoral than he is, to give that a shot. 

The partisan divide in the United States has rendered impeachment and removal from office virtually impossible. I don't believe there is a politician in the United States in either party who would vote against their own party's interest, though  Democrats generally seem to be more aligned with Constitutional Democracy than the GOP has ever been.  It does not look like this constitutional means of removing a sitting President will work, either.  

I'm not opposed to giving either one a try, though I have serious doubts whether any Democratic party politician is willing to lead the public pressure charge that would be required.  I'm not going to apologize for thinking that the Democrats, as a party, are just not up to being the kind of opposition that those of us who are participating in peacful demonstrations or marches are looking for.  Point to an example of someone who would be willing to lead the charge, and take the force of massive protests right inside the Capitol, making enough Republicans feel the pressure to either get out of the way and resign, or participate in the President's removal from office.  

We can even get someone who is willing to keep putting this up in front of the media, and helping to fan the flames of resistance in order to use the energy of massive discontent to bring enough pressure to bear to make Republicans experience the political consequences of their abandonment of American idealism and patriotism.  

This cannot continue with any hope of America emerging from this nightmare with the ability to recover. It's the worst year of any Presidential term we've had in the history of this country.
