Again, I’m stunned in the breadth, the sheer number of outrages that made up this Administration. I lived through it as an adult; it’s not like I was unaware. But to hear the recitation, one furious, ridiculous event after another, in the context of history, is breathtaking. I realize once and for all that he-who-I-will-not-name was indeed no secret genius, not a three dimensional chess master. Just a pathetic, angry, mentally ill, racist conman.

He made a regular habit of taking the word of homicidal autocrats and psychopathic, serial liars over his own intelligence agencies. Further, he has no grasp of the intent of the US Constitution and only a passing familiarity with the truth, preferring “alternative facts,” as if that were anything but fiction. He seems unable to utter anything by untruths, hyperbole and self pitying blather.

How his ascendancy was allowed to happen is shocking; that it continues its impact is intolerable. Divider? Hell, yes. America has become a dysfunctional nation, thanks to his narcissistic legacy.
