The world is truly going nuts??   From Brian Stelter at  CNN:” Food for thought: Imagine if Obama had literally proclaimed himself “the chosen one” on the South Lawn. How would Fox be covering? What would Sean Hannity’s 9pm monologue look like? I’m still trying to get my head around all that…”   A lot of folks have been trying to. The consensus is that Trump is ‘way ‘way over his head and has fired everyone who could keep him from following his impulses.  The next year and a half is gong to be rocky.

So in one week, Our Fake President  tanks the stock market  600 points by threatening OUR companies to stop trading with China (like that’s going  to happen),  insults our NATO ally who points out that his oafish wish to buy Greenland is not supported by the residents there,  and berates the Chair of the  Fed,  HIS appointee,  for not cutting  interest rates as quickly and as far as His Highness would wish.

A tweet from Former Gov. @JerryBrown: “Rolling back the Endangered Species Act is profoundly unwise. Mr. President, we humans are part of the web of life and dependent on other species for our well-being. You’ve done dumb things, and now you’re doing something utterly dangerous — unforgivable!”
