DJT is stark raving mad. [View all]

I don't know if it's dementia, insanity, drug-induced or what, but he is not in his right mind. I make it a point to never look at or listen to him, but this morning while in the shower, I was listening to news radio and his announcement/speech about Venezuela came on. It was horrible. It sounded like he was reading from a prepared speech, but he could barely string two sentences together. He sounded like a five-year-old just learning to read. Actually, I wish he sounded that good. He paused several times during each sentence. I wouldn't say he sounded like a dying man, but he sure didn't sound like a sane, rational intelligent one (not that he ever has). He said they went into Caracas in the dead of night. It was dark. He also managed to slam Jimmy Carter (wtf?). Among other things.

During his two administrations, I have been disappointed, disgusted, saddened, angered, incredulous and in disbelief many times. This is the first time that I'm truly scared. What the hell is he leading us into? And who on God's green earth is going to be able to stop him?
