It's sad that the nation sinks further and further into quicksand as the Trump administration flounders between self inflicted misadventures and Tweets.  This is all true even if told with a sadden humor.

A repeal bill is a scam that proves the GOP doesn't care for their constituents.  Like Trump they are lying loud and often in an attempt to hang on to power.  This pure showboating is wasting time better spent on trying for open and honest government.  The GOP (or is that goop) should remember they can't fool all the people all the time. Trump's troops may even begin to see the futility of a leaderless party without a strategy or program.

Republican resistance to Trump's demands is beginning to crack his loyalist front.   In the historical long cycles of great powers they are never beaten.  They commit suicide by throwing away their power through lack of will and political fumbling.  Trump is the gun to the nation's head and sleeping pills for democracy.

A political party over time takes on the character of tribe and in time may actually become a cult subseptical to a Jim (James) Jones or a Hitler.  Trump's attempts to become cult leader are aided by disciples Mitch McConnell, Kris Kobach and Jeff Sessions.  Searching for his own cult Goebbels The Donald has chosen Anthony (Mooch) Scaramucci to be the cult's propaganda minister.

The country has a problem and that is a corrupt administration from top to bottom.  Sessions must go, not only has he misled Congress he is also advocating matters that will compound law enforcement corruption and judicial abuse.  To allow various members of the administration to continually correct their sworn statements as new evidence is discovered demonstrates credibility issues but also a reluctance by Congress, law enforcement and intelligence agencies to press charges of at least perjury.

Presidential actions to withhold support of existing health care policies under the law may haunt the GOP. Any of these actions by Trump demonstrates a criminal intent to defy law and the needs of the people.  Congress failed to act on Trump's orders and therefore is in contempt of Trump so he threatens the party and destroys the people most in need the poor and elderly.

It is becoming even more apparent that Sessions should have recused himself from the Russian investigation, as more information on his complicity becomes known.  Should the president have publicly admonished Sessions, NO it is apparent that Trump lacks even a basic understanding of responsible management.   There are many reasons Sessions should resign but this isn't one of them, he should go down with captain of the sinking ship.

A Russian official publicly stated on TV that Trump and Putin might have had a secret meeting in a bathroom.  Does Menlania know, what does she know and when did she know it?

Putin floated the idea of becoming president for life can the Donald be far behind?  He has already declared himself dictator and above the law as well as the constitution with his proclamation the he can pardon all loyalist trumpites (that's kinda like termites).   It seems that while in Poland The Donald gave a speech that clearly supported nationalist anti-democratic forces, which may have contributed to their attempt to overthrow the judiciary.  He is already planning his third term in office by campaigning to children at the Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia.

The Donald ordered the British Prime Minister Theresa May to guarantee the largest cheering crowd in British history to greet his arrival in London.  May must also shut down hostile media outlets or he will not come to England. America should be so lucky. Possibly because of her age the Queen will not be required to bow before him. Trump's worry is that over two million Brits have already signed a petition asking the government to block Trump's official visit. The British press has published a leaked transcript of that phone conversation between the two.  The White House has confirmed that Trump's visit has been delayed.
