Far too many of the blog posts I read on a regular basis are now speculating about the damage the president* may do to our democracy during a second term. I know it is prudent to imagine a worst case scenario when it comes to the 2020 elections, but I wonder if the mere imagining of a second term for the orange buffoon gives oxygen to a campaign with a lead pillow on its face.
Some of my conservative facebook friends were ecstatic over the story that Elizabeth Warren's claim she was let go at a teaching job in New Jersey in 1971 because she was pregnant was false (spoiler alert, it is true). An interview with the principal at the time should clear up the controversy, but that is not the way tRump's true believers bought in to the story. The fact their dear leader trains a fire hose of lies on the public every day of his presidency* means nothing. Even the possibility of an opponent lying even once is enough to fuel their outrage. I truly believe there is no smoking cannon large enough to dent their faith in Cheetolini.
Meanwhile, the MSM continues to play the "both sides" card. The NYT published an op-ed by the discredited hack Peter Schwiezer , the author of "Clinton Cash", claiming there is really a Biden scandal in the Ukraine. With a feckless media on The Donald's side it makes me anxious for the future of this country. As Paul Krugman points out in the same NYT, our only hope may be in the character flaws such as stupidity, laziness and an inability to admit he is wrong that tRump deals with every day of this nightmare presidency.
