    Elen, what you say is very similar to a thought I had. Trump was King in his private world. And people just did what he said, for better or worse. He's president now of an organization he does not own. He's trying very hard to act the same way but he does not own the USA.

    He will be his own undoing and I hope he doesn't bring all of us down with him.

    My son calls him the God Emperor. Thinks of himself in much the same way as the one in the Dune SF series.

    I'm with family now which includes 20 and 30 somethings newly married and with babies. They are not happy about Trump and the future he is offering them. They worry about their privacy, being listened to on their phones, being screened for how they vote, being screwed by the tax bill...

    If they pray to the God Emperor, he may help out. But only after he as thumbed out a cool Twitter snippet.

    I'm still interested to see if Trump will make it through his full term...

    What people should understand that not only is politics going through a change nor is only our culture, but so is Earth and whole humanity. Actually this whole solar system (if not the galaxy) and our consciousness is evolving too. Everything is always changing and always has, but this time it feels more meaningful, like this is the most important time on humanity's history. The actions that are taken and occurring now will reshape everything else for generations to come, for better or worse.

    I just hope that it leads to a peaceful kind of revolution, but since I know history I'm also inclined to think that humanity might repeat the stupid mistakes of the past through global violence and warfare. I'm just interested to see where all of this goes with the major technological advancement and Earth changes that we are about to see. There is no fear in my heart since I don't see death as a bad thing either, but yet there is some worry because I don't particularly like to see pointless suffering.

    Also there is hope. All I ever wanted to see was a united humanity, but I doubt that I would get to see that within my lifetime. Who knows. What do you think, is it still possible?

    The Trump praise session with Pence as the main cheerleader. The talking heads call it atypical and is an example of Pence playing the game to be the next President.

    Has anybody seen that segment on the news? This is not atypical, this is f*cking weird. The guy is f*cked up. He will not make it through this year. Unless the Republicans take over the military and start a military junta with Trump in charge, he will be impeached, if not imprisoned. He has done enough in the face of the American public to be imprisoned, or perhaps institutionalized. This guy is easily as unbalanced as North Korea's beloved kookooboo.

    Meanwhile, the esteemed Rick Santorum, that other pinncle of raw humanness commented how not supporting poor children's health needs is part of a chess game. Part of a chess game? I'm telling you there is something very very seriously wrong with those people. Incidentally, this is not a shocking revelation to me.

    I suppose the millions of American's who voted him in there love to watch reality tv?

    Then again, I see why he won. It was either him or Shillary.

    I like this 'headline':

    Russian oligarchs' money... at what moment will they give Trump up to keep their wealth?

    And this is an interesting image:

    Not to be surprised, Trump wants his damn wall in order to treat innocent children with compassion and a sense of true justice. Give him his damn wall if that is what his kind need for a warm and fuzzy. Is my opinion indicative of the meme "Let them take our personal rights and disregard American values" for the sake of a sense of security? A security that is predicated on a need that defies reality and real circumstances. Is it all part of the world cabal conspiracy to lead us to the slaughter?

    I said it first and then George Carlin said it...How stupid is the average human and then consider that half of them are stupider.

    Trump wants to be remembered like the Emperor of China and that's why he wants his monument.

    A big, beautiful wall it has to be since he can't his face carved on Mount Rushmore.
