America in Peril

That picture from the meeting at the White House says it all.  The  expression on the face of the President of the United States shows a petulant child living in a fantasy world that only he occupies.  He is not mentally balanced and does not have a grip on just about anything having to do with government, policy or process.  

That is an extremely dangerous condition for the most powerful man in the free world to be suffering from.  And most importantly, we the people are the ones in most jeopardy: from ISIS, from Russia, from a government of appointed toadies and incompetents, from our hollowed out institutions, from the Justice Department, from the Republicans.

So the problem is that  we have no immediate solution.  Impeachment, if it actually occurs, will stop the madness, but we still have a year to go until the election.  And if Trump survives the impeachment trial, his actions will only get worse—more unhinged, and the potential for unknowable kinds of disaster to our country,  our national security, even our very existence as a country, will be exponentially increased.

Certainly the 25th Amendment, while a viable option in writing, is unlikely, given the people who would have to invoke it.  They are all appointed by the Madman-in-Chief.

Perhaps the only option now is prayer…..God Help Us.
