So you thought you\u2019d take a break from politics the day after the elections, did you? Sure you did, but you forgot, the Trumpster never takes a break, the Trumpster never sleeps, the Trumpster is the Energizer Bad Bunny of America. Like those sci-fi creatures from the \u201850\u2019s, he cannot exist without your attention. He feeds on your horror at every tweet, at every dog whistle, at every misogynistic slur. Avert your eyes for a few days and he\u2019d dissolve in a puddle of his own slime like the Wicked Witch of the West after a bucket of cold water.<\/p>\n
Get ready for another two years. They don\u2019t call it Mid-Term for chuckles. Halfway through our national ordeal. Expect some cabinet shake-ups. Some firings. Some name calling. Another Saturday Night Massacre. Get ready for a stand-off at the border with the zombie caravan trudging north. Gear up for a little saber rattling with Iran and more of that loveable John Bolton, the guy who loves a good ground war. If you thought the Blue Wave might shut these folks down for awhile, you\u2019ve been out of the country for too long on some cruise ship to Antarctica. <\/p>\n
The Trump\/Bannon paradigm is to use tweets the way a mass killer uses an AR-15. Careful aim isn\u2019t what matters, what matters is keeping the trigger finger engaged. Given enough time and ammo, the splatter spray will bring a building down. Congressional hearings will take months, investigations will take years, Mueller may be fired \u2026 but meantime the ricocheting tweets and executive orders will be a constant barrage on the 24\/7 news cycle. The man is a human whack-a-mole, popping up here, popping up there, popping up everywhere. <\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t lose those elections yesterday. He never loses. And we didn\u2019t win any yesterday. There is no winning with this guy in office. Buckle up, the ride isn\u2019t anywhere near over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
