They actually think they have shot the moon, and all that remains is to rake in the money from a wild expansion of planet-killing old-paradigm petrochemical exploration, a resurgence of coal use, and no stoppage of nuclear power for-- uh, as long as it lasts.
And they are convinced that people are fine with that, that We the People have resigned ourselves to just being consumers until the shelves run out, and that when they do, the "right people" will still have enough of all the guns to make sure that-- well, that they remain the last ones standing.
Enjoying ourselves while we're destroying ourselves, that's the paradigm. I still retain hope, though, that the wool blanket that this Administration is desperately trying on all information fronts to pull over the eyes of We the People is going to become repellent enough to enough Republicans that they will eventually vomit him up.
That will, of course, leave Mike Pence, and I don't care to hear the argument that he will be merely a more efficient exploiter. He at least speaks the language of governance, and I am betting dollars against bottlecaps that he will not conduct foreign diplomacy by Twitter.
I don't think Pence would declare nuclear war by accident. Trump did not, I have noted before, know what the Nuclear Triad was until Marco Rubio informed him in a Republican primary debate.
Pence actually has a team of advisors who I am sure have developed contingency plans in the eventuality of Trump's deposing. One of Trump's greatest disqualifications is that he has no idea how to take advice.
Don't worry, President Trump, Mr. Obama didn't bug your Tower (as a household mover I once did a job in Trump Tower, one of the cheaper units, but that's another story...). And don't worry, Charlie Daniels: it will not be protesters under the general classification of "the Left" who cause bloodshed.
