A very flimsy barrier

On one side we have a fat repulsive slob with mental problems who believes anyone not willing to pay good money for the opportunity to adore him is his enemy. That includes, but is not limited to, people who voted for Hillary, the mainstream media (now), the intelligence community (particularly the parts that are investigating his crimes), most non-whites and non-Christians, and even a few Republicans. This is the so-called president. He's unqualified, incompetent, and uninterested. Even worse, he's usually out of control but can be easily manipulated by a small group of extreme right-wingers who fall into the category "Nazis by any other name." A lot of what the people manipulating him are doing has a strong resemblance to what was going on in Germany in the early 1930's.

On the other side are roughly 60 percent of the American people who disapprove of the fat repulsive slob, most of the people around him, and a few members of his family. Since they aren't actively adoring him, they're enemies of the so-called president.

Between the two sides is the Congress of the United States and the U.S. Supreme Court. In our system of government, we're supposed to have a system of checks and balances that protects the nation when we fuck up badly enough to put a goddamned mental case in charge of the executive branch. There are plenty of people in Congress who are ready to check-and-balance the fat slob every day all day long, but they're in the minority. The ones in the majority are either afraid to do their duty, or don't think the situation calls for any intervention on their part. Some of them, like Paul Ryan, even think the maniac is on the right track and are leading the cheers.

All in all, the barrier that's protecting the side with all the honest, hard-working tax payers who love America from the side with the lunatics and the Nazis is pretty shaky.

Summer walks in Texas

Judging by the amount of water on driveways and sidewalks and in the street, some Texans seem to think you can grow concrete and asphalt using lawn sprinklers.
