Pentagon People: Do Always Rain On His Parade!

Mind-boggle: T supporters definitely drank the koolaid. We can tell. What was in it? How could it eat up absolutely all their critical-thinking brain cells? What addictive substance makes any American worth her/his salt see Russia as our friend? What diseased brains seriously considered mimicking Russian and Chinese and North Korean military parades in T's Inauguration Day parade? Thank God the pentagon people, our military bureaucracy, our democratic structures and governmental checks and balances foiled that outrageous plan. Each day brings reminders of what idiocy T brought us to the brink of. And each day we resist accepting the most imminent lunacy as a normal development of the new administration. Almost nothing is normal now in the West Wing and Oval Office. If these protagonists were half as cunning or chess-wise as House of Cards characters, we'd be depressed and terrified. As it is, chutzpah and lunacy are having their 15 minutes... And, unfortunately, we cannot nap for even a moment lest this pox on our house kills us deader or incinerates us more completely than Vesuvius did Pompeii. God Bless the United States of America. True, we do not yet suffer the devastation Assad inflicts on the Syrian people, but Rome did not fall in one day. Despots find a foothold and tenaciously advance. In the meantime, nothing else does - unless there is unrelenting resistance. And rain, lots of rain on proposed military parades. (One has to suspect that there's significant overcompensating for otherwise tiny... hands?)
