  For Sale: One Government

  "I didn't sell my soul for politics..." He maybe sold his soul a long time ago, but, during his 8 years, he sold the Dept of Justice, FEMA, Homeland Security, the Economy, CHIPS, the Constitution, Truth, Justice, and The American Way for politics.

  Everything he touched, he broke. Politics and his narrow ideology was the basis of everything he did and did not do. It is well known and documented in books by those personally experiencing it that he politicized everything. While we are all distracted with the transition and the fact that soon he and his cronies will be gone, he is still selling out. He is signing laws that prohibit access to contraception, and other reproductive health at home and abroad and leaving some little messes in environment and protected species behind. Somebody needs to keep an eye on him for the next few weeks. He is not as helpless as he appears, though his physical appearance, his speech, his thought process---never stellar---is very telling that he is clinically depressed. He is depressed because "the fates" were not kind to him.

  I suppose it is a blessing, Joan, that he is delusional. How could anyone live with themselves knowing that there is not one saving grace to be had having been given not only the opportunity of a lifetime but the gravest responsibility of a lifetime and totally blown it?

  It will take at least 15 years to make repairs while he levels the fields in Crawford with health care for life, a great pension, and all the quirks of a retired President. At the end of the day, what could anyone have expected from someone who had never held a job until he was 40 years old. His greatest achievement was part owner of a baseball team. I rest my case.
