Good news: In two years, we’ll have a new president. Bad news: If we make it that long.
My “good” prediction is based on the Law of the Pendulum. Enough Americans, including most independent voters, will be so ready to shed Donald Trump and his little shop of horrors that the 2018 midterm elections are all but certain to be a landslide — no, make that a mudslide — sweep of the House and Senate. If Republicans took both houses in a groundswell of the people’s rejection of Obamacare, Democrats will take them back in a tsunami of protest.
Once ensconced, it would take a Democratic majority approximately 30 seconds to begin impeachment proceedings selecting from an accumulating pile of lies, overreach and just plain sloppiness. That is, assuming Trump hasn’t already been shown the exit.
Or that he hasn’t declared martial law (all those anarchists, you know) and effectively silenced dissent. We’re already well on our way to the latter via Trump’s incessant attacks on the media — “among the most dishonest human beings on Earth” — and press secretary Sean Spicer’s rabid-chihuahua, daily press briefings. (Note to Sean: Whatever he’s promised you, it’s not worth becoming Melissa McCarthy’s punching bag. But really, don’t stop.)
With luck, and Cabinet-level courage that is not much in evidence, there’s a chance we won’t have to wait two long years, during which, let’s face it, anything could happen. In anticipation of circumstances warranting a speedier presidential replacement, wiser minds added Section 4 to the 25th Amendment, which removes the president if a majority of the Cabinet and the vice president think it necessary, i.e., if the president is injured or falls too ill to serve. Or, by extension, by being so incompetent — or not-quite-right — that he or she poses a

Well heck, several weeks ago it was expected to be a six month presidency by man on the Left. I guess WE ARE making progress here.
What in the world happened to Kathleen Parker? Did Michael Douglas dump her, too?
This is absolutely delusional! WOW!
So comical it’s sad......how can anyone be so delusional????
Who is this nut?
lol - poetic
Whistling past graveyards only momentarily boosts morale. Especially when you feel a hand on your shoulder from behind....
Adrenalin does wonderful things to the human anatomy.
TRUMP IN 2020! With a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and a solid and growing majority in the House. Oh, and a solid reliable majority on the Supreme Court, which shall raise the percentage of 9th Circuit decisions overturned to some 90+%.
Also, a remarkable number of high-level Civil Service bureaucrats take early retirement, and many lower court Federal judges do likewise.
Still not tired of winning.
Is she one of those who predicted Trump would lose and take down the whole ticket with him?
She might be right. At President Trump’s current pace, he might run out of things to do in two years.
This delusion is strong with the leftists.
One rogue judge on the left Coast joins their echo chamber, and they think they are them majority.
She must have had her Vibrator cranked up to 11 when she was writing that Column.
I like your crystal ball.
I see no reason to doubt any of that. This is what we should have handed Reagan. Thank heaven we’re getting a do-over.
Relish the moment. I’m sure you are. Aren’t we all...
The left, the MSM and the NeverTrumper Repukeicans are going all out to discredit the president any way they can. A couple of days ago I saw that pompous SOB Scott Pelley on CBS saying Trump was “divorced from reality” regarding his ban on refugees. All these narratives from President Trump being a racist, crazy, a dictator president, etc. are going to continue for the duration of his presidency. All these people want their little DC fiefdom back and they’ll do anything to bring down Trump to get it back.
I suggest that:
“We The People make the environment so toxic for SJW’s, that their hearts grow faint, to include reinstating the draft.
How many SJW-basement-dwellers die during basic training, no one can count.
My Fear—When they fail in their attempt to make Trump a failed President—they will resort to murder—to take out the Nazi Trump with a drone, bomb, bullet or poison pellet. I can see that happening—their hate is beyond all reason. To them—Trump is Anti-Christ, Satan incarnate, all that is evil and vile. Heck, Is I believed such drivel I might want to stop such a mad man before he starts gassing folks.
A little smoke is okay but those boys and girls down at the Washington Post need to cut back or figure out what the hell their smoke is dusted with! I “aint never did” no smoke like they are doing and never will!
