“I can feel it in the air,” Phil Collins said.
Me, too. I live down by Wildwood and this is Trumpland for sure. Skillions of retired Philly cops and firemen. The woman down the way flew a Trump flag as big as the Ritz during the campaign.
Yet I see daylight, brothers and sisters. First, down here. The Cape May County Herald is the so-called paper of record, owned by a right wing creep who thinks he is the voice of reason in all things when he writes his smarmy publisher's notes every week. His soppy wife chimes in, too. Ugh.
Yet there is this cool column called “Spout Off' in the Herald where people get to vent about whatever is on their minds. I've noticed of late that there seems to be a growing number of anti-Trump Spout Offs, as if people are coming to their senses and seeing the dangerous corner this fool is backing America into. Before, there were mostly posts praising this asshole to the rafters and bad-mouthing any world that was not Trump's.
I don't know. Maybe it's the New Year and/or the fact that Trump's honeymoon ends tomorrow when Nancy Pelosi and a Democratic House begin collecting all the wolf tickets Trump has been selling his whole life. If this is to be a battle of wits, guess who's unarmed? Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are going to run rings around Trump. We'll see now who actually is of “low intelligence.”
Yet here in Trumpland there are also folks with the native intelligence and bullshit detectors to have peeped Trump's hole card since the beginning. I have two friends – good solid working class people – who have a total disgust for all he is about and don't mind telling that to one and all. And I'm sure there are retired Philly cops and firemen down here who also see Trump for what he is – supply your own description here.
In the last couple days several people with international name recognition have blasted Trump eight ways from Sunday, too. Ex-House Speaker Harry Reid says Trump is the ”worst president” in history. Mitt Romney calls him “immoral” and Romney hasn't even been seated as a Republican senator yet. Andrew Cuomo blistered Trump's fat ass and retired four-star general Stanley McChristal says he wouldn't go to work for Trump for love nor money.
A guy on TV the other day said he thought Trump is sorry now he ever ran for President. He should be. Right now there are 17 different investigations into every aspect of anything Trump. And the Dems in the House haven't even started yet in turning over Trumpian rocks.
Trump was so used to running everything with no opposition that he couldn't in his pea brain fathom that a ton of accountability goes with the job and if there's one thing he never had to reckon with it was accountability.
Guess what? He's going to find out that there is accountability. And that there are real and lasting penalties for those found wanting. And who has been more wanting in everything decent, moral, and legal than Donald J. Trump?
