It's always much worse than anyone could have predicted.
If they say possibly hundreds were killed in a war, it always turns out to be thousands.
If they say possibly your taxes are going up x percent, taxes go up much higher than anyone expected.
If they say possibly the taxpayer will need to spend millions to bail out the 2008 housing crash, it always ends up as billions.

And.... if they say the worst that could happen from electing Donald Trump would be a hit to our economy or a hit to our morals or a hit to jobs or higher taxes, then yes once again it always turns out much worse.
The much worse than anyone could have predicted???
Donald Trump as president.
Donald Trump and his trip to the NATO summit.

Screwing up America is one thing, but exposing his traitorous side was something no one could have predicted.
No one predicted that should Donald Trump actually become president, that Trump would cozy up to communist leaders all the while denying our own leadership and institutions within the US of A.
At the most, many thought Donald Trump would be an ass or smug or ignorant or anti minority.
No one could have predicted this Donald Trump becoming the traitor.
No one predicted THAT. Or imagined anything as this ever happening.

Yes, as bad as many thought Donald Trump would be as president, the reality of Donald Trump as president has now became much worse. Immensely worse.
And isn't that the way it always goes? The way it simply is?
People think, oh this could be bad. Whatever it is. Whatever the disaster might be.
But as with most disasters, it always turns out to be much worse than expected in the end.
And here we are,,,,, once again.
Under predicting how much damage this Donald Trump presidency could possibly do to America.
And I predict, simply from past history, that this worse is only the tip of the ice berg.
If people are outraged over Donald Trump now, how bad could the bad possibly become that we have yet to learn?
It's always much worse than anyone thought.

I tell you what sucks. From my point of view it isn't that trump is an obvious Russian stooge. It's that I had to take two days off unpaid because I recently started a new job and don't have enough sick leave to cover it. I will be lucky if I clear a grand this week. I am not happy. Although I should clear a grand plus. I am not some undocumented immigrant/filthy Mexican after all.

I always appreciate your posts OP. They are so realistic. I will admit I didn't bother reading it and I feel bad about that. Especially since you have put so much effort into this post and others. Don't worry though I get the gist. Word.

He just needs to learn to say more with less words. Less is more, sport.

And like I said, it actually did get worse than anyone expected.
NOW Putin is coming HERE.
Trump is twisting in the wind, changing his words by the hour, Sarah Sanders is shamelessly supportive of WHAT THE HELL DID HE SAY?
And YET.....
Donald appears to have not one shred of regret. Or guilt.
THAT is as always, simply amazing.
Donald can do whatever he wants, no matter how insane, and then 24 - 48 hours later no one even cares. Or remembers.

And as the media hashes all this out and acts like this time Donald crossed the line or no return, they can still laugh about all of this.
It's like no matter how bad it gets, they still manage to laugh while predicting Donald Trump's demise. His assured self destruction.
As long as everyone continues laughing all this off, Trump will get away with everything he does.
No matter how serious, or how insane, or how bladinently traitorous.

He's a nut.
A clown.
He makes us all laugh instead of taking any of this seriously.
I guess America wanted a clown as their president, and we got one.
And the show must go on.
We can damn well bet that Obama could never pull this off with republicans simply laughing it off.
Apparently, there is no line. No line to cross. Apparently. :(

Yeah I hear you. And it's an hard uphill battle keeping on top of things.
Even the simple things have become not so simple.
Most people really can't care about Putin or collusion because everyone is just trying to survive day by day.
And the media seems to enjoy all of this craziness.
Maybe it's not so much FAKE NEWS but more so WHO REALY CARES news?
Who has the time to really care? And should we care, 24 hours later we forget why we cared. And the media is off to a new OMG story concerning Donald Trump.

It's becoming obvious the life-span of OMG Holy-Shit news is about 24 hours.
Yeah.... I guess I myself could be doing something more productive like washing the car.
When I hear a nuke was actually launched by Putin or Kim, that is the time to start paying attention.
I guess.

Yeah just dribble shit. As long as it makes sense to you. Whether it is based in reality or not doesn't matter.

You should be marching cause it is your freedom that is at stake. If Putins hooks are not removed your elections will cease to matter. To think that the last time the American people had an actual say at the ballots they voted in Trump to take away their rights. How is that for comedy.
And I think you are right. It is much much worse, this is not just Trump that is compromised, it is a shitload of other power people too.

No, I felt from that start that a DJT presidency was going to be an unmitigated disaster of unfathomable proportions. And, yeah, it's turning out to be worse than anyone imagined. How else does the shit keep the news media buzzing around him? He needs that stimulation because he has nothing more on his mind than greater and greater buzz about him. Buckle up, more is coming, more is coming. The only thing we know that we have as a buttress against this is the term limit. If American has any backbone left, he will be a one termer.
