I am NOT arguing that if Trump thought he was on his way out, that he would have no qualms about taking everyone with him.

I just don't see him as believing that he's toast. He's too much of an egomaniac. If he's been told he's sick, he's going to believe he will be the miracle because he is "The Donald". If he's been told he's losing support, he's not going to believe it. HE decides what the reality is for him and his circle. Who needs any stinking facts.

I definitely think he's deranged. I just don't think he has the ability to think anything negative about himself. There are way too many other people for him to blame.

Your statement that anything is possible is absolutely spot on. It is indeed terrifying regardless. He's a psycho.

Pushing for Armageddon. Once stockpiles of cruise missles and assorted arms are depleted, it becomes easier for this madman to consider tactical Nukes. That shit never stays in the neighborhood.
I live within 5 miles of Jim Creek. This military facility communicates with our subs. High priority target of our Russian military.
Drinking during the day is entirely reasonable now.
I'm too cynical to expect a good outcome.

We have some wonderful local growers that produce solid plants.

Best Tomato for taste? It has to do with not only the variety of tomato, how it was grown, climatic conditions, when it was picked, when the fruit was cut, and if you understand things.

Btw my best tomato so far: Black Prince. Late June picked in the afternoon.

I have at least 10 varieties that excel everywhere I've grown them, in different ways and conditions.

They are always the foundation of my gardens. Growing 50-60 types this year.

average high temps in summer months are maybe 67-68 degrees. Cherry tomatoes do well, but otherwise, no sure bets. Keep in mind my wife and I aren’t highly experienced gardeners.

the guy with the "football" doesn't let him take possession, and/or there is someone standing between him and the order to launch..........

Everything he does is totally enabled and encouraged by the Republican U.S. Senators and House Members, and the Republican Supreme Court. Without them, he wouldn't have made it past the first week of his first "occupation" of the White House......
It's THOSE THREE GROUPS........ not really "Trump"........

Of course we would still have to worry about NKorea, Russia, and Israel.............

hell to win the midterms. I'm sure he's very confident that he's the most successful president in history, but he'll still burn everything down to distract from the Epstein files and as a fascist move to demonstrate that he is king of the world. If he doesn't using nukes, we can thank our lucky stars.

he knows he shouldn't have come down that escalator, and should have stayed out of the elections, period. But no... his ego couldn't stand not being "out there".... now that he's made a right fine mess of absolutely everything he said or touched, the only thing he can think of in his demented, senile condition is to burn down the whole world. After all, if the entire world won't bow down to him and kiss his butt, what does he care who he nukes or how many nukes he lets loose. He's not going to have live through any of it.

If only there was some proof of a place of eternal damnation and punishment, some of this might be easier to take... we could at least hope to see his butt in hell. But I'm afraid that mythology left a long time ago when trump just keeps on ticking...
