You've all been here. You've all seen what has gone on this week.

Firing the Director of the FBI via TV from across the country and forcing him to seek his own way home.

Sean Spicer hiding in the bushes.

Trump tweeting out veiled threats to Sally Yates and James Comey.

Kellyanne spinning like a top again.

That unfortunate Huckabee woman trying to be Kellyanne and failing at it.

Trump entertaining the Russians with Russian media and blocking US media.


Does this really not strike any of his supporters as "not normal?"

I mean, any piece of it. Does any one of these things seem "off" somehow?

Trump is more fit than the alternative was fit. Things are at an 11 now and hysteria by the Left and the Press rules the day today, but I am not sorry Hillary lost and Trump won.

Spicer wasn't hiding in the shrubs. He was "among" them.

I am not sorry Hillary lost but I am sorry that Trump won. Too bad there wasn't another viable candidate. It amazes me this country couldn't produce someone better to run things.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is a REASON that Ringling Bros. shut down at the end of 2016.

Of course he's just fine with his fan base. They are just as screwed up as he is. This country isn't all that smart or advanced after all, given the substantial trump supporters. I find it just amazing that some people are just fine with it. It almost sounds like they are putting up a straight face because they don't want to accept that they screwed up.

I've called all my members of Congress multiple times this week. I also called the DOJ today. The firing of Comey, who was in the middle of an investigation of possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia, is obstruction of justice.

We are heading toward a dictatorship, and most in the GOP are happily following along.

That would be giving them too much credit. I used to think that too; that they just couldn't admit it because, you know, some people just can't be wrong. But now I just think they are flat out delusional or dumb, which is far worse than the first scenario. Each week, when I think it cannot get any more crazy, it continues. It's really, literally, breathtaking. And not in a beautiful-Grand-Canyon kind of way.
