Now that the stench of Trump's own corruption is getting the vampire-killing light of day that it has long been in need of, some may wonder how that corruption influences or reflects upon his administration as a whole.
Well, enough with the wondering - mkay? There is no mystery as to why everything Drumpf touches turns to shit. He has never possessed the chops or the personal integrity to be a hard-working, honest, merit-based, successful businessman, and so he turned to graft, which was much easier, and much more lucrative.
But remember when Trump loudly bragged that he only hired and surrounded himself with "the best" people? . . . remember that? And his supporters cheered lustily? Remember? Apparently Drumpf was referring to these people:
Trump's National Security Adviser Mike Flynn plead guilty to lying to the FBI.

That's not even counting the small army of former high-level staffers who have all departed under some murky or other ambiguous circumstances, and many of whom are currently caught up in the Mueller Russian collusion investigation.
Anyone detecting a pattern here folks? Nothing stands out in the way of, oh.... a common theme perhaps? Hello? Hello . . is this thing on?
Draining the swamp The Gadfly's ass.
It astounds The Gadfly every fucking day just knowing that so many people bought blindly in to Drumpf's carnival barker con game. But more than that - it scares the shit out of The Gadfly knowing that a sizable portion of that bunch (like the Hail Jeebus folk in the picture at the top of this post), believe sincerely, that all of that corruption is not only just dandy, but it also gives them cause to adore and revere the person responsible for that corruption even more profoundly - namely, their dear leader and living god, Donald J. Trump.
And that right there dear readers - is the very clinical definition of a cult:

[kuhlt]noun
- a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
- an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult.
- the object of such devotion.
Donald Trump and his people are not in any sense "the best" people that this country has to lead our nation. In fact, the argument being made here, in this post, on the pages of this shitty little blog, is that they are actually the worst! people to be leading this nation. Full stop. And if you are supporting and enabling bad people to lead our nation, what does that make you?
You all know damn well what you need to do folks -- if you give a shit about your democracy and freedom that is. So just go do it then . . . .
Resist.
Speak up.
