In SC-York I had been hearing very loud jets flying often since the election. Until about...

...a week ago.

Now, I just heard one from inside my house. Very loud.

With Trump going really super-boy wannabe wacky dictator in the WH, I'm starting to really worry he will sabotage us with anything he can before 1/20.

The worst thing he can do right now, is start a war.

I'm not talking about his little pop-gun bearing proud old-men-boys who would never dare try it here at home.

No, this enemy is very real and very powerful.

I'm talking about an actual, extra-nasty war, with Iran.

And all the additional horror that war with Iran would inflict upon the world now.

PLEASE! Can anyone talk me down from this nightmare?

...Iran as a lame-duck.

Trump wants to hurt us, for hurting him.

Damn, now I'm scaring myself more!

And I think it's pretty clear that the military isn't about to go along with one, should he try.

There's a huge difference between Bush-Iraq and Trump-anywhere. Bush had the support of everyone in his circle plus much of Congress. Trump has no one.

They hate him - at least the Joint Chiefs and the others who understand what's going on do.
They can't wait to see the end of Chump - U.S. military and the intelligence community.
Chump has no power without them.

We're gonna get through this.
