Useless, Useless

these were the last words of John Wilkes Booth, the murderer of Lincoln, however these words can easily be applied to our current President entire tenure of office and the prospect of another four years of the same idiocy looming ahead. his appointments to offices, his policies and inactions have just about brought our once glorious nation to its knees. i know of no way explain just how he's managed to be elected to our highest office twice, except to say our country's voters must be the most gullible lot of fools on the face of the earth.

what can we expect given the poor quality of his appointees to high office. the congress with few exceptions, have behaved like the peanut gallery on the old Howdy Doody Puppet show of the 1950s. i am not optimistic about what the future holds for us here in the USA. are we headed for a future the likes of which i dare not contemplate, or is there time to get out of the mess our current POTUS has put us in. dare we ask, was it just incompetence on his part, or is there something more diabolical in his actions?
