One of the many dangers of a Trump presidency

In case you didn't know...

Miles Taylor, the Department of Homeland Security's former chief of staff, has issued this firsthand account of trying to brief the Former Guy about national security - like talking to a five year old:

"What we saw week in and week out, for me, after two-and-a-half years in that administration, was terrifying," he recalled of his years serving as a Trump appointee. "We would go in to try to talk to him about a pressing national security issue, cyberattack, terrorism threat…he wasn't interested in those things."

And, oh yes, if you live in a blue state?  no federal assistance for you for disasters: 

"...Trump intentionally withheld funding from California to support its wildfire response because it is a traditionally Democratic state."

And Republican voters have just given this dangerous lunatic the nomination for President.  There is no Republican Party.  It disappeared in 2016, any other thoughts are dangerously naive and delusional.
