Trump on his way to an Appointment in Samara

Trump on his way to an Appointment in Samara

The Trump stuff has really kicked off! Just when you think it can't get any more fever pitched than it already is, it gets ten times worse!

It sounds like he miscalculated though. I'm sure he had no idea just how big a deal sacking James Comey  was going to be. I am sure he thought that the Dems would be happy about it and that he was being super clever about the whole thing.
'Haha! No one will expect that I have an ulterior motive! I'm so clever.'
What an idiot.

And as if it couldn't get any more bizarre, the next day he has two Russian diplomats in the WH. One of  whom was Sergey Kislyak. You know - that guy. That guy that is at the centre of everything and is very familiar to anyone that watches Rachel Maddow every day.

And not only that -!!! - but the US media was not allowed to the meeting while the Russians were!
Unbelievable. The pictures came from TASS. TASS for god's sake!

Well, he's certainly bought his impeachment a lot closer, which is a good thing. He rage-fired the FBI director and maybe he thought this will shut down the Trump-Russia thing but it was like throwing petrol on a fire - FWOOMPH!

He's really on the road to Samara, the more he tries to escape his fate the closer he gets to it.

If you have not read it, Appointment in Samara is a book by American writer John O'Hara that tells the story of a man on a path of suicidal self-destruction.

The book opens with this ancient quote:

Death speaks: There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling and said, Master, just now when I was in the market-place I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me.
The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the market-place and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.
