We're Doomed: Have we gone all the way around the doomed spectrum?

Before I get started: If you enjoy this blog you'll probably enjoy what I think is the best podcast out right now "Keeping it 1600" (Address of the White House: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue). It's on a podcast network called Channel 33, easy to find from soundcloud, stitcher and itunes.

Like a snake eating it's tail, we may be approaching coming full circle around the doom continium. Here are some actual things that The Donald said while campaigning this week (I don't have links, you can find them easily enough):

  • He doesn't rule out using nuclear weapons. AGAINST EUROPE. 
I'm going to interrupt my blog here. Donald Trump, in an interview about Nuclear Weapons, said he doesn't rule out dropping an atomic bomb on Europe. Because...Greek financial crisis? French fries? Soccer? I mean...what the fuck?

Back to the list:
  • The National Enquirer reported that Ted Cruz may have cheated on his wife. The Donald's campaign IMMEDIATELY SENT OUT A PRESS RELEASE SAYING "WELL....THE ENQUIRER HAS BEEN RIGHT BEFORE"
Sorry, have to interrupt my factual recap of the week again: THE FUCKING NATIONAL ENQUIRER? People my age will remember this as the magazine in grocery stores that reported on Alien babies. Why the fuck would a candidate for President of the United States, and passionate European bombing enthusiast, send out an unprompted press release about this from such a ridiculous source? Dear god.

Ok, I'm breathing normally again, there can't be anything else, right?
  • In an odd moment that must have been an esteemed interviewer (Chris Matthews) wondering what he could get THE DONALD to say, Matthews asked Donald if women should be punished for having abortions.
Uhh, not if women should have abortions...if they should be punished for having them. Quick note here, THE DONALD is the only Republican candidate to praise Planned Parenthood for the work they do for womens health. So naturally...

OH MY GOD. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. FOR REAL? NO. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING. THE DONALD SAID WOMEN SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR HAVING ABORTIONS.

So...uhh...yeah. The Donald may have gone so far around the bend that he MAY not win the nomination. He will still get the most delegates going into the convention, but not enough to win. It's possible that he is now talking at such an extreme edge of crazy sh*t that, even if he only falls like 100 delegates short of the 1,237 that he needs, literally 0 delegates will switch from another candidate to join him....almost for sure making Ted Cruz the nominee.

Which, in our Ouroboros of doom, brings us back to the fact that Ted Canadian Cruz is not better than Trump. More on that someday soon.
