Meanwhile Donald Trump, the man who pulled this country out of the Paris climate accords and the greatest party boss in memory, luxuriates at Mar-a-Lago, raising sums beyond compare and paying no price for anything he's done. If his party takes over Congress and then the White House, it's not complicated at all. Just light a giant match and burn this planet down, assuming Vladimir Putin hasn't already done that.
Call it hell on Earth and you're anything but exaggerating. The "unthinkable"? Start thinking, my friend. The fate of the Earth, once the title of a classic book on the nuclear nightmare by Jonathan Schell, could soon be little short of a post-Trumpian joke.
My advice and I mean it: duck and cover!
