Normalization of his ways, behavior and decisions with climbing pole numbers and massive obstruction of the truth by the GOP is a HUGE problem.

Vladimir Putin is determined to destroy democratic-republics in Europe as well as in the western hemisphere. He has found the perfect stooge to accomplish this mission here.

We must resist.

The gop happily joined in once the money started flowing. Putin read them correctly. Get rich at any cost, that is the gop motto. They are all lying on a daily basis, protecting the main "leader" tRump, yet we all know they have zero respect for him. Their respect means very little anymore. They are selling out this country, and I hope I live long enough to see them all pay for their treason.

Just because the media are too afraid of them/too corrupted to talk about them when analyzing the actions of the Republican Party does not mean they don't exist.

Putin's game largely assists them in reaching their ends.

Trump is creating his own "legacy". History will never forget him, but hardly in the way he would wish.

Trump isn't fit to lick the bottom of Obama's shoes. He is such an inferior person in every way, and I think he knows it which is why he is so hell-bent on erasing his legacy.

Is Donald Trump:

A) Simply Putin's puppet and succeeding wildly in doing his master's bidding by destroying America from within and sowing chaos and discord;

B) Genuinely wanting to succeed as president but totally clueless and incapable as to how to do it;

C) Inwardly frustrated as heck that he will never be one tenth the president or human being that Obama was, and is trying to wreck everything he did out of pure spite;

D) Caught in a real bind between genuine desires of wanting to do well as president versus what Putin is covertly forcing or blackmailing him into doing to wreck this country;

OR

E) Some complex mixture of two or more of the above options - or all of them?

I'm really interested to hear your opinions on this!

G) A racist who is trying to avenge his bruised ego after President Obama mocked him at the White House Correspondents' Dinner several years ago. How dare someone -- especially someone of a darker complexion -- ridicule the Drumpf?!?

We're talking about an ego of pathologically massive proportions here. Everything else -- the nation's well-being, the economy, indeed our existence -- is secondary to massaging this fragile, wounded ego.

That -- in addition to being totally beholden to Putin -- drives Cadet Bone Spurs to try to destroy President Obama's reputation at all costs.

This is another case of an idiot failing upwards. Between his father's money and an ability to con people, he can go somewhere but not actually do the job.

Everything he does and says is a bluff, an attempt to keep us from seeing how far out of his depth he is, and how little he knows about anything. The belligerence is probably a function of his desperation.

1. They don't care about History
2. They have no concept of consequence, they live in the "here, now", they don't even care what world their kids will inherit.
3. They are not patriots, their concern is power.
4. These are people with NO principles
5. These are people with heart
6. These are people who promote hate because their hearts are full of hate.

Posters like that mean nothing to them, the criminal continues to walk to his/her goal.

It is not that it must not be said, but to think that it has any effect on them is to lie to oneself.
