WHEN THE FUCK IS IT GONNA BE " ENOUGH ALREADY"?

He’s selling our security to a fucking telecom company that isn’t even an American company. I mean, what the fuck does it take? If he were paid to nuke Chicago would it still be all right? Where does it stop? When are these cowardly Congresspeople gonna step up and scream “YOURE TERMINATED, MOTHERFUCKER!”?

I suppose never. Fuckers...

makes me wonder if it is already too late. Perhaps we are in the second year of the coup.

Tin foil time: Why would the Russians waste two decades bringing Trump along, spoon feeding him money, praise, and promises, only to see him burned down by the Congress? Perhaps Trump was the Trojan horse and now that he is through the gates, he IS expendable, because Mike Pence was the plan all along. Remember that Manafort brought Pence to the table. Just imagine, if Trump is impeached or resigns, how the television trolls will sing hosanna for Pence- the upright true Christian....also in Vlad's pocket. I suspect that all of these never trumpers that seem to be on our side would jump ship to Pence in a flash.

.... Christian wackanoodle Crusaders marching off to do war with American Democracy. Their stealth goal is to disassemble our American government of Democracy and replace or Reconstruct our government and transform that government into their special brand of a Fundamentalist - Old Testaments Christian Theocracy.

Out goes the Constitution - in comes the biblical law and order. Full compliance or get stoned to death without a trial required. Just think of it as retrograde witch trials redux - fuck this progressive malarkey.

The honorable Judge Roy Moore for United States President. May he plant his mammoth granite monument to the Christian Ten Commandments on the White House front lawn. Take down the American flag from the roof of the White House and install a golden Christian cross to Almighty Jesus and his white supremacists brand of Fascistic followers.

trDump is just the prelude - wait and see what these Christian nut-jobs really have in mind for America.

Pence has been running business of the GOP since the inauguration. He and his wife have been holding parties and entertaining congressmen and senators and DC society at the Naval Observatory since the inauguration. Just more overt about it now.

The tRumps do not entertain at all and in DC, entertaining is all about consolidation of power.

The Russians saw the American cult of personality and the way average folks can't peel their eyeballs away from *reality* television in the age of the Kardashians and Fox Spews. I think they realized that tRump would be highly electable to those in the rust buckets that actually elect the POTUS when the electoral votes are tallied. Pence may have been, as you said, the real Manchurian candidate, but would have been totally unelectable; therefore, Manafort brought him to tRump's attention and he was always the stealth insert they hoped (and believed) would one day be accomplishing their goals.

As much or more than they hate Trump. That could be a reason they have not moved on Trump - they don't want Pence in charge any more than many did not want Cheney in charge during the GWB period. If that is the case they may be hoping that Mueller can find enough dirt on Pence to throw him into the blender.

Trump's base. He knows he's going to need them if he wants to get anything done as (dog help us!) President. Trump will go down, one way or another, and as bad as Pence is, he'll be appointed President. With just his christian, theocratic lunatics behind him Pence gets nothing done. With Trump's cult behind him, as well as his loonies, he has a chance to turn the U.S. into a fascist/theocratic nightmare.

You can vote all you want. It might change red states to blue. What it WILL do is propel the elected to millionarehood before their term is up.

If the young people don't realize that their future is in jeopardy, then they are in for a surprise. I will just quote one fact. Fifty years ago the largest employer was General Motors and the average salary in 2016 dollars was $30.00 an hour. Today the largest employer is Walmart and their average salary is $8.00 per hour. Over 95% or today's job are minimal pay work. That is the future kids. We are going to have the highest educated dish washer in the nation's history.

have his military parade this year (next year's will be even bigger!), meet with the North Korean leader and give an international pariah legitimacy, move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and set the Mideast peace process 50 years, hire John Bolton as national security advisor, have Sean Hannity as his one-man kitchen cabinet, watch Fox News incessantly, dismantle the EPA because it gets in the way of corporate profits, fail to fill major positions in the State department, attack the DOJ and FBI and let (actually support) Devon Nunes trying to out a covert DOJ asset, fire a career FBI manager two days before his retirement, let a staffer insult John McCain without consequence, laud neo-Nazis as "fine people," tell the North Koreans they took "excellent care" of three American prisoners (ignoring the one who entered into a coma while in their care), weaken America's traditional role as the moral leader of the world, claim he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, turn an honored war time hero (Kelly) into a lying sycophant, play golf as much as he likes, continue to call for his political opponent to be jailed, attack the press for doing its job (calling it an enemy of the state!), etc.

In other words, this is never going to end. The best we can expect is for Mueller to indict everyone in Trump's orbit, especially Jared and Don-Don. the Repugs have been working overtime to blunt the results of Mueller's probe, and unless the Dems gain control of the House and two-thirds of the Senate, we're stuck with him.

BTW, how do you work for someone who says in public that your are a coward and a traitor? Is his WH staff's self esteem that low? Or is it Stockholm Syndrome? Actually, people who come into contact with Trump act like battered spouses.

For the right price, Trumpy would slit Ivanka's throat. Oh, he'd be sad for a few seconds, but his monetary reward would soon make him forget he had a daughter.

But you're right, hyperbole notwithstanding. The GOP will allow Trumpy to enrich himself every day, every hour. They really don't care. And Trumpy will do exactly that. Any foreign policy decision MUST leave Trumpy with a cut, or it's dead in the water. Graft, bribery, extortion, treason... all of it makes no difference to the GOP nor to Trumpy. It's all good because they're in power and everyone else can go suck eggs.

And you know what? 75% of Republicans believe that the Mueller investigation is "fake news." Propaganda works.

Honestly I think the only reason he never released them is because it would show him making far less than his followers all THINK he makes. And part of the trump illusion is how rich and successful he is. Remember, he said he's worth 10 Billion. And theres no way thats accurate. But legal tax returns would show the truth as far as yearly income.

He never told me what reasons he had, but he said "he kept Hillary out of office, so he served his purpose. But he's a bigger idiot than I ever expected & I cant stand him".
