We no longer have a President.

We have a Crime Lord.

Everything--absolutely everything--about that man is corrupt and awful to the core. From Trussia to the Trump Foundation to Michael Cohen's payoffs to using the office to promote Trump family business to legitimate government organizations like the EPA being turned into utter mockeries of themselves.

And the situation only escalated the moment he was sworn in.

'blow their lungs out' about Trump and the Repugs and all the despicable things that are being done to the American People and our Government. They all see what is happening - yet - I don't see them getting to the point of really getting upset - where they say "I'm as mad as hell and can't take it anymore."

I'm sick and tired of them pointing out the lies - yet kind of making light of them and almost laughing at Trump - but letting him get away with it on a day to day basis. This is my definition of 'normalizing'.

They need to look into the camera and talk directly to the American People and point out the seriousness of what is going on right in front of our faces. They need to draw comparisons to historical incidents that are similar to this going on in front of us and pointing out the consequences of the actions of the leaders that brought the same kind of rhetoric and how it led to things that autocrats and dictators foisted on this world.

Just buy your ticket. He doesn't care what happens to you after that.
