He's dismantling our government

[cilla4progress]

Singlehandedly ... along with Putin.

[dem4decades]

1. He couldn't do it without his base and the Republicans.

[lindysalsagal]

2. No foreign power could do us half this much harm. Why have a great military if we'll allow potus to

ruin us from the inside?

[triron]

11. Putin's doing. POTUS is accomplice.

[Hekate]

3. Yes he is, with help from inside. I understand Putin, sort of, but my fellow Americans? nt

[Doodley]

4. Can it be stopped?

[triron]

12. Of course, but will it?

[area51]

5. Don't forget McConnell. n/t

[procon]

6. Maybe that was the plan all along.

Republicans hate our government. They been trying for years to "drown it in a bathtub", or "deconstruct the administrative state", and for that they only needed to pick a president "with enough working digits to handle a pen".

It's happening right before our eyes.

[Initech]

10. 40 years of Reagan's Ayn Rand anti-government horseshit got us here.

Fuck both of them.

[enough]

14. Absolutely right. Blaming Putin for this is to ignore the history of the Republican Party

for the past several decades. Their plan is unfolding perfectly at the moment.

[world wide wally]

7. Trump and his sidekick, Turtleboy

[Grasswire2]

8. Bannon told us what they were going to do.

Shutter government, break all the administrative structure.

All based on his dystopian vision of the future.

Miller provided the gratuitous cruelty.

[Grasswire2]

9. This is the book that inspired Bannon.

13. No surprise here.. He said he would

and the GOP toadies in congress are helping him

watch PBS tomorrow....it's about Mussolini..check your local schedule

[enough]

15. Not singlehandedly. He's been doing the Republicans' bidding while thinking he's

in charge.
