What Is The Breaking Point Of Dealing With Trump's Dangerous, Criminal and Treasonous.....

actions? He is destroying this democracy. Everybody sees it. Everybody is watching it happening. Everybody is acknowledging he is doing this. So I ask - how much more are we going to tolerate of his antics before people in this government, in the security sector, in the military, etc are going to put their foot down and do something about him? How much more are we going to tolerate? How much more will the MSM normalize his actions before they realize he is destroying this democracy?

Mine expires in a year anyway, so better to renew it now before the civil war starts when drumpf refuses to leave office after he lost.

after serving in Europe during the Bush years, many of my fellows were opting to retire there. I deliberately came back to the States, because this is my country, and I will not be intimidated out of it.

something really bad happens. I wonder if anything is too intolerable for the Trump base. Right now with the anti-immigration it is like feeding the base candy - they simply love it. White supremacy at it's best - now everyone stand and salute Herr Trump! It's going to be a looong election season.

That's part of our problem. The MSM is in it for ratings, not good government. If we go fascist, some stations will have to change or go out of business or go underground, but there will still be a market for "news." I envision a sort of Max Headroom type future in terms of television news.

so long as he can keep the Parties divided over "politics" or some divisive issue. The lines have been drawn and the nation has been divided into camps.

Somebody has to make a decision. They cannot wait for something to "break".

Mueller testimony will be the end of the line. There is little ground left after that.

They want to cover the chaos of people “panic prepping” at Walmart, like the grocery store scene in The Day After.

When tRumps actions start effecting the repuk party and it's handlers.. That, to me means when the Senate will prosecute after impeachment. Until that point we are dead in the water with impeachment. VOTE HIM OUT!

Our system of government apparently is unable to withstand what is happening as it provides no avenue to stop any of this. All one can do is express outrage. As Chomsky describes it, we still have the right to protest in some way or another, but none of it matters and it accomplishes nothing.

Most of the pundits would have done fine during the 3rd Reich in Germany.

They would have normalized Hitler I'm sure.

'maybe' then but I'm not that naive or delusional so I won't be holding my breathe.

All we can do is work our butts off to our Dem candidate elected by a landslide and get super majorities elected to both houses.

children in filthy cages, treated like animals and with held medical care, nutrition, safety and dignity . . .

this shit wipe megalomaniac goose-stepping down Pennsylvania Avenue, locking down the Lincoln Memorial - which is NEVER SECURED from the public, demanding a Moscow-style parade of the killing machinery of war . . .

the elevation of his airhead-bimbo Barbie daughter thinking she actually belongs on the world stage with seasoned diplomats and the leaders of nations . . .

destroying the census with an executive order after the courts have told him to take his question and shove it up his ass . .

the trouser stain in the WH getting butt-fucked by third world murdering tyrants, while he does nothing about the murder of Americans in their nations . . .

Then there ISN'T a breaking point and we are all just in this Bataan-style death march to the bitter, broken end.

Rather than my own words, this says it all that needs to be said. Time is way past due. We WILL keep trying to fix it. We never give up.

Checked my own ancestry just in case we find "illegal immigrants " getting rounded up further. Mine are Scots who arrived here pre-Revolutionary war, and just happened to fight in it (they missed the airports though).

Democratic leadership as assured us that nothing he does is worth even opening an investigation.

He is, apparently, entirely above the law.

He has also made sure that we're all aware that he WILL be receiving electoral help from hostile foreign nations.

That is apparently not an important thing either.

I don't think there is anything he could do that would cause House leadership to say "NO MORE".

And that is a sad and frightening realization.
