It was obvious from the moment he took office. It was extremely depressing he was not removed earlier and the way he never paid a price for anything was insane. This time is different. This is going to get a lot worse. The Titanic has hit the iceberg.

Trump is an existential threat to the nation and the GOP enablers are the bootlickers that are putting us into a position where the Constitution is in tatters and there is more than a non-zero chance of an actual second Civil War breaking out after he loses in 2020 and refuses to acknowledge the election results.
He refuses subpoenas - court and Congressional - already.
He orders subordinates to do the same in contravention of the law.
He has stacked the courts and has corralled the gutless Senate and the spineless House Republicans too.
He whips up his crowds with hints at violence and words like "treason" and "we used to handle that differently" (with sinister intent being OBVIOUS).
This is a man who out of the blue this week decided to allow an autocratic thug annex part of a nation and attack and kill the very people who fought and died at a 1,000-to-1 ratio to US troops because....he needed something to distract from his bad press situation at home. He is willing to kill by the thousands already and has SHOWN this. As impeachment draws nearer, I am terrified that he is going to launch nuclear weapons into Iran, North Korea or both before surrendering the office he stole.
Donald J. Trump is on the verge of moving from mass-murder approving asshole to downright genocidal madman if he is not stopped. The man has always been an existential threat to the USA, but he is becoming an existential threat to the planet now.

(296,076 posts)The end is nigh - the Con will not be part of the 2020 elections. Having watched the shitshow from day one, I'm now watching to see how it finally ends. In the meantime watching the deplorables inside and outside his administration jump ship is freaking delish!! Watching ore and more folks exposed and watching ReTHUGs sputter and chat utter crap before open mics is oh so funny and too good to miss.
