For the last three years, every damn day

I have been either repulsed, sickened, outraged or very confused by the abomination occupying our white house. Not just the deformed cheeto, the entire republican party. Today, I am terrified, for the lives of thousands of people in the mideast, and for the very future of our country and our world. I admire and respect our Democrats in Congress, but have no clue what remedy they have.

Of course, working within the law puts us at a disadvantage with the corrupt reTHUGS/cultists but
Impeachment is a good step. Keeping the investigations going is good too. Every day that passes
guarantees that the majority that favors tRUMP's removal increases and public opinion is a powerful
force. Now if we can guarantee a fair and secure election I'll sleep easier but so far the Democratic
Leadership hasn't disappointed me.

I cannot understand why others are not as repulsed by these bungling idiots as I am.

I want to hear someone say that he dropped dead or he has had an accidental overdose of polonium on his KFC.

that they feature Trump non-stop. He’s cheap to cover and extraordinarily compelling (in worship if you’re a fan, in horror if you’re not.)

We are truly screwed.

he is mentally draining. I remember Naomi Klein saying that when fascism takes hold it's mentally draining on people.

Impeachment and vote him out in the senate. This is their chance to rid themselves of this malignancy.

Trump could drop the bomb on the MAGAs and they'd be cheering every step of the way.
