You can't even write this stuff in a book... it isn't believable to the reader......

Villain commits crimes at will, tells Congress to go to hell, ignores lawfully issued orders, fires anyone that speaks out against him.... it just isn't believable as fiction because anyone reading it would say "someone would stop that!"

So we all just sit here, in the post truth era, in the post "no one is above the law" era, watching a madman rip the country to shreds and there is just nothing anyone can do but wait until the election, and HOPE that fixes the problem.............

the last 3+ years have sucked but the last week in particular....... when the GOP Senators committed the ultimate betrayal of our country and unleashed the full force of this monster................. has been particularly painful to watch

If he stays around another 4 years I think we will be going into a Dark Ages.

Women, minorities, immigrants, and the poor will have all their rights taken away.

Unless you are rich, you won’t be able to afford health care.

Huge income inequality. The middle class will disappear. Well have a few oligarchs and the rest of us will be serfs.

Religious control of schools.

Science study discouraged.

All environmental protections cancelled.

Oligarchs as our rulers.

we just won't be able to afford anything else. that's how they really want you.... too financially insecure to be to fight back. a person working paycheck to paycheck is one you control more easily.
