The right keeps saying we are just waiting and wanting Trump to fail

No

Trump has failed.

What we are waiting for is him to clean up his mess

That is not going to happen

So we are wanting a new President who knows how to be a President

As sick as I was that night, I really didn't think/believe it could be THIS bad!
Where I really f**ked up was thinking that we'd have a legislature that would be doing the "right thing" - not the "power/F-you" thing that Moscow Mitch McTurtle has been directing since, well, forever!

Yes, there are tons of ways to suppress hope, but it is our obligation to fight for it and do what we need to do to begin the LONG process of saving our country.

We have a job to do: GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!

distorting - if you want to know how they do it turn on limbaugh for a few minutes every now and then to hear a smorgasbord of prechewed bullshit and lies for every trumper teabag twit and radio host to repeat

all it would take is for dem and progressive leaders to pull their earpods out of their asses and stop ignoring talk radio

the really fucking stupid part is about 90 + universities continue to support 260 trump radio stations while their whiny students complain dems arent progressive or brave enough

The entire big money right-wing establishment was waiting with big guns loaded for which ever Rethug candidate won and we've now seen the consequences. These are almost entirely a group of very wealthy people the American public has never seen or even heard of.

Dozens of RW think tanks including ALEC, Heritage, Federalist Society along with the evangelicals and Russian oligarchs celebrated with one giant orgasm when he won and then insured he installed a staff and cabinet that would execute their grand plans: tax cuts, deregulation, further marginalization of the left and rigging more elections, to name a few.

We also give tRump far too much credit. He can't even execute an honest game of golf. For a while, he was their perfect goofy populist front man but now it's turning against them. They failed because they lost control of him.

I suspect the Russian oligarchs also lost control of Comrade Putin. He seems to be lying unusually low these days, and I doubt his fellow oligarchs are happy about the trillions of rubles they've lost under his leadership.

Lock him up.

We tried to prevent him and the MAGAts from injuring themselves and others.

We've done what we can to HELP them. Now it's on them and up to them to help themselves.

Except for the stockpile tRump has hoarded and kept away from blue states.

And it was blatantly obvious that he would fail during a crisis, unless he was very lucky and avoided it during his term.

He’s mentally lazy and only cares about himself, among other problems. Those are horrible traits for a supposed leader!

Remember when people in the media kept wondering when he’d drop the act and behave more Presidential? That was NEVER going to happen because he’s indeed the same prick from those election rallies!

There was no genius who was just playing politics, but rather a very flawed person who mostly repeated whatever crap he recently saw on FOX News. That was the “secret” of his political success... repeating stuff from the “right-wing bubble” of misinformation and hate!
