The entire world is finished with Donald J Trump

but Trump keeps driving home that he wants him back in.

"International law prohibits the acquisition of part or all of another state's territory through coercion or force," the statement said. "To do so violates the principles upon which the international system is built. We condemn the illegal referendum held in Crimea in violation of Ukraine's constitution.

"We also strongly condemn Russia's illegal attempt to annex Crimea in contravention of international law and specific international obligations."

Witnessed that on several message boards after Trump won the electoral college (since DU was down). The main focus was "enjoying the lib tears", and acting like it didn't really matter who won except who made liberals the most upset.

Some people really do think the government is totally bad, so it doesn't matter who is in charge. Apparently their money just appears from magical money-fairies or something. And the economic system they think is far more important than government is completely dependent on government to operate at all.

It's stuff they've heard from Limbaugh and others like him for years, but they're too dumb to delve into the details and realize it makes no sense.

Heard him on a portable radio, with co-workers eating their lunches outside on a picnic table enjoying his ANGER.

They really didn't seem to care WHAT he was saying because they were poorly educated types who would love "The Jerry Springer Show" too.

I figured Limbaugh wouldn't be on the airwaves too long, since he was telling those same type of guys to fight against their own interests, but I was obviously wrong!

hosts as a "the model" of "conservatism". That, in itself is a misnomer as there is nothing "conservative" about these fascist bastards. Put Hannity, Dobbs, Hewitt, Savage, Ingraham, etc all in that category. I was heartened briefly when Air America was on, but the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine has led to the decline of liberal broadcast views despite their false claims of the "liberal media."

In some ways they're not, since they don't even try to honestly report.

I used to listen to Limbaugh once in a blue Moon, while driving somewhere, but the fact-checking got tiresome.

He'd often bring up something that made the Democrats look bad, but later fact-checking showed it was ALWAYS a deception.

Something like (paraphrasing), "They just passed such-and-such bill, folks!" (A truthful part.) "This is what it does! It sends YOUR tax dollars to the poor people of Egypt! Not to OUR poor, but to other poor people in a country that hates us, and which generates lots of income from selling oil to us! Do you know how much we're sending them?!" (Another truthful part.) "That's what the Democrats do, folks! They hate this country so much, they'd rather use OUR money and send it to our enemies!"

Fact-check results: It was money sent to Egypt, supported FAR more by Republicans, on the condition that it be used to buy weapons from our weapons manufacturers!

So it was basically a roundabout way to funnel more money into our military-industrial complex.

Ummm, NO! I have made it my lifelong goal to not do that. I am anti-hate, anti-conspiracy theory, anti-lying, anti-greed - and the list goes on. I believe that you become what you allow into your world, and Fox is never going to be part of mine.

On edit, I do reality fact checks using Fox from time to time just to remind me that I live in a sane world. I always come away with this feeling

I remember a DUer telling me a while back that the US does not have national protests
It only took less than four years of the Con for that to change. And these protests aren't just national - they are international.

Even footballers are protesting. Just look at Jadon

people of color. And this is not the first time we have had race riots in this country. Those of us who are old enough can remember the sixties. But President Obama had us pointed in the right direction. Now Trump has destroyed all that. Of course in his own perverted way, Trump relishes in this mayhem.

Behavior, Trump* will not resign.

At this moment, with the fall election still a beacon of hope and light, I am simply holding on for dear life.

11-03-2020 (which =9 in numerology ?)
We just need to make it to that day and keep sane.

Give it all we’ve got. I mean everything.

Hopefully we are successful on all 3 fronts.

Then at some point before January 20, 2021 ( Numerology 8) I would not be surprised if he disappears. Possibly he will jet off somewhere and try to avoid extradition back to the states. Alternatively, he will “fall ill” and Pence will take over.

But, hey, I’m just a sane Democrat who wants her country back to some normalcy. What do I know?

I'm sure the devil would feel quite cozy sitting next to him. But trump would probably get scared at the company. I wonder if he ever worries about the boomerang effects of his actions back onto himself.
