I see so much discussion today about the seriousness of electing that POS

Man, it's way too late now.

But with this classified document fiasco, suddenly everybody realizes how absolutely stupid America was to elect that motherfucker.

Only now do people realize what a colossal mistake that was?

Impeachment x 2 but Republicans blocked every logical move for their own self interest.

Republicans continue to empower this POS.

Seriously, 40 years from now they'll be uncovering new ways Trump betrayed our security interests for personal gain.

from Qatar for bailing him out of debt on 666 Fifth Ave. And Ivanka did ok too with business deal and copyrights from China.

It's nothing but a crime family grifting whenever and however and the repubs just look the other way.

We on the Dem side realize what a colossal danger this clown has been from the get go. So the moderate GOP people probably figured this guy out by now and with these revelations coming up recently, even more so. So I think his chance of even getting the nomination are slim and none when it comes down to it. That said we know he wants to become a modern-day terrible megalomaniac dictator in the mold of Hitler,Stalin, Saddam etc. so we know he’ll never stop pushing for that as long as there’s any possibility he can get back in.

His chances of getting back in are not great at all so I wouldn’t be worried about that too much right now. The bigger issue is the Republican Congress and other elected officials that have gotten so much in lock step with this asshole that we hope the day will start to come soon, when the GOP moves to the center in their thinking and not this wild ass crazy extreme right wing nonsense.

... to no longer believe that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

He was an absolutely horrible person, but he wasn't an ally of Muslim fundamentalists at all. It made no sense for him to be in cahoots with someone like Osama Bin Laden, who would've gleefully tried to replace Hussein with a Muslim religious nut.

But thanks to right-wing propagandists like Fox News and talk radio hosts at the time, nearly 70% of Americans polled two years after 9/11 thought Hussein was behind it.

Trump is an obvious con man and narcissist who only cares about himself, but too many Americans couldn't recognize him for what he is either. For crying out loud, his strongest supporters acted like he WAS the USA... the human embodiment of everything that's good about this country. (Similar to how Nazis worshipped Hitler in Germany, as he lead them to their own demise.)

And that was completely unmentioned by our media still claiming the Russia collusion is false and accepting it as a fact
