It feels like our country has totally been taken over by the mob or the mafia.

Trump has his mob affiliations with the cement companies. Makes you wonder who's buried in that cement. New Jersey, New York. History repeating itself on a larger scale. We need a democratic Eliot Ness.

rob the treasury. Putin is already mad that the US froze Russian Bank accounts because of their invasions and bombings of civilians. I think it's revenge. And Trump is infested with the disease of revenge. The love of money, which is the Biblical root of all evil, mixed with the disease of revenge is potent and dangerous when a sociopath like Trump works with a murderous psychopath like Putin.

I have felt like I have lead in my stomach for a month now. Half the country is insane; so proud to support this moron who ridicules them to their faces, and who acts out revenge fantasies for them. Maybe that's the attraction/

Yes, a criminal enterprise in a blink of an eye disgused as a politicial party highjacked our democracy.

And the stupids in this country brought the lies hook line and sinker.

What a strange co-incidence.
