What are we going to do about the fact our president elect is in cahoots with Vladimir Putin?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I know the Deplorables are enamored with Putin and Trump but I can't believe a majority of my fellow Americans are. To believe that is to give up all hope.

1. demand he release his taxes, and never let anyone forget what a treasonous pice of shit he is

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. We are never going to see his taxes.

[physioex]

2. Let em sort it out.....

This is going to crack the party.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. Putin really is a bad guy.

He went from out of a job to president to amassing a forty billion dollar fortune by killing his political opponents, cracking down on dissent, and scapegoating glbtq people.

[physioex]

16. Preaching to the Choir...

Sorry but our party isn't in power, let the Republicans take care of this.

[Trust Buster]

4. We should hang a wreath of "Russian Appeasers" around the Republicans necks and never let them

live it down. As long as we are stuck with "play doh for brains", we must damage the Republican brand every day he is in office. Exact a price for their support of hate.

The red party.

6. Why do I have this sick, sinking feeling that there is no way this will end well.

I wish I could be more optimistic.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. I hope Trump's Fourth Reich doesn't end the way the third one did.

[smirkymonkey]

8. It won't look exactly the same, but I think those who dismiss the power this man has

to create great misery in the world are sorely mistaken. It is happening again, just in a different way.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. I don't know what to say.

He is the first president to openly show contempt for pluralism, democratic norms, due process, and the rule of law. I know hate is wrong but I hate the people who saddled our nation with this man.

[smirkymonkey]

15. You are not alone in your feelings.

He has brought out the worst in all of us I am afraid.

[hadEnuf]

9. I think we all need to face the fact

that these people are not going to go away quietly what- so -ever.

[CanonRay]

14. I'm with you. I'm getting nothing but bad vibes

from the universe. And a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Not much we can do-- keep putting the pressure on...

but getting out there and joining organizations fighting him is one good place to start.

Stop whining on the internet and throw every extra penny you got at Planned Parenthood, ACLU, FCNL, EFF... They don't read DU, but they do know how to get White house attention and win lawsuits.

I don't care how rightwing your congresscritter is, get together and form a critical mass to get his attention. and maybe throw him out. If he or she is OK, let them know you got their backs.

Even the worst congressional asshole can count, or has staff that can-- and if his mail is going one way, he just might adapt.

12. When

the Democratic party calls for donations I tell them NOT 1 dime until I see them stand up to trump. Not 1 dime until they call out the hacking and actually do something about it. They can plead all they want, not 1 dime

[JustAnotherGen]

13. Resist and take our country back in 2018

Commie Lovers are deplorable.

[ronnie624]

20. Where do you come up with this "Commie" nonsense?

Posts here are becoming increasingly irrational.

[JustAnotherGen]

21. With all due respect

NUNYA.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Putin is not a communist. He is an authoritarian.

The bottom line is he got rich by taking tributes from companies that want to do business in Russia, persecutes his glbtq citizens, bullies his much smaller neighbors, threatens and kills his political opponents if necessary, and works to undermine liberal democracies.

He is a horrible role model for our president. Tony Soprano would be a better one. At least Tony largely left "civilians" alone.


I think my assessment is fair.

[Greybnk48]

17. AND by association and approval, so is Pence

Paul Ayn Ryan, and Mitch McConnell and every Republican POS that's gone on T.V. this past couple of weeks defending his defection. They are all in it together now.
