by Elliot Hannon

You’re not wrong; today was the worst day yet. On Wednesday, the president of the United States made historic moves to recast the country as an angry, insular nation, one that recoils from the world around it and casts suspicion on those within and without. This is the America Donald Trump envisoned; this is the America he campaigned on; this is the country he's delivering. Here's what happened on the worst day in Trump's America so far.
Voter Fraud Sham—Today, the president of the United States rolled out of bed and called for a “major investigation” into non-existent voter fraud.

The Wall to Nowhere—Today, President Trump signed an order directing the Department of Homeland Security to build a wall along the border with Mexico.

Immigrants as Criminals—Today, we learned that part of America's new anti-immigration strategy will be a weekly published report of “a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens.”

snip - it goes on much more and ends with

"It was a dark day"

By the way....Trump is bat shit crazy insane. Dangerously so, obviously.

1. Read this post. It's actually great, and will give you hope.

Though I would add to that advice: keep marching, keep calling your senators, do everything you can think of to do, and after you have done that, don't let the asshole freak you out.

2. Cheer up.

3. I feel strangely bouyed up.

I just try to meet my daily goal of calling or e-mailing about one deplorable nominee a day. I don't turn on the TV or even my formerly beloved NPRadio. I feel like a person with a mission and I don't think of the ugly reality behind the mission.

This is new in the past day or so. Previously I was thunderstruck and bewildered.

4. well done.

6. Good for you!

I am a news hound and have been for awhile, but you care and are doing good. I imagine you are smarter than I am!

11. I need to take lessons from you

I watch the news 24/7. I post on FB. I'm buried in black sites, torture, vote fraud, or whatever else can happen in just one day. Four days that feel like an eternity and I know I can't go on this way. Can someone just make Cliff Notes at the end of each day and an assignment for who to call or write the next day? I'm serious. I don't think I will last much longer, yet I feel this need to be vigilent.

5. Maybe tomorrow will be worser {sic}.

I hope so. And so nice to see you posting here again! Scary times, I know.

8. I too am now seeing him

.....as positively insane. I think he's on the pathological end of paranoid. Which is really dangerous.

And BTW---I think he sees us, the protesters, as one of his "enemies".

9. They'll probably slip him a relaxing mickey into his morning oatmeal.

Per Putin's demands.

10. worst day since yesterday...

[Merlot]

12. So they're finally admiting aliens are among us

"actions committed by aliens"

By the way...drumptf is not bat shit crazy insane - but the republican policies are.

[LudwigPastorius]

13. He is trying to shape America into a mirror image of his id,...

racist, paranoid, greedy, cruel, and deeply, fearfully insecure.


We will not let you do that to our country, you orange, bloated shitheel.

Resist.
