No matter what a President might do, including colluding with the enemy, there is no way to rid ourselves of him in our present divided government. He is able to use his Party for protection from the law and from the will of the American people. Even to the point of total destruction.
Our only choice seems to be to hold on until the next election and hope he doesn't blow up everything in the interim. The majority of the American people do not see him as honest or competent. But, they have no recourse in our system of government.
America must survive on faith. Faith that an unstable and reckless President will not destroy our nation. Even though, he has done great damage already. Much of the damage cannot be seen. It is to the psyche of our nation. All we can offer is: Keep the faith.

(7,638 posts)It just isn't pretty or without danger. America was founded on the ultimate recourse to a dictator and a corrupt government. People just aren't oppressed or angry enough. Yet.

(10,602 posts)All the evidence that keeps piling up shows Hillaryi actually won it. Even the electoral college was won. As far as I am concerned aLL the key states were overwhelmingly rigged. It is mathematically impossible that all the key states would fall for Trump by 1% or less just exactly like they did.
