I refuse to blame someone for doing something they TOLD us they were gonna do.

I blame the people who overtly and indirectly gave him the power to do it.

It is not surprising that a liar has told 1200 lies in 6 months, it is not surprising that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell want to take away our SS and Medicare and food from poor people.

They TOLD us they wanted to do that!

If I tell you that I'm going to steal your car, and then I steal it, you wouldn't blame me? Why would my telling you beforehand relieve me of blame?

I had a co worker tell me after the election that Trump would make Medicare better. All I could do was stutter asking her if she had been listening to the Republicans for the last decade or so. What world was she living in. A work environment and just after the election. People at that point were mostly leaving me alone. But wow, the stupid.
