Foreign leaders aren't the only ones tiring of trump's "tactics."

It only took a few weeks during the campaign, in 2015, for many of us to get tired of it.

Unfortunately that's a big part of it, at least until/unless we can abolish the Electoral College.

An entity that now overrides the verdict of the popular vote. It’s outlived its usefulness. And it is NOT fair. I’m sorry, but when the population of ONE city in California (Los Angeles) can “eat” the size of population of five states (including Iowa), I don’t think such a state should be kicked to the end of the line.

NOBODY is happier than I am that California moved its primary up. And I don’t even live in California anymore. Still, there are more people who stand to be affected by whatever goes on in Washington than ANY other state. Frankly, I still think California’s primary should go first.

They'll say it's deserved. "Well, they shouldn't be trying to come here.

It’s their own fault.”

Or they’ll say Obama did it.

Or they’ll blame it on the Democrats.

These pathetic deplorable weasels will come up with whatever excuse they need to, so as not to admit THEY helped make this happen.

And frankly, so did every one of us who...
1) didn’t bother to vote.
2) voted for some protest candidate.
3) believed what turned out to be Russian propaganda.
4) decided it was more important to “send a message.”
5) believed the lies and crap and character assassination of Hillary.
6) shrugged it off “‘cuz they’re all the same.”
7) thought we needed “a change.”
8) believe that trump was sent by some god.
9) thought it’d be cool (he’s a TV STAR!!!!).”
10) believed we need to “shake things up” or “blow it all up” or “burn it all down.”

Hope y’all are proud of what you’ve done. And unleashed - not only on this previously-already-great country but the entire world. We’re not great anymore. And he’s making sure that we have no friends. You seriously think Russia and Chiba are our “friends”???

Why so far in the future?

Why not THIS FUCKING WEEK, dammit!!!!???????

And I'll bet every last one of the CON apologists and trump-excusers

and all the assorted deplorables out there will loudly and proudly proclaim that they’re “pro-life.”

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
