This is what the OP stated:

How are the news media, Democrats in Congress, the people responding? Wow! That's bad, he's crazy. We better vote him out in November or we will be in big trouble.


I answered that all of the above are indeed doing more than simply fretting....

And what effect do you think any "nation wide movement" will have on the only one who can remove Trump - which would be Pence?

All the news organizations should be accusing Trump of Crimes Against Humanity because it's true.


Well, that's a specific charge, and generally is made by the UN, that Ohio rep notwithstanding. The legitimate free press has to abide by journalistic standards, but you can certainly find the emotionality you seek on OPEDs.

So, why is it that you think that "all the newspapers" aren't doing this daily, if indeed he is comitting crimes against humanity, as determined by international law? I remember the RW clamoring that Obama was 'violating the Constitution' on a daily basis, and could not understand why there wasn't a general outcry to charge him with this, and impeach.

Why do people believe that the free press and our reps are obligated to address and validate, on a daily basis, our personal anxieties concerning that which can't be fixed RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE?
