87. No, like Putin

A different breed of animal

The people saying "America won't be fooled by Russia again" are whistling past the graveyard.

He is the frontrunner for the GOP Presidential nomination.

Trump was a masterstroke by Putin, and remains the biggest threat to life as we have known it in the US ever posed from within our borders.

His remark about coming after those who try to stop him, and still walking around free serve the purpose of demonstrating that the judicial system is not going to stop him.

I am starting to believe it will take a plan and masterstroke of equal magnitude and audacity to put Trump and enablers down to where they can no longer operate.

What that would look like, I don't know, but I sure hope it's in the works.
