34. Only WE can save us!

Sat Jan 14, 2017, 01:22 PM

Jan 2017

I've always believed that any foreign powers' best chance to gain control of the US was to gain control of the Democratic Party! I say this because Democrats have always seemed more open and receptive to new ideas and people.

Well, next week, the head of our government will be a man who has been showing for the last several months that he has mental health issues. Trump will clearly be under the influence of a foreign power and the only ones fighting for us will be the outnumbered, overly polite Democrats... I don't feel good about our future as a nation, society with the republicans in charge of the executive, legislative and judicial branches. All free-thinking Americans are phucked now!

Republicans have no SHAME and no FEAR!
