elections have consequences and we are living the consequences placed on america by those who wouldn;t vote or voted 3rd party because they rather see real evil in the whitehouse than settle for the lesser of 2 evils

way way way more bad shit coming, this first 8 days is just the tip of the iceberg that will have a profound effect on america and our future

no time for handwringing...time to plan, contribute and take action for 2018 elections to take back congress....thats IS THE ONLY ReCOURSE we have
