I know that a president with a (D) behind his/her name could not get away with what tRumputin gets away WITH on a daily basis. The thuglicans are party over country, and its been proven to a 100% certainty with the 2016 General Election, and the happening post the election. NO president with a (D) behind his/her name could dare get away with the sheer lack of knowledge, incompetency, willful ignorance and out and out LIES told on a monthly, weekly, daily or hourly rate. The corporate media mostly payed the email boogie to an incessant drumbeat where Hillary was concerned, yet all we mostly learned via those illegally obtained emails from FakiLeaks/rapist/putin-lover Assange was that John Podesta REALLY loves creamy risotto. You have what clearly appears to be collusion taking place between tRumputin and a foreign government russians whether some in the media and some of our fellow citizens (And I use the term loosely) want to believe it nor not. You have people who are racist who voted in their OWN worst interest, because the 44th president elected TWICE in landslides of an 8 year term had the nerve to be competent, intelligent and the first non-white male President of the United States: Pres. Barack Obama, although not perfect (NO one is), was guilty of nothing more than presidenting while black (Oh, and he had nerve bringing along a beautiful, intelligent accomplished caring wife, 2 beautiful, intelligent daughters and a loving and kind mother-in-law WITH him to the White House that "they" so desperately had to vote take back in part and give to a racist, treasonous, money-grubbing, incompetent, ignorant, lying, boorish, 300 lb gelatinous mass of smelly orange GOO, no matter how "bad" he was/is as a human being (And for sure I use the word human being extremely loosely when describing tRumputin).
I could go "ON and ON" as sung by Gladys Knight and the Pips from the 1974 hit movie soundtrack "Claudine," but your last paragraph sums up all and ties it up with a bow for all time @ NANCEGREGGS:
They will support, elect, and defend a pussy-grabbing, job outsourcing, mentally unhinged bigot/racist if it means chalking-up a “win” in their column – the well-being, safety and security of our country be damned. "If we had any doubts about that before, all doubts have been forever erased."
RACISM, HATRED and IGNORANCE of what is considered "different" by 35% literally tRumps all that should be one doing what's best for themselves & their families, even if they have little love for those who they see as "lesser" and "others." However, racism and any foundation that it was EVER built on came crashing down to the ground eventually because enough of us stood up in more modern times and fought for what was right (Ending Slavery & Nazism), and even though it's extremely disheartening at times to see our country have to go through what it is currently up close and personal (I'm half Native-American, so I have a particular ache in my heart), I still and center myself in a spiritual way and keep telling myself--even in my darkest moments of skepticism and anguish--that there are more of US than it is of THEM.
As a Democrat and as someone who is part of the "resistance," I have to keep saying this to myself, because to give into the alternative--not only for myself, but for humankind--would mean the end of it ALL.
