66. Trump is just the rotten cherry on the poop sundae...

Wed May 10, 2017, 11:00 PM

May 2017

that is the Republican party. He is no more an enemy than Nixon (Watergate, secret negotiations with Vietnam, abandoning 1700 POWs, election rigging), Ford (pardoned Nixon), Reagan (secret negotiations with Iran, policies to favor the wealthy), Bush I (father tried to overthrow FDR, complicit with Reagan, cowardice in not helping Russia the first winter that communism fell [or to keep that ever present bogie man so $$$ flow], Bush 2 (heck with Trump, he now seems normal, but starting 2 wars with the wrong countries, allowing 9/11, "Clean Skies", "Healthy Forests, etc.)
Our country was founded on equal opportunity and the royalists, Tories, alt-right or whatever you want to call them have re-invented the monarchy with inherited wealth that is to rule us all if the boot-licking cowardly right gets it's way.
