He's not going to drop dead, or get shot, so I guess all we can do is tough it out. He is so full of hate for us all. He should be 25Ad, or impeached. So far, that one guy had the guts to draft his own impeachment articles, and read them aloud to the Congress. Nobody else. A few are speaking up: Schiff, Swalwel, Bernie, AOC...But, they need to try and impeach him now.

The NSC was where Bannon was appointed during rumpy's first term, until we complained so bitterly, and he was kicked off. I don't feel safe anymore. He's not doing all this to save money for his pockets. He's just bombing us to rubble. He's like a little kid, getting even. He's not capable of any other behavior.

I personally think that we don't have anything to prove in the department of "tough going." We can't survive 3.5 more years with this asshole in office. What are we gonna do?

I really think that the Not So Supreme Court set this up by their asshole decisions giving rump dictatorial powers. And he has evil people all around him.

Immigrants are NOT the enemy. Most of us know this. He has focused on them because he needed to provide false enemies so he could rally support.

The fucker deported a four-year-old child with cancer! And he let drug cartel families into our country after predicating that whole border wall crap, and the "invasion," on people just looking for a better life. He's a lying hypocrite. He deserves to be in jail.
