HOW. MANY. DAMN. TIMES. are we going to ask: "What in hell is it going to take?"

I won't wear you out by reciting ALL of the insane/corrupt/vulgar/sleazy/dangerous crap that. Trump has spewed onto our nation, onto our democracy, onto us. Just within the past few days---less than a week---he has dominated the evening news by virtue of: 1.) his lawsuit against a porn star attempting to prevent her from speaking about her sexual relationship with him which she says began just after his wife gave birth to their son; 2.) the former Playboy Playmate now suing one of his cronies in order to tell the world about the adulterous affair he had with HER; 3.) a court decision clearing the way for a THIRD woman to proceed with her slander lawsuit against him arising out of his denial of HER sexual assault accusation; 4.) his ignoring his foreign policy advisors' ALL CAPS admonishment NOT to congratulate Putin for winning a sham re-election and congratulating him anyway and then doubling down on his idiocy; and, finally (I think---the day's not over) he replaces McMaster with John (coo-coo-cachoo!) Bolton!

For those unaware, Bolton has long advocated bombing Iran and has recently discussed the pre-emptive use of nukes against North Korea. He seems to share some of the traits possessed by a prior mustachioed maniac, though that guy's stash was smaller and darker.

I don't really know how else to put it: if this isn't "beyond the pale", what will be? If this IS several bridges too far, why aren't our streets full of US demanding that he leave office?! Resignation--- 25th Amendment---impeachment---criminal conviction---don't care HOW as long as it happens SOON!

ON EDIT: I said "the day's not over". Just read that AG's of DC and Maryland are suing Trump for violating the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution!.

We have an uneducated electorate. They do not know about him and will not be learning about him until the first bomb is dropped.
