We are living in a world gone mad.

What kind of monster is Trump and what is wrong with the republican party. Is there some kind of plan in his madness. He has kidnapped over two thousand young children with not one ounce of accountability. He did this under cover of the law.

We are a very sick country and we need to start realizing this and putting a stop to him and his partners in crime before we reach the point of no return.

I am afraid for November, nothing is off the charts anymore, trump is partnering with putin;

Imagine if one went into coma before 2016 election and woke up today.

They will never purge this taint. It will be with them forever. They own him.

A legal definition is explained as thus....

To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant's conduct must be 'so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime.

literally do not see that these people as human.

Think about it. When Katrina hit, hardly any attention was given to the animals -- pets -- affected. Some people refused to go with rescuers unless they could take their pets, and after that the consciousness of the importance of pets was elevated in most disaster response thinking and planning so that more attention and assistance goes to the pets along with evacuees and rescuees.

But these people, including these children, are being treated with even less respect and dignity. WE TREAT PETS better than we're treating these children.

They quite simply are not fully human to the cruel and brutal fascists running this show.

Civil war. A very real one with the country being torn apart. I only thank the gods that it isn’t a war like they’re having in Syria.

There may be no bombs and tanks and blood in the streets, but it’s a very real struggle for what we will be as a country in the very near future.

Our next election will decide one way or the other which fork of the road we choose. But if we win it’s still going to take a few more elections to right this ship.

We must try to avoid Trump or anyone else becoming dictator.

I’m totally serious. Our Democracy is in danger.
