After sober and dispassionate reflection I am not surprised by Trump's aberrant behavior today

[DemocratSinceBirth]

That doesn't mean I'm not alternately mad and sad. Over two and one half centuries of work down the drain.

1. Nope. Not surprised at all.

2. No it's not down the drain

Don't go hopeless on us. We are not powerless. Trump will be disparaged high and low all week. Called a traitor. Called weak. Called a liar. Called crazy. Never said a word about Crimea or the poison murders of journalists. Blamed his own national security folks. Disavowed his own intelligence agencies. Calling the EU an enemy. There will be more calls for impeachment, as he publicly aided and abetted the Russian attack by their military on our elections. We have witnessed the collusion between Trump and Putin. We may even see some high-level resignations this week.

So hang in there and keep the faith. The elections will be here in a mere 2 1/2 months. Practice patience and remember what ML King said about the arc of history being long, but always bending towards justice. Trump's treason will not stand.

3. And the poorly educated cheer and thank Putin
