After listening to Mary Trump on the Maddow Show.. I am truly worried

[Peacetrain]

if we are going to survive this President. We have a sadistic, disturbed person heading up the most powerful nation in the world.. (at least it was when he came into office.. who knows what he has given to the Russians, Chinese, North Koreans et al...

When Rachael asked if she was worried about her personal safety.. she was serious. After listening to her (Mary Trump) tell the tale of that truly abusive dysfunctional family.. I am worried for her.

We are in the deep stuff folks.. we truly are.

1. While I don't want to seem cavalier

about Mary Trump's personal safety, this book is now out there. And nothing can change that.

[Peacetrain]

2. That is true.. and hubby just said

that being that bold and out there might actually keep her safe.

4. Not from stochastic terrorism

Some deluded cultist might snap

6. I am inclined to think that's true.

Every time I see where someone is afraid to go public with some kind of information, I always think, NO! Go public. The more people that know the safer you are.

12. That wouldnt keep her safe from a monster like Trump

or his psychotic followers

3. Trump didn't know what he could get away with when he took office

He actually asked Obama how many members of the White House staff he could replace. Early in office he didn't know he could manipulate the justice department to this extreme, nor hire a crony to steer the post office.

And so forth. A million so forths. Now he's gaining in knowledge and disdain. Second term would be Roy Cohn on every steroid

5. Some of the things he's doing now are things he might not have gotten away with early on

To some extent, he has to pave the way for this level of corruption. I don't think he could have killed the mueller investigation much earlier, for instance.

He's also liberated by having been impeached and acquitted, as no one is likely to seriously consider impeaching him a second time, even though he fully deserves it. Also, the fact that the election is in November and even the fact that he seems likely to lose actually free him to do even worse things.

But I certainly agree that a second term would be horrific.

8. ...seriously consider impeaching him a second time

I believe Trump and she-trump are trolling the American people and the Democrats by advertising beans from the White House.

They both know this is illegal. Why do it? Does he think a second impeachment will benefit him politically>

7. let's be clear, this book like all others would not change any minds

10. Exactly this ...

I don't believe in fate but I worry that fate is between us and November 3rd.

11. Yes, we ARE in deep stuff. Let's remember one thing, please.

We must stick together. We must help each other. We must speak as one voice. We must vote.

And if Trump tries to steal the election again, we cannot afford to be silent. I don’t want nor do I propose anarchy, but good grief, at some point, we must fight back for our very existence.
