How long, tell me how long before the alarm bell rings that

[mfcorey1]

Donald Trump is a bigger threat to America than a nuclear bomb? Is there some kind of Act of Congress that can prevent him from taking office because of the threat that he poses? We are in danger! We are in danger! The script from the life of Adolph Hitler is being acted out on our soil. The last thing is the camps where all of us who oppose him will be sent as soon as he can get rid of the intelligence agencies. (Okay, Mfcorey1, come on back from the edge.)

1. It's not only Trump

It's the entire Republican Party, that threatens this country!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. Got that right. Unfortunately, under the leadership of Pres. Cheetoh Face, the country, like an alcoholic, will hafta hit rock bottom before it seeks recovery.

[YOHABLO]

3. and rock bottom would be ..........? Annihilation of major U.S.cities?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

4. I'm hoping the Rethugs will do the right thing - did I just say that? - and join with Dems to support impeaching the SOB before he does too much harm to the country...

Not likely, I know!

6. The coming Reichstag fire......

Bush used the World Trade Center attacks. Trumpolini will use maybe a North Korean attack?

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Not that there's far to go........

[VOX]

13. This scenario worries me; it's a way the shut down opposition...

...very quickly. And I can see Drumpf and his inept lieutenants making the population cower in fright, while they go off the rob the till. And remember the RW formula for success: "Privatize the income, but socialize the debt."

5. The underbelly of their party reveals scums seeking power

at any cost.

[barbtries]

12. that is the true story.

republicans are craven. horrible people with no morals whatsoever.

[Chasstev365]

7. The Trump threat to the world is very real

Not merely for is ignorance, but because he will be used as a puppet by Pence, McConnell, Ryan, & Valdimir Putin. That should terrify everyone!

8. there's also this-- his electoral college win was illegal

9. most of the country realizes it, the rest are in denial

[Cosmocat]

10. No, not even close

People here just don't get the math.

This country is split into thirds.

1/3 of us deal in facts, reality and decency.

1/3 are asshat Republicans.

1/3 are "indepedents" and those who are apolitical. These people either tune it all out and don't bother to vote or buy some aspect of Republican Bullshit. This group VERY clearly is willing to accept not only Trump, but Republicans being in power, because they either voted for him or them, or didn't vote.

This shit didn't start on November 8, Rs already had rather large margins of power in Congress and at the state level.

[Fast Walker 52]

14. I don't think indpendents are on Trump's side.... they don't like his crap

they just aren't fans of Dems either

[Cosmocat]

15. Its DONALD TRUMP

its pretty clear how horrific he is vs whatever mindless bullshit that people chew their cuds while mooing relative to the evil liberal boogyman.

Either way, however they get to it, the point stands.

That "middle" 1/3 breaks to stupid on steroids most often.

11. the alarm bells have been ringing long and loud.

and they still won. i was so distraught after the election that i got klonopin for the first time in my 61 years. but the thing is to get active. there are actually more of us and we, the people, do have the power. it's going to be ugly and i do believe it will get worse before it gets better, but the result of the republicans' first outrageous power grab and ethics violation got shot down BY THE PEOPLE. don't believe it was trump's tweet that changed the outcome of that ethics vote, it was the people and their phone calls.

now i must go to work.
