SERIOUSLY. . . How long can this go on?

He's got almost ALL of the mainstream media calling him "unhinged" and using words like "meltdown."

WHEN in our country has this ever happened? Even though his fans like the idea of "fake" news", the MSM still holds ENORMOUS influence. . . .

How long will it be before Repigs start jumping ship to save their own skins?

I seriously don't think it will be long. This cannot continue. He is fucking CRAZY!

Even Republicans were supposedly texting John King during the "press conference" stating that Pussy Grabber needed to "tell it to a therapist."

So. . . What's next? I am on pins and needles! I'm at work and cannot stay away from the internet!

3. I just feel like we're waiting for the other shoe to drop. Not sure what it will be but it's coming.

Not even my Trumpster-loving friends and family are happy right now and are edgy. They're asking why there's been no talk at all about manufacturing jobs coming back, and they're growing increasingly concerned about the GOP's talk of axing Medicare and Social Security. They're hoping Trump stands by his word to block those efforts, but to me, they look wary. On top of that, the Russia ties and meddling has them spooked.

No offense to your family, but if they seriously thought that the selfish, spoiled, egotistical man-child would do ANYTHING for the working class, were dreaming. He has a Cabinet full of unqualified billionaires, who are only there because of their donations to his campaign. Paul Ryan stated (paraphrasing) "we are not worried about this Russia thing, we are working on repealing Obamacare". And it will not stop at that. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP, and any other social safety net program will be diminished or eliminated.

Betsy DeVos wants religion (Christianity) in schools and is a firm believer in "choice", which is just code for charter and cyber schools. She will not be happy until the Public School Systems are eliminated or totally useless. The dumber Americans are, the easier it is for the Religious Right to control them.

A good logical answer. Right now I don't have one.

I fear that he's useful to Ryan and McConnell as long as he can sign a document. So maybe 2024?
