THE USA IS IMPOTENT!

We have a country where the President is an idiot and could lead us into WWIII and we can do nothing. He and his grifter family are operating their business from the WH (today we learned that Ivanka got license deals from China, then they had dinner), and we are helpless to do anything, but just watch this madness and endure it. We are the definition of impotence.

Right from the start when he started running and lying and knocking GOP idiots off the platform.

All we need is determination and persistence.

And numbers to back each other up for continuous
demonstrations and sit-ins at the capitol and the
Supreme Court.

Some get arrested. Others take their place.

There's always a large group every damm day.

But my point is, there really is no law, no action that we can take to stop this now. Our checks and balance system seem to have be trumped, so to speak. I went to our town hall meeting, and our congressman, Nadler, a real figure and smart man, in essence says there really is nothing legal we can do.

This whole thing reminds me of watching from afar on my security camera, criminals coming into my home and all I can do is watch the whole thing going down, feeling helpless to do anything. I could call the police, in this case congress, but they are in the back pockets and supporting the criminal actions.

Our government has no way to deal with this.
