They fail, we succeed. Their agenda is so fucked up that it hurts most people. Slowing things down with the division is helpful. It would be laughable if it wasn't so sad how weak and pathetic this administration is.

I can't imagine anything closer to rock bottom than a Trump administration. It has to get better from here.

Trump is like a contagious disease. He has to run his course until he turns the GOP or the populace against him.

As usual a Democrat is going to have to come in and clean up the mess, but we have been there before.

But yes, it's sad but our survival kind of depends on their failure.

He is just putting a figurehead there. He knows he'll never listen to a thing she says.
