Chickensoup's JournalThe shocking truth about the Trump presidency.
When this nightmare is finally over a shocking truth will remain clearly evident. Our system of government was not designed
to deal with a corrupt, immoral executive branch when it is protected by the same party controlling the legislative branch.
Our checks and balances simply fall apart. So when our president opens a hotel or a coffee shop next to the WH. we stand there like deer in the headlights. Norms are sufficient as long as the leaders are willing to follow them. But like in Trump case
when they do not, they have not broken any laws. Even our courts can seem helpless at times.
Now that Trump has opened the door to disregarding norms and the constitution, What are we going to do when smarter more dangerous more eloquent leader without Trump's baggage comes knocking at the White House doors and believe me it will happen.
We need laws to protect us and our democracy.
A simple question .
If a person manage to become president
of this great republic for the sole purpose
of destroying it and all the ideals it
stands for I figured he could not do
more harm than what Trump is doing.
Which begs the question why is Trump
doing this?
The difference between the killer of children Al Assad in Syria
and our leader who imprisons children is strikingly shrinking fast before our eyes and beyond comprehension.
It is a matter of a degree of unspeakable horror that no decent human being should embark upon.
make America great again?
Insanity as an official policy.
If you see something say something.
Ok then.
We see insanity. We see middle ages barbarism.
We recognize there is an immigration problem, but separating children from their parents is not the solution. Decent Americans from all walks of political persuasions are hitting back. Standing tall for what is right.
we do not need an apology 50 years from now for the treatment of these young children by a corrupt administration and shameful GOP.
yes, Yes, Yes we can all speak now in real time. This is a basic issue of minimum decency and ethical behavior befitting a superpower.
The man in the White House is continuing his wrecking ball destruction of our core principles and values and with it our standing in the world.
Is this making America great again?
Call it for what it is.
If you see something say something.
I am glad the 26 Jewish organizations and several churches
are saying it, it is immoral and against
the very basic ethical principles of
which we as nation will most likely issue an apology 50 years from now when it will be too late.
Time to take a stand.
We recognize there is an immigration problem, but
separating children from their parents is not the solution.
It is middle ages barbarism.
Call me crazy, Hillary Clinton for president in 2020.
I have been watching the Rachel Maddow Show on CNBC covering the Inspector General report. I am livid and saddened by the injustice done to Hillary Clinton. We all as a nation owe her an apology for actions taken by the Trump, the GOP and the media.
Call me crazy I do not care, but I believe that if she run for president she can win this time hands down and the nation will vote for her with the exception of the deplorables. I believe under her leadership with all we now know of this corrupt president and administration the Gop will suffer their worst defeat in history and they deserve it.
Think about it seriously !!!!!
I have a small brain and low IQ....help me with this puzzle.
kim Jong Un is rightfully portrayed as a ruthless leader who kill his own people.
Our own president on the other hand working hard with his own party to ultimately strip 40 million American ( his own people) from their health care without viable replacement. A fact that will lead to thousands of deaths form lack of health care.
Why Trump is not being called a ruthless leader who kills his own people albeit at a slower rate.
Congratulations! another badge of honor on the chest of this Administration.
UN Human Rights High Commissioner has asked the U.S. to immediately stop separating parents from their children at the boarder crossing as it violate international human rights (on MSNBC now.)
another possible NOBEL PRIZE for Trump...maybe?
Are the Democrats being aggressive enough to sweep to victory in the 2018 elections.
I feel the Democratic Party can do a lot more in standing up to
the Republicans . The Democrats seem to want to play it safe and not rock the boat.
as if these are normal times in our country’s history.
Hoping that the Republicans would make all the mistakes and fumble the ball.
But without offering a real alternatives, real solutions we fall short.Why offer ‘’A better deal”. Why not offer the
“BEST DEAL”. The American people deserve the best deal possible, not just a better deal!
I know I am being hard but these are serious Times and challenges that threaten our country's future and our way of life and the rule of law.
Some Democrats may think that they can somehow sway Trump supporters and the fox news
watchers away from trump.
Some believe that openly suggesting holding the president accountable
not, to mention impeachment, will doom their chances to win. Some even said if they push
harder in that direction it might split the country further. Well “breaking news” the country
is already split.
What we have, friends, is the most corrupt administration in American history.
The FBI and DOJ are attacked daily by presidential tweets.
The president himself has openly defied the constitution and the rule of law ,even thinks of
himself as above both. He is a constant Liar. He has divided the country. Split our Allies and
Nato. He is launching a global trade war using the carrot and stick against our neighbors and
allies and only the carrots toward our adversaries like Russia and China for example.
Our Allies are like family stood with us through thick and thin we should not threaten them, instead
We should find consensus that would benefit both sides .
Trump gave tax breaks to the richest 1% on the expenses of the middle and lower income
families. Millions are going off health insurance. Millions have to work low paying jobs some
have to work two jobs to make ends meet. I am one of them.
It is good for the Democratic Party to find good suitable candidates particularly women
to run for office and should continue and expand the grass root movement in finding and
registering voters. But why not following several roads and several strategies at the same time.
So the slogan “when they go low we go high” sounds great. At the same time we also should
follow another strategy that when they go low and lie we kick their butts.
Now the democrats can beat this corrupt reality TV administration along with the GOP party
that has abdicated its responsibility to be the checks and balance to the executive branch .
Time for actions. Time to be bold, loud, determined and courageous .
Our forefathers as well the coming generations expect that from us.
Our time is now to save the future.
I know some of you will not like what I am saying.
But my love of this great country and its entire people dictates it.
