This is the beginnings of a Fascist state. We are losing because good people in government who are leaving because they cannot work for an unprincipled institution. Soon we will be in a state of war. Iran and Israel firing at each other just days after Trump announces end of the Iran nuclear agreement. Itll be a matter of time when we will be stepping in Bolton is just waiting for the pitch in this ball game.
Although South Korea and North Korea seems to play nicely. Would a dictator who killed thousands of his people including his family members ever want to give up that power? Hes a cat on the hunt. He ran out of resources and by pretending to play nice, he will have the advantage in the end, because he will have the military on his side. Lets not forget that once the US pulls out of SK, the South Koreans will need a different military to protect them from .. China or Russians?
South Korea wants to build a $35 billion high-speed railway to connect North Korea with the world - this is not good.
This sort of news, when you start putting it together cries out loudly, the loss of our democracy. I'm scared reading the news. We, as a group, are more aware of the issues while the media is watering is down or focusing on what they think will stimulate the public with Stormy news. The public are not considering real issues. Gas is going up but people are saying normal because of summer. Food prices are rising and people are saying it's because of the Mexicans. WTF!?? Friends, we know who voted for the self-gloating retard are keeping quiet and ignoring the news just because it's just noise. When the shit hits the fan, where will we be?

(3,617 posts)I can barely take it. The anxiety that I feel lately. The thought of Pence ever being president freaks me out. I guess it is a good thing I'm past child-bearing age.

(38,326 posts)If Trump is 100% on the creep-o-meter, hide the children, don't let him near your teenage daughters, then Pence is 110% past eleven on the creep-o-meter dial.
When I first heard of Pence, and I saw pictures of him, I assumed he was yet another 70+ year old fossil pervert. Typical old fart Republican.
When I discovered he was my age...
There's some very toxic shit in whatever closet Pence lives in.

(206,016 posts)Rolling back of auto emission standards, taking health care away from children (CHIP), allowing off shore drilling even though every governor of every coastal state opposes it, deportation of those who have lived for most of their lives in this country, all the arrests we're hearing about on bogus charges, now we're hearing that seniors on Medicaid in Louisiana will be evicted from nursing homes - each of these stories is like a punch in the gut! Does he want all of us to just die??
