Could you even begin to imagine the outrage if a democratic president did shit like that!?
And still he rests easy in the white house knowing that no one is gonna do a damn thing to stop him or his crime family!
The damn news media will move right on and cover for him like always.

What do you think that the Democrats in the house are doing right now? We just got the House back, and it was shut down for the first month, FFS. Watergate took two years, FYI. Dem leaders are investigating on several different fronts because they have to have evidence of crimes committed while in office before even starting to impeach.. Not to mention the Mueller investigation and the NY AG are working on cases.
But sure....
I can safely say that dissing our own isn't going to change anything for the better.

He goes on to reference Candace Owens: The person who has influenced me above all is Candace Owens. Owens is an outspoken US pro-Trump activist known for her criticism of Black Lives Matter and of Democratic Party.

(6,133 posts)So it is up to us to push back, because Trump is one empty vessel with only love for him, adore him, and back him him in his retribution of all those against him.
Right wing terrorist all over the world love him.

The old concept of human dignity and freedom, as well as the value of human life has well and truly gone away.
Those who feel superior to others because of different gender, age, skin colour, ethnic grouping and religious differences, are now encouraged.
The seething resentment of some low brow, low tolerance individuals I now coming out in the open.
Because . . . 'Trump said it was OK.'
Trump took 2 or 3 years to create the mess. It will take decades to clean it up.
