It's still hard for me to believe that we've somehow come to this.

Watching spittle fly out of the clown's mouth while he points fingers and accuses and namecalls and lies on the White House lawn- just another weekday in the new America- I can only shake my head. This state of affairs is an enormous fuckup coming from within the very fabric of our universe.

The unreality of his presidency keeps me believing that someday, somehow it's going to come out that his election was even less legitimate than we already know it to be. It will come out that, even under the ridiculous terms that got him elected- losing the popular vote, being helped by Russia in multiple ways, all while he claimed the election was rigged- he still should have lost. There has to be some even bigger lie or mistake related to the election at work here. This ridiculous shit simply could never have been meant to be.

exposed con-man. tRump, is probably the greatest con-artist ever ... and they are too damn stupid to get it. Each day they get swindled by tRump, more and more, and say thank you. What an outright bunch of stooges.

Lost popular vote...
Guilty of contacts with Russians and not declining their help...
Russians stole e-mails and leaked via Wikileaks on schedule helpful to Drumpf...
Voting "irregularities" are noted in some states already - very scant details allowed out though (FLA.)...
3 states, 79,000 votes needed to be "flipped" to give Trump the White House...

Do the math and repeat after me - Trump is an illegitimate "president". (He LOVES that!)

or even totally unaware of, your 'bill of particulars'. Then there is the vague feeling of Demcrats say v. trump say - wo what else is new?

[The 'trend' is going against traitortrump, and will continue to do so . . . unless Dems mess up, or putin able to put a fix in enough places].

I sure hope you are right that Trump's election was just an anomoly, a one time freakish event, but I worry it may be more. To me that may be the most scary thing about his presidency. It could easily be repeated.

Fueled by a lust for power and/or money, political corruption in this country has been building for some time--9/8/1974 is as good a starting date as any--and it has gone largely unremarked and unchecked.

So now here we are.
