These appointments just keep getting worse and worse...

If we don't take back the White House in 2020, this country is lost.



woooow...Patel is the former Nunes staffer who traveled to London in 2017—without the knowledge of the U.S. embassy or British government— in search of Christopher Steele. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/the-men-behind-the-nunes-memo/551825/

political concerns on repugs' part, and all will see how ignorant and their poor job skills have caused more insecurity for all Americans. As a result, Americans will overwhelmingly throw these idiots out of office. You think 2018 Nov. was bad...wait until Nov. 2020.

Every day Trump and his appointees are eroding our Democracy. They’re working too fast and are too underhanded. Now that Trump has managed to get the appointees who will finally do his bidding without question, whose only motivation is loyalty to him he is accelerating his Fascist agenda.

I am truly beginning to worry that another year and a half is just going to work in his favor to solidify the death of Democracy.

Our little experiment in Democracy will be a mere blip in human history. A failed system that lasted less than 300 years.

We are just too big to invade, and there is too much autonomy in each state. If Washington DC is taken over by the tyrant Trump that doesn’t necessarily mean all the country is his. Every state has the capacity to resist. I’m pretty sure the blue states would resist. It’s a headache but it can work. And there are more guns in this country than there are people.
