The Republican Senators are the only thing that has kept him in power. Period. They are all enablers and complicit in this fiasco.
Dems should concentrate on Senate elections, not just on Trump.........

We had the presidency before, and the Republicans in the Senate obstructed every single thing he did. Getting rid of Trump doesn't begin to solve the problem/cause.

It doesn't get any more obvious as the days roll by.

I'm waiting for his head to explode during one of these worthless pressers he's holding. Sooner or later, someone is going to ask the question that does it.

is over and done. I don't think we will be anything like what we were before McConnell and Trump. The shitcan GOP now controls the gov't completely, SCOTUS just gave corporations the ability to funnell billions in cash to GOP candidates, and at the same time tried to lock out Democrats from voting in Wisconsin. Trump does what he wants when he wants regardless of the law and the GOP says 'way to go, dude'. I don't think there are any Senate approved members in the Cabinet any more. Thousands of Americans are dying and Trump is hawking snake oil and worrying more about how much money he can make than about the thousands of US Citizens are dying.

Trump and the GOP will do anything and everything in the power to reelect Trump, keep control of the Senate and maybe manage to get the House back as well, and the courts....well, they are pretty pretty much done for, since McConnell and the GOP has managed to pack them with right-wingers who have no interest in the Constitution.

And even through we are in the middle of a pandemic crisis, you have to kiss Trump's ass to get the medical supplies you need to keep Americans alive. And this is the country that somewhere around 50% of the voting population wants this form of Government.

My Country Tis of Thy People Are Dying (and the Federal Gov't doesn't give a damn!)

Even the most moronic and greedy among us must fall away in dismay as this disaster deepens and Trump's utter incompetency and corruption is fully visible.

But Trump is malignant. He is there, deeply entrenched and his destructive tendrils spreading everywhere.

It will be hard to stop.

Everything from Trump to McConnell to the GOP senate to governors and representatives, the Heritage Foundation, Koch Industries, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News... even down to the MAGAs who voted for him, they're all complicit in this. Not just by allowing his destructive behavior, but by encouraging it.

apparently tweeted that when this is over we must all, except for those who lost loved ones, forget about it. What he really meant was that we should forget about his fatal incompetence, his malignant narcissism, his lies, his pretending to be doctor, his putting his personal political fortunes ahead of of the national good, his lack of humanity and corruption that cost lives.
