We are living in INSANE TIMES.

DESPITE THERE BEING OVER 210,000 dead Americans, Trump is slaughtering people not with a gun on 5th Avenue but on the every day streets of the United States... Millions HAVE COVID-19. MILLIONS!!. AND yet he and his Republican cronies want people to go bout their business even if they die in the streets ....

He should have never been President. Hillary should have been President, but for our ELECTORAL college system to allow this asshole to basically without impunity, murder people by telling them its all going to go away, just go about your business. This is MANSLAUGHTER on a scene that even TED BUNDY would admire.. Hitler may have killed 6 million jews, but Trump has killed 210,000 Americans because he wants to be a fucking KING.


Emperor Orange ASSHOLE HAS TO GO! He has to pay for his crimes, his financial as well as the HUMAN TOLL because of this presidency.

There are several things I’d like to see changed, among them the electoral college. But I’d like to see the time span of running to be much shorter, like 6 months or something. And of course I’d like to see that interpretation that corporations are people struck down.

PRESIDENT is not on the same level OR POWER as FUCKING KING OR EMPEROR! HE should be on the same level as any US Citizen in that if he or she commits a crime, they should pay for it like any NORMAL American.


THEY ARE NOT ABOVE THE FUCKING LAW!

We have people living amongst us who will fall for even the most absurd thing you could imagine. They will probably go out in public and declare their stupidity. They are incredibly easy to manipulate.

THEY DON'T BELIEVE in Science... and their Religion is all that matters to them, forcing it down the throat of people who may not believe in God at all or have other concepts going!

For many I really think their was just too much change too fast. They flipped out and manipulators were ready to pounce.
They’ve been told to hate smart people for a long time. Science is smart people.
They don’t have to listen to no one. They collectively reject authority in exactly the same way as everyone else in that world.

Their religion tells them the world was created for them. Not even close to joking, sadly.

They are racists, first & foremost They "need" someone or something to project their own inadequacies onto. Scapegiating people of color, immigrants, lgbtq, women, liberals, etc.

This needs to stop. Right. Now!

Encouraging the spread of illness to kill off "unwanteds" is as American as sending smallpox-covered blankets to Native Americans. It's a war crime, what he's doing.
