Have you ever tried to recall and count the number of times Trump did something or said something

that you were sure was so outrageous, so "over the top", so unAmerican that it would end his "career"?

He began as soon as he came down his escalator, characterizing most Mexican immigrants as criminals without any bit of substance or corroboration.

Shortly thereafter, we found out that those enthusiastic supporters wearing Trump tee shirts were paid actors.

"Grab 'em by the pussy!"

"Mexico will pay for the beautiful wall!"

Stormy.

The Muslim ban.

The Ukrainian extortion phone call.


Many, many more instances---too many to even attempt to list---where my reaction was "This is it! This will surely take him down!", yet nothing

.....Why didn't ....."this"...take him down?...Although complicated reasons (why this exists) the answer is rather
...........simple....very simple indeed....


.....At any given time..in the U.S.A. there are 20 to 25 percent Nazi/Fascists in our country.................

You cannot get rid of them, they are bred here, grow up here, have their own babies, and then, there are more of them.

.....I WISH THAT WE COULD GET RID OF THEM,..BUT THAT IS WHY THEY DON'T GET ..."TAKEN DOWN."

so, even if the number is as low as 18 percent, they don't go away...they bred....and stay around.......

.................and then they have their children, and they here and there &..........everywhere.............

definition bred,...... from Google internet:.........................................................................

..... to bring forth offspring...example:....... rabbits will breed very frequently unless they're kept separated .....................

Trump seems to get away with everything from rape to money laundering to coup attempt.

Attacking a blue star family I thought would be the last straw. How wrong I was.

The Scathing Atheist, which deals a lot with liberal, secular political policies. I've literally gone through 4 years in just over a month so I was reminded of things Trump did that I had completely forgotten because that's how he operates - start a new scandal to take the heat off an old one. Not only was I inundated with all his scandals, it also served as a reminder why conservatives were so willing to hypocritically support him. He was giving them what they wanted - more policy friend to Christians and conservative judges, yes, but also permission to finally hate freely.
