Just checking to make sure that you realize we are allowing an illegitimate psycho

To walk in and take over America.

Between the Russian hacks, the miscounted votes, the voter suppression, the FBI ploy, his multiple lawsuits, suspected fraud, assaults on women, and losing the popular vote to boot, there is no way this maniac should be allowed to serve as "our" President.

On Nov. 21, 1922, The New York Times gave its readers their first glimpse of Hitler, in a profile that got a lot of things right — its description of his ability to work a crowd into a fever pitch, ready then and there to stage a coup, presaged his unsuccessful beer hall putsch less than a year later. But the article also got one crucial point very wrong — despite what “several reliable, well-informed sources” told The Times in the third paragraph from the bottom, his anti-Semitism was every bit as genuine and violent as it sounded:

Der Spiegel warned us about trump in Jan 2016.. drumpf has told us by his actions who he is.. best to believe that much from him.

with every tweet, announcement and pathetic cabinet appointment.
Seriously doubt we can can stop the inauguration. Just hope that some in the Republican Party are sane enough to modify the worst of the damage that will occur.

His cabinet picks are being vetted, though. I'm just waiting for the falling out between the sectarian conservative factions that are nominally aligned. Pence and his backers aren't the only group that's trying to pick the National pockets through this so-called businessman.

Let's see...There's -

Trump's own family (mainly, Kushner and Imelda, errr, Ivanka)
Pence and his master the Koch/Birchers
Lobbyist Republicans (in it for the money)
Chamber of Commerce Conservatives (Anti-Union, Anti-Regulation)
Media Moguls/Click-bait Chasers/professional contrarians and conspiracy bloviators
Monopolists
Military Industrial Complex
Federalists
Libertarians
Neo-Liberals
Neo-Conservatives
Nazis/White Supremacists
The Seven Mountains Dominionists/Oathkeepers
Zionists/Anti-Islamics
End-Timers
And Various sub-groups of single-issue "Anti-Rights/Rights" advocates (including climate denialists, anti-choice, gun rights, states rights).

All together in an uneasy alliance behind a historically narcissistic permanently thirteen year old playboy clown who never left his own reality cocoon in his life, and after 70 years, isn't about to start thinking.
Eventually, they're going to start peeling off and fighting each other over who is able to be the last person to get to him to further their own agendas whenever it's time to tweet or sign something official.

boundaries of civilized society? His appointment of military and Hitler rallies are beyond the pale, but what is one to do? They've cheated him in and there is no revolt, just more suppression of the revelation of the cheat. So again, I ask you what is one to do?

Who would become "the Allies" this time? Who could come to our rescue like we did for the oppressed in WWII? Who could go against the might of the US military to save the world from tyranny? Who? This makes my blood run cold. Apparently, WE, those of us who can actually SEE what is happening, are all that stands between the world and this horror. Which of us will step forward to lead us out of this disaster? Who has the power to do this? Who will STOP this? I feel so helpless and hopeless. And my despair grows with each passing day. I know that I will stand up. I will tell the Balrog that he may not pass. But I am not enough. I know there are those who would stand with me. But are we enough? Someone, some group of someones, needs to put this fire out NOW, before it gains the power to become an inferno. That is the only way out that I see... who can, who will STOP this now, before it is too late?

I and one of my best friends are planning on being in Washington for the big Women's March and to just keep resisting. He is not our president and never will be.

The mouth foamers, the Neo Nazis, they got their guy but the white working class folks will soon regret voting for this crazy tyrant.

Resist, and keep resisting!
