We have a little over a month to decide if we want the country we all grew up in.

If the GOP thinks that they will be able somehow control 'President Trump' they are idiots. But if they are so enamored of the idea that they can somehow finally put their Conservative ideals in place. And what do you think is going to happen when Trump issues an Executive Order to censor the Press and SCOTUS says, no that's not Constitutional an Trump says, I don't agree and tells his DOJ and his Attorney General to ignore SCOTUS and execute the EO anyway? Or when he tells the INS to start fast-tracking deportations? Or when he decides to ignore the budget and tells the Treasury Secretary to spend money that hasn't been allocated? Or when Congress finally gets around to impeaching him and he refuses to vacate the Oval Office and declares that Congress doesn't have the authority and orders the Army to arrest members of Congress?

And remember, he doesn't need Intelligence Briefings, doesn't trust the CIA, doesn't trust the mainstream news, gets much of his 'information' from alternate news sites, and tweets about individual citizens. He gets petty over TV shows that make fun of him, even down to the actor who portrays him. But gets off on the fact that foreign leaders take his calls. He has no problem with using the US Government as his own cash cow and looks at being President as a part-time job.

If he assumes the mantle of the President of the United States we will never recover.
