A giant wave is about to hit this country, and we've missed our last chance to stop it. Now it has to break on its own. I hope as many of us as possible can get out of its destructive path.

Happened to other countries in the past. Now it's happening to us.

Obama just left us to our own devices.

He is leaving the country to a demented group of
greedy scumbag, incompetent sociopaths while
telling Dems how to win elections the way he did
by using the fifty-state/every-county strategy
when we all know how he deliberately scuttled
Howard Dean and the fifty-state strategy, with
the result that the DNC has been in the wrong
hands ever since.

And he let James Comey off the hook completely.

Words fail, and his sure did.

that Comey sent that letter to sway the election away from Clinton.

Obama knows that. He probably can't openly condemn his actions as POTUS.

"Now once they (are) elected, having the responsibility, then they have to carry their cooperation, their work, according (to) reality,” he told reporters. “So I have no worries.”

Reality? The dangerous reality is that tRump and his cronies care about how they can gain even more wealth and power and little else. They have shown themselves to have no regard for the implicit limitations of honor and duty.

Hell, forget the unspoken restraints--they don't give a shit about the law or the Constitution. To see this as business as usual is ludicrous!

7. Indeed. No one from the party has stood up for the millions of Dems who voted this year.

The closest anyone has come has been Harry Reid and he has less than three weeks remaining in his term. Apart from a few left-leaning journalists and media figures, no one is speaking in support of or for average Americans and Democrats. It's pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Join your local Party organization and get involved in the hard work.

Or grumble on an on-line forum.
