Keep up the pressure, I don't think they can suspend elections. Remember that Trump did not even win the popular vote and is very unpopular early in his term.

if we had President Gore in 2000. Possibly no 9/11, definitely no Iraq War. National debt not blown up and out of control...

If he gets impeached or even if he loses re-election, I can see him trying to ignore those results/facts. Would that work? I hope not. But it would get very, very ugly.

When we had our version of Brexit happen and DU went down election night it was clear to me what was coming. It's just manifesting faster than I expected.

There is no attempt to hide it any longer because they are secure in knowing they will never lose another election again. Game over. America out.

I can see Trump launching a big air strike somewhere in the middle east, declaring it a HUGE success and then quitting for "health reasons" and saying he's going out a winner.

Trump will step down when any of the following occurs: at the end of his 2nd term, at the end of the first term if he chooses not to run again or is defeated in the 2020 election or if he is impeached.

If it's nice out, go for a walk, spend time with a pet, read a favorite book, do something fun.

Do anything but watch the news and spend all day on political discussion boards which are doing nothing right now except causing you stress and anxiety.
