I can't help but think where we started down the path of where we are now. A year ago, we had a Honorable Man, Barrack H. Obama has our leader and POTUS. No, things were not all hunky dory, but it was never this chaotic and brought to the brink of uncertainty with war, with a president under fire for colluding with Russia and the election for POTUS being manipulated. We are seeing those who followed Trump down that rabbit hole are afraid of what they do, say or if they disagree with Trump. He will turn against them. We have a president who condones White Nationalist, the KKK and a sheriff who violates peoples rights. We have a president who thinks women are nothing more than a piece of property, who makes fun of people who are in dire straits from a disaster, who criticizes people who try to protect their own people, who calls out people for not believing and think his views are only thing that matter, who has no idea what sympathy and empathy is. And not to boot, he has almost destroyed the legacies of our former presidents, by his actions and how he thinks he is above them all. I know if not for a few, who are trying to keep this country from a major incident, we all looking at a along road to stop a mad man from destroying this country. We have never been in a situation with so much chaos and confusion that we are lost for words on how to fix this after he is out of office. But than again, if he should be removed from office? The Vice President is a mini Trump! We need to start today on build a platform for the election and not wait! Our future is our and we should start now to take it back. Don't rely on GOP doing their jobs! We need to find them a new job and out of the Congress and the Senate!

I visited my 83 year old parents today. Both are completely sharp thinking (thank goodness), intelligent liberals. My mom was talking about how Kelley lied and was proven false by a video and she couldn't imagine how someone who is supposedly bright didn't realize that a video would likely expose his lies about a congresswoman. Meanwhile my dad couldn't fathom how any human being could be so ignorant to still believe and probably reelected the moron in chief. I explained that there is a specific type of person that loves a fascist bully and sent him this article that helped me understand how this could happen in the first place and could easily happen again.
