1. here

While Trump supporters blindly follow their leader without accepting the negative consequences of his presidency, there are millions of other Americans who see the truth.

One man named Tucker Benedict just penned a powerful open letter to Trump, and it is anything but fake news. Read Benedict’s full letter below, and click here to follow Tucker on social media.

Donald Trump,

My family immigrated to the United States of America on the third boat after the Mayflower. Our heritage precedes any records of Trumps, or Drumpfs, in America. Members of my family have served in every major conflict in US history with the exception of Iraq; your family cannot say the same. Yet, you continue to act as if you’ve sacrificed for the betterment of our country when the reality is: we don’t even know you’ve paid taxes half the time. Instead of acknowledging your past though, and honorably promising to change from a position of great entitlement, you accost service members you don’t care for, threaten democracy with attacks on the media, and worsen divides that threaten to tear America apart. Moreover, there’s a part of me that’s angry from a personal standpoint, my father founded the criminal division of the EPA, and was the senior environmental prosecutor in the country until 2014, and whose storied career began with work on Watergate. You’ve destroyed his life’s work in under 7 months, but I’m not writing this from a position of anger or even from a personal standpoint, I’m trying to speak for a great many Americans who are understandably frightened for the future; who feel they’re watching the degradation of our way of life. This letter isn’t about me, or my feelings, but it is intended for you, Mr. President.

There’s a storm coming and as our enemies around the world lick their chops watching the division within America, we continue to charge towards a future in which we tear ourselves apart. Many of us, yourself included, seem to have forgotten what it means to be American.

2. I know the name of the coming storm.

World War III.

More than likely it will start as a Middle Eastern war between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shi’a Iran. Then it will spread to other theaters.

That is my gut feeling right now. I’d put us in late 1913 right now, on the WW1 scale. Early 1938 on the WW2 one.

3. I think the name of the coming storm is...

Climate Change resulting in near term human extinction. That's the storm none of us will survive.

6. I just worry about the orange one

He needs a war to retain his position.
His finger is itching for that War Head heading for NK.
Grateful for the general who said they won’t do stupid things. Not sure they can control the moron in chief.
Now also worried about the Saudis remanding their people back from Lebanon. Still have a problem believing they will start a war with Iran.
My gut feeling is that if anybody starts Armageddon it will be our idiot.

5. And look: voter suppression

When I voted it was in a densely populated, urban sector of Philadelphia. There were four booths for hundreds of people; many of whom were elderly and couldn’t stand for hours. It was a very telling few hours.

There has been voter suppression all over the Philly area for years. GOP attorneys challenge voters just to create lines.

Would Hillary have lost without this voter suppression ? It's hard to know.

7. I just don't think this dotus gives one shit about any open letter, about any feelings...

about anything except making money and serving himself....that is it.

8. But, to preserve himself and his position he would have no problem with destroying the world

He is stupid! He will not understand that actions have consequences.
We, sadly, have to live with his idiocy.
