We're looking for "peaceful regime change" in our country. WTF?

When have Americans ever called the Presidency a regime? And when have we ever had a problem with transferring power from one president to another? Not even Bush v Gore, not even after the assassination of President Kennedy. What kind of autocratic hellhole does he think we're living in?

FUCK TRUMP

On edit: Talking about Trump's Wisconsin speech tonight.

He's not running for the Presidency. He's running for a dictatorship.

First, it was a hostile take over of the GOP. Now he is aiming for a hostile take over of the US. I don't doubt this for one minute.

And he wants to change that. Sounds like Manafort wrote his speech when he was working in Ukraine.

Maybe we liberal gun owners will get some love?

I own guns and I favor strict gun control laws. But I'll be damned if I only want right wing nut cases having them.

Plus, I really like venison.

His followers are too stupid to understand his total disregard for this country and that it means he would drag us into third world status while he sits, King Trump, in his hellishly gaudy gold mansion and blows shit up.

This is why he is so dangerous and needs to be defeated, crushed at the polls.
