This will catch up with him. Nothing anyone can say will convince me otherwise.
Unfortunately we are between intervals, and were #fakepresident to end his term in office now the successor would be as bad or worse. But make no mistake, WE, THE PEOPLE will rise up and put the radical right in its place. Yes, we will.

(7,725 posts)the standard for the leader of the free world is..."Only F up to the level your VP is despised?" Sorry. When you break the rules you pay. PERIOD. If the new guys worse...let the lesson continue. The But Pence thing already got us to this level. So messed up.

(11,746 posts)A lot of this stuff is disconcerting insofar as it suggests that the lying is working. It may be working, in the short run. In the long run it will fail.
I don't like the fact that Pence is next in line but that doesn't mean I advocate taking no action. There is no opportunity, right now. Republicans will not act, but WE, THE PEOPLE will have our opportunity.

Trump is a farce and a clear majority of Americans know it.

FIFTY-NINE PERCENT don't know about the INDICTMENTS!!!!!!!!!!
Insanity. That is the effect of GOP propaganda. Improve public debate so more Americans know the truth about the president and his approval will tank. TANK.

(17,984 posts)Some in the media are starting to catch on, and there is some backlash. We are not half-way through this term. If this lying continues, I foresee some major changes in the way the media handles liars. If this change does take place to a greater extent and across all media, then we could get a handle on the narrative and switch it around. That is me being cautiously optimistic.
The media will either get better, get worse, or stay the same. I think that may depend on our expectations.
