has had this huge say in the United States, in our country, and I won't accept his lame-ass, egotistic puppet as my president. Until tRump leaves office, I will never "be over it".

Living in Texas, many people I talk to have a "let's see what happens" attitude. I'll respond with "What in his cabinets picks make you think this will turn out well?". I would have given him a short break if he really surrounded himself with "smart" people. But no, he hired "yes men" choosing loyalty over ability. The Trump presidency is an absolute trainwreck for all Americans. But since the train has not technically left the tracks yet, people must see the carnage before they realize their mistake.

And that's why the First Amendment becomes our relentless battering ram to knock down this tower of Trump-Babble.

He can't stand up to the unrelenting humiliation for long.... he'll crack and in a move of complete irrationality, do something that even the deep-throats in the GOP can't swallow. So they'll oust his ass.

The next part is to constrain Pence in such a way that he's essentially a political gelding to finish out Rump's term.

We need to have complete and absolute chaos for the forseeable future. No reaching across the aisle, no trying to get along. Chaos until the bums are thrown out.

That doesn't change the fact that they are crazy, cherypicking Bible-thumpers---thumped into into incomprehensible bullshit--sickening for real Christian's everywhere, cling to their guns like mommy's teat, because they are chickenshits and always, always vote against their self interests. Stupid beyond belief, those people

Fancy; the BEST they could come up with is Donal Fucking Trump. I laugh my ass off every day at that

I despise the 'get over it' chant. That's all I heard after the 2000 debacle from colleagues in the office: "Get Over It."

I didn't. Not then and I sure as hell won't get over Trump, his ignorant spews and pathological lying. Tump cannot be normalized or ignored. Only resisted in any way, shape or manner we can muster.

First thing up? The Million Woman's March in DC. I'll be there with my daughter-in-law and friend. The trip was a Christmas gift from my oldest son, plane tickets, bail money not included. Once home, I plan to present myself at my local Democratic HQ and offer whatever services I have.

Because this cannot, will not stand if we all begin to push back. I am in fighting mode, something I plan to continue until Trump and his minions of deplorables are a bitter, distant memory.

of trolls on social media who defend d.ump.

I don't go to far right sites and leave comments and any Russian sympathizers who come on the liberal sites I follow get what they deserve.

I keep hammering that he is a traitor, a Putin Puppet, that. The hatred he spews is concerning, but the far right like that. I don't know how anybody can like that Putin helped d.ump in the election. And how they can live with a traitor in charge.

Hmm--traitor in charge is more accurate than Commander in Chief.

Donald J. Trump, you have been convicted of treason, sedition, election fraud and espionage. You shall be taken from this place to a place of execution and there hanged by the neck until you are dead.
