2. Seems like Netanyahu is just as stupid as well.

psycho t-rump and his psycho base don't give a fuck about Israel nor it's capitol. Such was spouted at the latest rally of hate re: Armageddon.

GOPers are allowing this hatred to thrive. t-rump, his base, and the GOPs are ushering in WW3.

3. Vindictive is the word you are looking for.

Find a tRumpster and you'll see the definition of someone who is vindictive. They don't care if they're getting hurt too, so long as someone else is getting hurt. That's what gives their lives meaning.

5. Exactly...

... I have had to cut ties with several friends of mine since childhood. Every response from there has been a, "now it is happening to you, you understand what we felt with Obummer", and how it is a big hairy hee haw for them.

I reminded them to not let hate guide their decision making, and then it is, "oh, but we adopted two minority kids"...

7. That is it exactly. They stand for nothing positive, they only want to cause harm to their

"enemies". What a miserable, hateful group of people. The only thing that gives me solace is that I know that people who live this way are very unhappy themselves. Happy people don't behave this way.

4. It isn't Trump, it is Bannon...

... eternal chaos, or at least until the U.S. government is destroyed.

6. John Dean is not one of us

He was a Republican for many years until he broke with the party and became an independent. He's still a conservative however he has no interest in the "conservatism" that is in current fashion. (In other words he has nothing in common with the GOP as it is now.)

John Dean has an obvious hatred for Trump, and during W. Bush's two terms he advocated impeachment for W. So there's that. In his many writings since the Watergate hearings John Dean seems to admire the conservatism of Barry Goldwater more than anything. He thinks that Trump is destroying the Republican Party, and most of us would probably agree.

8. Bigotry and fear

trump logic and reason. It's why this country is doomed.
