Any member of Congress or the Senate who does not act on this threat of WAR is just as guilty as Trump. He is demonstrating daily how UNFIT he is.

This is TREASON.

It is time to hold Trump and his unqualified administration accountable. Soon, he will come after all of us.

It's like ... they are doing whatever they can to take down the government. I mean, they're probably saying, "let's put in the most unqualified people in positions of power."

Enough already. 22 years old... give me a break. And WTF is with that eyebrow?

In times of uncertainty, I hope to be a beacon of hope, making a difference. During challenging times, the world needs us to shine, inspire, & lift others so they keep moving forward. Even in tough times, there are always opportunities to be a source of optimism and resilience.
