Please flood the White House comment line and speak to an operator - 1 202 456-1111, and let Trump know you are appalled (I hope) at his actions in Venezuela.

My comments included that MLK, Jr is one of my heroes & I will engage in non-violent protests, and third time is charm for impeachment.

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.

When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

The 2016 Access Hollywood tape let us know who Trump is - “I can grab women by the …they let me cause I’m a star.” Except women didn’t ‘let him.’ They fought back.

Remember his words when you listen to news of the Epstein files.

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes?

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Trump is such a psychological weakling, he must need to lie to himself as much as to everyone about everything.

From now on, political scientists will need to study psychology as well as history,current events, global migration,etc.

Trump is a malignant, narcissistic personality disordered person.
