At this point it would be better if the Washington Post just folded and closed up shop for good. It’s no longer doing anything positive.

You don’t get to go along with this administration and then only decide to intervene when it starts to hurt your re-election campaign. To mimic George W Bush …. “Fuck it, we’re voting her out.”

Don’t worry. Human won’t do a thing until he get $50,000 in a brown paper bag.

We are trying to do that. At least the sane ones are. But we don’t have a similar governmental structure. The bar is very high to impeach and remove a sitting president. So all we can do is hopefully neuter him in November with the midterm elections. Who knows. Maybe nature will take its course. 😎

Our unions have been decimated and labor laws changed to favor employers. And many are living paycheck to paycheck and most healthcare comes through your job. We don’t have a national healthcare system and healthcare is privately run. Lose your job, lose your healthcare. Get sick and go bankrupt.

Sadly the republican majority is made possible by gerrymandered districts where the members are almost guaranteed reelection and they can ignore us. And the republicans are in bed with trump. We constitutional republic form of government doesn’t proved for elections at will. We have to wait to Nov.

We don’t have the same type of government. And the electoral college makes it possible for a person to win the presidency without having a majority. We don’t like trump either but until the mid term elections in November we are stuck with this asshole. And even then impeachment is unlikely.

It’s not all of us. We are doing our best to remove him. Just remember the German people didn’t get rid of Hitler. The Russian army did. But in our case the Russians are behind trump. So we are doing our best.

Of course he isn’t worried. It’s not his money. It’s his investors. He has already squirreled away billions for himself and insulated his own wealth. It’s always the little guys who suffer when the crap his the financial fan.

For me it’s not so much embarrassing as it is pitiful. The stupidity of half of the people is mind boggling. They allowed a know fraudster admitted sexual assaulted with a history of bankruptcies, cheating and lying and yet they still voted for this fucker … thrice. I just can’t understand why. 🤦♂️

My father did the same thing. When he finally passed we had dozens of books and framed pictures of birds. Plus he also took up wood carving and had dozens upon dozens of carved fowl. He and mom would travel miles away just to see specific breed at a late or nature park. He had lots of scopes too.

So many people in public life have been corrupted by the desire to have and hold on to power over any other motivation. There are no statesmen any more … only performers to long to be the star of the show … to have their name shown above the title.

Well, I don’t have much faith in David Stockman either. His BS trickle down theory is what got us into this mess in the first place.

It really is like Germany in the 1930s or Russia today here in the US. The oligarchs are running the country into the ground in order to gather more for themselves. When trump is gone, and he will be someday, we need to act like the French in 1945-Remember everyone who collaborated with the Nazis.

I agree that Venezuelans should decide their own fate. My point was presidents shouldn’t use public option to decide policy and instead do the right thing. In this case opinion matches correct policy. Be Harry Truman in a world of Donald Trumps.

So now our foreign policy is dictated by what is “popular” rather than what it right. Good fucking grief.

It sucked. Just imagine the beach landing scenes from the opening of Saving Private Ryan on a loop for three hours only with animated CGI characters and that’s Avatar Fire and Ash. Nothing but fighting, slaughtering, agonizing screams, loud explosions, brilliant flashes and people shouting orders.
