Extremism, corruption, incompetence, soon we will feel the results.

The republican party has been very lucky they have not paid a big price for their extremism and decisions they have been making. One day their luck is going to run out.

This tax bill is pure greed. They are hoping the economy improves for many years to cure all our problems. You can't predict what is going to happen in the world. A war could break out in the middle east, China could have economic problems. You don't know. Any economic downturn would send our debt through the roof. They are playing with fire.

The Republicans have supported Trump as he deregulates everything, which will lead to corruption. Watch the banks. Trump has shown great incompetence when it comes to our institutions, government agencies. He is hollowing them out. He is cutting their budgets. He puts people in charge who hate the agencies they are put in charge of. It's fucking crazy.

As we continue to watch the Trump freak show, as the news media continues to fail us, pressure is building inside a giant volcano. One day we will see the results. The American people are repeating the same mistakes over and over again. The American people need an attitude adjustment. We are behaving badly, we are being self destructive. Our culture has soured. We don't even protect our children from gun violence. Thats a sick culture.

I have been telling people for many years the only way America is going to straighten out is for the American people to get their asses kicked. Like back during the great depression. America will survive, the people just need a good ass kicking. Thats my opinion.

did. They think this is why America is so self centered, refuses to pass healthcare for all, is so violent, and refuses to take proper care of its citizens.
