Donald Trump is slowly destroying the United States!

You can feel it all around you. The moral fibre, the ideals, the institutions like the FBI are all being sapped of their strength by Trump and his GOP allies.

The average Republican closes his eyes and pretends all is well.

Putin has a big smile on his face and will put the icing on the cake come next November.

There is something so surreal about it all. How did things get so bad so fast? How can so many people be ok with the way things are? How can ANYBODY think Donald Trump is anything other than a stupid, vulgar, narcissistic, repulsive, incompetent, racist, raging asshole? It's total insanity!

...and I think the Russians have dirt on a whole mess of conservative politicians and public figures (Rush Limbaugh, for instance - I think he's been used to undermine America for years).

"Get him elected, and the US is ours"

"he is stupid and easy"

"He cares for nothing or anyone but money"

The United States is not being destroyed by Donald Trump. He is incompetent.

The people doing the real damage are Congressional Republicans.

I think he’s doing it rather quickly, with lots of accomplices. It’s sad, but America will come back. There are too many good and decent people out there.

The #IPOTUS has installed appellate judges, a SCOTUS, and district judges based on their ideology. These appointments will take decades to overcome and will codify the neo-fascist philosophy of the right wing.

I would imagine Putin is thrilled that he could have wrought such destruction in such a short time.

donnie is just a symptom of a more insidious disease.

a oozing, festering boil, to be sure, but still just a symptom.

sooner or later he'll go away, but the underlying disease will remain.

No doubt about that at all.

Putin's proxy war on the USA is a smashing success thanks to his main asset Trump and his traitor political party.

We will not survive 3 more years at this rate. And TBH I'm not entirely sure how much it's going to help to have Dems in the House. We need the Senate too.
