Just sitting here thinking about what a goddamn mess Trump et al has created.

30% of the country believes whatever is placed in front of their eyes on facebook. Critical thinking is not required.

Some people think that the wall is actually feasible and a good idea. It's like magic!

Lies, bullshit and general fuckery coming out of the White House 24/7/365.

Gaslighting so bad that if you look that word up in the dictionary, there is no definition provided, but rather, there is simply a picture of Trump.

Individuals going on TV in front of a national audience, making a statement, and people walking away from that arguing about what that individual actually "meant".

Intelligent people so burned out and mentally abused by Trump that even they have trouble recognizing the truth sometimes.

Halfway convincing yourself that Trump would actually make physical love to Kim if he had the chance.

Trump siding with Kim and affirming the statement that Joe Biden, former vice-President of the United States, is a low IQ individual. While on foreign soil. On Memorial Day. Then wishing the Japanese people "Happy Memorial Day".

A year and change away from the general election with no affirmation from Trump that Russia fucked with the previous general election, let alone addressing what we are doing to fix it.

Turtle stating that he would push through the nomination of a Supreme Court Justice in 2020, an election year, should the occasion arise then.

Actual voters thinking that Trump was "sent here by God".

Old fucking white guys that probably never had sex in their lives (or if they did, it was an accident) making decisions concerning women's bodies.

Having a POTUS, that on certain days, looks like nothing resembling a human being.

Having a POTUS whose fallback position on everything is "Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you" and then doing the traditional sucking of air through his teeth for emphasis.

The kid from "The Omen", all grown up now, playing "Let's fix the Middle East".

A White House adviser and first daughter whose job is to practice what a "Breathless Barbie" doll would actually sound like, if Barbie could actually talk.

Many in America wondering how you actually clean a gold toilet. Vinegar?

Having a POTUS that doesn't laugh.

Having a POTUS ignore missiles flying out of North Korea, because he is romantically in love with the leader of North Korea.

Children actually dying at our southern border.

cLiMaTe ChAnGe iS a hOkes!!!

Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Good times, good times.

Trump took advantage of the mess that had been created over the course of almost 50 years.

This started back with Nixon who in my opinion, committed a treasonable offense to secure the election in 1968. He went through back channels and derailed the peace talks with Vietnam to win the elections. That bought the US 5 more years of our soldiers dying in a war we should never have been in. It was Nixon who first dishonored the office. Nixon who wanted the "Unitary Executive" to be a thing and who famously said, "It isn't a crime if the president does it." He and Roger Ailes were working on GOPTv to subvert the conventional press corps who until that time and the emergence of cable news, had been focused on good journalism.

After Nixon came Reagan, who again, committed a treasonable offense to win the 1980 election by selling weapons to Iran, who was already seen as a state sponsor of terrorism, and to whom we were forbidden to sell weapons. Then the administration set up a system to funnel money to right wing death squads in Central America also against the law. Reagan courted the Christian Dominionist vote and began dismantling the modest social safety net we had but cutting taxes on the rich and shifting the burden to Social Security recipients. He also increased the culture war by going after so-called "welfare queens" in Cadillacs and "young bucks" eating steak and lobster on food stamps.

Bush and Cheney were more brazen, lying the US into a war in Iraq and trying to wage war on a tactic, thus plunging us in to an eternal war mentality. Yet another elections fraud situation.

Trump is just the vulgar, cheap, and stupid version of those who came before him.
