Honestly..What is or will be the actual tipping point???

When will the "reasonable", "normal" republicans finally grow a fucking spine and say enough is enough HE HAS TO GO!
This is what they should really mean by "take your country back!"

They have sold their souls to put a traitor in the White House and now they have to double down or face the wrath of these Nazis

aspect but I think maybe we have gone over the tipping point.

Read the piece on DailyKos about Pruitt, think of all the Trump appointees... The worst of the worst not the "Best and the Brightest" (who f*cked up immensely on their own in the past).

I'd like to have a special election for us to be like modern Norway instead of North Korea/Facist Italy. But I don't know how we get there, or if it's even possible.

The only ray of sunshine is that wages (at least in LA) are rising for lower end economic people - saw a bus bench sign that since July 1, 2017 businesses over 26 employees minimum pay is $12 and under $10.50. Not great, but lots better than a few years ago. At least some more people will eat.

still seeking nomination for republican candidate. All Americans
My city did all it could at that time.

If only other places would have stopped him from speaking while campaigning for the nomination
He should have had no place to spread this hate. The cable tv showing all his speeches live couldn't show one from our city because it got shutdown. He never spoke
You can't count on republicans if you do you will be disappointed
