(4,033 posts)How long will the GOP sit and twiddle their thumbs while Trump no only destroys the USA for the sake of a few dollars more in his and his buddies pockets, but also wages all out war against people of color, the poor, the climate, and who is looking for any excuse to play with his nuclear weapons? This man is a true Hitler wannabe!!
