I think what most are having fits over is the fact a 70 year old with no political experience whatsoever made it to the big house over all those "darling" career politicians.

...


Honestly Sirius, this would have made my freaking day, if he wasn't a Billionaire extremist.

No billionaire knows anything about the common man, hence no billionaire will ever look out for the common man. No matter how many lies they feed the common man.

Trump's rhetoric is nothing new, we've seen this before in the last hundred years, a couple times.

LOL. Couldn't stop chuckling while I wrote it.

However, funny as it looks, it does highlight a very serious issue:

Where the hell did those career politicians disappear to, to allow this to happen?

Does not bode well for your political system :-(

Trump White House shuts down comments line.
Giving new meaning to “no comment.”

Yeah well, who is surprised? The Russian government doesn't have a comments line either.


Poor Donny just got another signature to a petition that already has enough signatures, yet his internal numbers tell him the US citizens don't care about.

Top White House strategist Steve Bannon blasted the press this week, casting it as the opposition and telling news media that it should "keep its mouth shut."...
President Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon told The New York Times the media is, quote, "the opposition party."

That sounds a LOT like the USA over the last 24 years... (Slick Willie, Dubya, and O'Bummer).

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

I don't deny that Obama failed me/us, Major. If he had been a true progressive he'd have shut down this beast of domestic spying (that was created before his time) that we have, rather than hand the keys off to someone like Trump.

Regardless, this administration is being very 'in your face' about their intentions, and they are being very totalitarian.

Previous presidents and their administration have never threatened the media or talked down directly to/about it....

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, FREEDOM OF SPEECH. I expected those on the right to be men of their own morals and be against this kind of action/stance.

Exactly. At least previous scummy presidents have had the decency to keep their plans/beliefs private.

But I have never known one that scared the s**t out of me.

Thankfully someone has stepped in to halt this nightmare:

Federal judge stays deportations under Trump Muslim country travel ban

There may be some here who don't have friends or colleagues from these countries who can't see how awful what Trump has done is. That's their shame.

I am so horrified watching this and painfully aware how it will effect decent good people who deserve better.

Awful. The ban included people with green cards. How ill thought out and childish. Can you imagine this happening to you as you try to return to your legal home? People were pulled off flights and detained at airports. It really is like Nazi Germany.

& it's only going to get worse

Brexit & Trump's election just showed that many were fed up with the status quo & wanted change. Change is good but too many changes at once causes too many problems.

The way this administration is going will take the world into areas it should not have to go.

I'm just wondering which will come 1st? His impeachment or his assassination?

If he serves the full term & continue in this vein, we're all in trouble.
