I would post on a thread that didn't have any posts for several hours about how Steve Bannon was connected with Russia, (it was when the first connections between Bannon and Russia were coming out)

Anyway, within a minute posts would show up. Not even disputing me, just random posts to fill the page. I even posted about it here.

I bet they are still doing that. Notice the incredibly high post count. Thousands of people supposedly post there in such short periods of time, at least they used to.

Perhaps the saddest part of this whole saga - we have NO leaders willing to stand up to this disaster.

But sadly, right now, the world knows that the United States stands for kidnapping and torturing children. It's pretty tough to come back from that one with just raised voices. But that's where it needs to start.

With the exception of some farmers and whiskey producers who pay attention to foreign markets because of their exports, most Trumpers have no knowledge of foreign policy and they do not care about other countries because they have never been out of the U.S. and see no reason ever to do so. Those other countries have no impact on us, and it doesn’t matter whether we have any allies. Their understanding of a global economy is nil, and mostly they’re concerned about the cost of a gallon of gas or whether their favorite fast-food joint is raising prices. Many rural voters. Hoose to remain isolated and believe their right-wing evangelical ministers and Fox News only. All else is fake news and everyone is just outnto make Trump look bad. These people are hopeless. They are like the followers of Jim Jones who followed him even into suicide and murder of their own children. We are not dealing with rational people here.

This should be an easy, quick first step to collectively rebuke this turd. Don't get me wrong, he needs to go...he was unfit from the beginning. Censure is something that can send a bipartisan message. Such a move could be a cascade of chaos that threatens the Bum into more crazytalk and impeachment.
