THIS is your country on Trump. THIS is what weve become under his leadership. THIS is what the Republicans would have you believe is normal. THIS is what the criminals in the GOP want you to ignore along with their having supported and enabled it for two years.
Come January, the gloves are off. The days of coddling the Orange Idiot are at an end. The days of accepting lies and deceit as fact are over. The days of Republicans hiding behind the Emperors non-existent clothes are done.
Theres a new bunch of sheriffs in town. And you can be damned sure theyre ready to do their duty on behalf of the American people rain or shine, before noon-ish, regardless of golfing schedules and TV watching, and without FOX-News being on-board.
Its about to get really ugly, folks but exposing all of the ugliness is about to get real.

(53,410 posts)But our fight is far from over, though I believe we have won a major victory because we have stopped the blind march into fascism.
Trumps supporters will not go silently into the night, any more than we did.

(27,814 posts)The people who were persuaded that Trump is an honest, good Christian man can just as easily be persuaded that he's the devil incarnate.
That's the thing with the easily-led - they are just as easily led in one direction as another.
All it takes at this point is FOX-News to turn on him, and the sheep will follow without question. And all it takes for FOX-News to turn on him is the realization that the 2020 election is lost if they keep defending the indefensible.
In RepublicanWorld, NO ONE is safe if their numbers are going down - not even Trump.

Wonder if there are still Trumpers in the wake of hurricane Michael. Will the shutdown change minds?

(36,053 posts)In Leviathan itself, Thomas Hobbes states:
In such condition there is no place for Industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain:
and consequently no Culture of the Earth;
no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea;
no commodious Building;
no Instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force;
no Knowledge of the face of the Earth;
no account of Time;
no Arts;
no Letters;
no Society;
and which is worst of all, continual Fear, and danger of violent death;
And the life of man solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
According to Hobbes, the outcome is that people choose to enter a social contract, giving up some of their liberties in order to enjoy peace.
Thanks for your excellent portrayal of the state of things.

Mahalo Nance for your brilliant observations on what our country is on the Traitor in the WH.
Thank Goodness for our Blue Waves that swept the new sheriffs into town. And, Robert Swan Mueller III!
