Dear God, how long are we going to continue to let this monster */rant mode on/*

go on destroying our country? Seven months and look what he has managed to do. He has destroyed our standing as the leader of the free world, put us on a nuclear collision course with North Korea, he is stirring up racial hatred, giving aid and comfort for Neo-Nazis and the KKK, making our allies nervous and our enemies comforted. He has no policy except those dreamed up on the spur of the moment, he is wiping out an entire generation of civil servants and destroying institutional memory, messing with out economy, fucking with our climate, fighting with Congress, obstructing justice, making his personal fortune by using his position to basically extort money from foreign governments and raid our own treasury.

When are we going to put politics aside and say ENOUGH! When is Congress going to start putting country ahead of their damn jobs and just DO their damn jobs? Do they really think that winning another term is more important than the country they took an oath that says, in part: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

We have a bloody domestic enemy in the White House. Just his overt ignoring of the Emoluments Clause should be enough to impeach him. They are NOT supporting the Constitution when they let him leech off the government teat! But, oh well, they have to be concerned about their base. What the hell would happen of their 'base' decided it would be a good idea to bring back slavery? And Trump agreed. If they felt that slavery was popular enough in their districts would they support that as well?

What is it going to take? We keep saying 'this is it' and it never is. Adios America. It was a good ride while it lasted.

If they can still read and write get access to records maybe our great grand children will figure it out. We are lost humanity in peril if not Trump someone else will take his place. I believe humanity is facing an extinction level series of events. Every day without massive amounts of suffering and death is a good day. Whatever the outcome the United States will never be the same. There is and will never be a flicker of hope that Trump will change. The New Dark ages are upon us the barbarians have breached the gate.

If they don't we willl have him for the full 4 years.
Republicans will never impeach him. Holding onto power is the only thing of importance to them. More than passing their agenda.and even more than the survival of the US
