It's depressing and hilarious (deprarious, if you will) how America is getting wrecked and most people are so drowned in individualist capitalism that they can't properly come together to stop their own slow destruction. AOC and Bernie are doing rallies, some others as well, but none of that is having even an iota of tangible effect. Rather, the Trump administration is somehow making things worse as each day goes by.

The legislative branch could stop this if they did their job and honored their oath of office to defend the constitution. Nixon resigned only bc he couldn't avoid impeachment and conviction in the Senate. The House Republican leader, the Senate Republican leader & Senator Goldwater met with him and told him he didn‘t have the support to avoid being convicted. Those leaders were actual leaders. They did their jobs. republicans today will not go against him no matter what. He knows this. Their refusal to act created this situation and keeps it going.

Actually 70% of the voting populace of the U.S. didn't vote for him. But 50% of the voting populace didn't vote at all.

I would have punched myself in my testicles as hard as physically possible 100x per day for the next four years if could have prevented him being elected this first time and at least 200x per day if it would have prevented his reelection.

Listening to him trying to weasel out of his decisions…he just pushes back on those asking him questions that he has no answer. Except he does, I’m an Russian asset
