Of course this would never happen, but its hyperbole intended to point that many Trump supporters are more loyal to Trump and the Republican Party than they are to the United States and its Constitution. How much longer will they be able to keep up deflecting his mistakes and justifying the odd, disturbing decisions?

One more thing, this is NOT about the GOP platform or specific issues. Issues like immigration, tax cuts, healthcare, the environment, LGBT rights, and yes, even the wall, can be debated. This is about Trump specifically and his erratic, dangerous, down right scary decision making, some of which goes against everything this country is supposed to stand for.
Really? If you think it can't happen here you are a dreamer. American system of democracy has a lot of vulnerabilities. It TRUSTS that no one would ever be elected President who is determined to tear the system apart. It TRUSTS that our legislators are smart enough not to sit by idly and let it happen. It was devised in a time when the power of something like the Internet could not even be imagined, there were no safeguards against an enemy nation using it against us.

This is true on all accounts. A big vulnerability of a democracy is the assumption that the people will participate in order to protect their own interests. In the last election, many people sat on their couches with their nose in their electronic devices and hoped someone else would do the heavy lifting for them.

I wish conservatives loved and respected the First Amendment as much as the do the Second.
Where are those of your Party who are standing up against those protesters in Berkeley and elsewhere? Where? There has been NOT ONE! And now we learn that Hillary Clinton has officially joined this "Resistance."

The Constitution is being undermined, and it isn't the Republican Party or Donald Trump that is doing it. It is the Democrat Party!

Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy AG, a career prosecutor, confirmed 94-6, recommended to President Trump that James Comey be fired. This was not Trump's decision. He determined that Comey did not have the temperament to be the FBI director (among other things) and made the recommendation to Trump.

Trump is following the Constitution. He is not undermining it. Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are undermining it.

Trump did not order an end to the investigation. He fired Comey. The investigation continues.

Schumer's demand for a special prosecutor is ridiculous, as they have, to date, found zero evidence of any "Russian connection" or collusion.

And let's not forget which Party and which Administration has been conducting espionage ("wire tapping") on the Trump team, and other Republicans, for who knows how long?

The real collusion is the democrats and the media trying daily to take down Trump with lies..

If there was a Russian connection it is with Hillary and her giving the rights of US uranium to Russia.

Please! Do you people realize how ridiculous and just plain silly you sound? Is this really what the Democrat Party has become?

It is especially ridiculous since it is your Party that has been undermining the Constitution for many years and talking about eliminating the Second Amendment, some even suggesting that the Constitution itself be trashed!

Exaggerate much?

Our system of government makes it impossible for the drivel you posted to actually happen anywhere but in that twisted imagination of yours.



I posted this on 4-2-2014 under a former iteration of myself:


I still stand by it, and for the most part was exactly correct. Trump is the closest thing to a third party President that we have ever had. The white educated women and many dems flipped their votes, and will continue to.

The absolute insanity being displayed by the extreme left is showing just how psychotic they truly are.
Liberals just can't help themselves. They are so immature.
