I like my leaders to only kill, steal, and cause general mayhem in the manner in which I approve of.

How sad and pathetic. No wonder the Democratic Party is a collapsed and dying Party
I don't think it's about anyone dying off. Old people didn't vote him in. Supposedly it was rust belt people who wanted coal mining jobs to come back, as if coal mining is our future and COULD come back. As they die of Black Lung disease with no health insurance...

This administration is such a walking disaster that there will be a backlash across all segments of America. Practically any Democrat could win against them now. And if they take health insurance away, they're DOA.

This is not what I said. I said once the supporters are no longer around to come to his defense his own words and actions will be what he is judged by. They may look great to you today but then again Joe McCarthy and George Wallace had rabid supporters at one time too.


Now this is just my opinion obviously and you certainly have a right to yours. But in my opinion in 50 years they will look at this man and think he was off his rocker based on what he said and tried to do.

History students will look back at a President and hear him brag about assaulting women, learn how he tried to circumvent an impartial investigation by firing those who didn't try to turn it his way, read about his infamous Wall that was never built and they will simply laugh at us for putting such a man in the White House.

And just like the Paterno apologists all the Cult's cries and protests won't change anything, both of their legacies are set in stone. And that will never change.


You are absolutely correct on every point you made. We look back now on the McCarthy era and wonder how the Hell people accepted such a madman with such a slanted agenda. And yet, here we are, in 2017, with another crazy SOB in the WH, and history will not be kind to us for allowing this to happen.

You would think people would learn and that people have gotten smarter over the years, but some are just as dumb, and have the same hatred and bigotry, that they had back then.

For me, as a liberal, Trump has made me more open to working with "true" republicans, not crazy people like Trump and his supporters. I feel like Trump, because he is such a nasty and obnoxious person, has made me a better person...as I am now more open to listening and working with the decent people across the isle.
You truly are a democrat, if you think McCain and Graham are true republicans.

And calling Trump supporters crazy just shows me you still don't get it......

I once saw a really stupid movie with a clever premise. Instead of human evolving and getting smarter as expected what they found moving forward into the future was the brightest people chose not to have children. They would then show a college professor and a scientist being interviewed saying "we may have children some day but we want to focus on our career now". Next they showed trailer trash idiots with 9 screaming kids with Ricketts running around. And of course each of those 9 kids each had huge litters and the gene pool just got dumber and dumber.


This went on for generations and suddenly the world was full of stupid people,

Who defines a "true" Republican? You?

On who's authority?
