Trump works for Trump AND ONLY TRUMP. Not Putin, not the US, not the constitution, not for the good or bad... Just the guy he sees in the mirror.
That's nonsense. I've seen several instances where Trump favors Putin and Russia in statements. Trump acts like that compromised Senator Geary of Nevada in the Godfather 2.
Thanks for the article. History is replete with examples of citizens who just gave up with their societies going from democracies to autocracies. American institutions are stronger than most, but then again the Roman Republic was nearly 500 years old when it collapsed.
It all starts with disdain for the institutions of this country. Read Trumplican posts on CD or so-called "conservative" opinions on our institutions. Hatred for the media. Hatred for the first Amendment. Hatred of Freedom of Religion, except their own. Hatred of law enforcement. Hatred of the electoral process. A general hatred of all matters that contradict the Trumplican narrative.
There is so much evidence that Trump is a Russian tool, if not, an outright Russian agent. Do Trumplicans want to get to the truth? No. They would rather the country be torn apart, internally and externally, then criticize or investigate Trump. These Trumplicans are either willing participants in this scam or fools to the cult of personality that Trump is fostering.
The US has always been immune to the cult of personality that has afflicted other nations. But for whatever reason, a Russian compromised former reality TV star with a penchant for scams has 40% of the nation in a tither.
I remember reading a quote once when Rome was at the height of its power that it would last forever. It was the light of the world. Fifty years later barbarians were on its door steps. They once controlled the world and saw it all come down.
I often wondered what the Romans thought when they saw their world crumbling around them.
Now I know.
Good summary of the situation TreeBeard. There are many lessons to be learned from all this, but one of the most amazing is that we can see how easily people can be manipulated, by even the most simple minded propaganda. Once you degrade the ability for critical thinking, it is easy for a populist to use base emotions of hate and fear to create a following.
If you think about it. McConnell had a bloodless coup. He with held a Pres. nominee for the SCOTUS. It was a power grab of epic proportion.
One which opens the door for big money to exert more control over the country.
Not the first time that has been done and I am glad they did it. We didn't need another Sotomayor. I rank Sotomayor to be even more worthless than Thomas.
Do you think it’s really a good idea to let this con man nominate ANYONE for anything while he is under investigation? How would you feel if Trump was a democrat under investigation? The Republicans would be livid. He shouldn’t be able to do a thing until the investigation is finished. This nominee could work with Trump in allowing Trumps over reach.

Oh so now the left feels that someone under investigation is guilty until proven innocent? Yet. the left demands that we treat illegals like citizens until they go through their immigration hearings.
Double standards?
The left also defended Hillary tooth and nail in spite of her husband meeting the AG on a tarmac. What were Comey's words? We didn't charge her because we couldn't prove that she meant to break the law? Uhm. the ignorance of the law excuse has long been denied. He basically said she was stupid not criminal.
Hillary is many things, mostly bad, but stupid isn't one of them.
Trump is many things, stupid being one of them, but he hasn't been found guilty of a damned thing. Yet!! Until then he has a job to do and so far both his choices have been superior to Sotomayor.
At least Trump got elected so we took a few steps back from the cliff and have a little time to come up with a plan to stop the elitist's planned demise of America. We'd be in a free fall now had Hillary been sworn in.
Leftists are nuts. Look at these responses. They actually think they are intelligent? Bwahahahahahaha that joke is on them big time and they don't even know it.

What the Russian collusion investigation? Oh yeah, keep dreaming.
