We have nothing to fear because Trump is a dumba$$ and doesn't know how anything works.

You tired of winning yet?

He hasn't used any of his super powers yet. Heck, he's still in a suit.
He saved Hillary from self-destruction when she couldn't hang on.

Funny how conservatives hate big government doing whatever it wants when the other party is in power, but as soon as they elect their chosen stooge, we need to get rid of the rules of law that have preserved our democracy and prevent dictatorships for over 200 years just so Trump and his party bobbleheads can pass whatever destructive and bigoted laws they wish.

Right-wingers should be ashamed by this mindset, and their lack of respect for what actually makes America great - it's not Trump - is disgraceful. But this is just more of the same from the "small government" party that wants a government too weak to run the schools or pave the roads, but one that is strong enough to monitor the bedrooms and temples for the "wrong" kind of sex and religion.

I expect even neophytes to have a basic knowledge of politics or do the work necessary to prevent ignorance on political topics discussed before posting. If it is coupled with a small amount of ability
to reason its a plus. I'm feeling generous today and I know I have a jar of mashed peas somewhere.
Look this over until I get back. A written report will get extra credit and maybe a merit badge.

In other words- you didn't know the answer to the posters question and you yourself had to look something up, lol.

Sure, sure- say I ain't right, lol.

Yep. The Emperor has dissolved the Senate for the duration of the Emergency, to quote Darth Vader.

That, and "This is how freedom dies - to thunderous applause."

Watch the Trumplings cheer for him, and there you go.

Trump is an enemy of Democracy and any Rep or Dem who doesn't resist his daily idiocy will have hell to pay when this tinpot dictator wanna-be is removed. People aren't going to forget their allegiance to Trump over country.

Whatever, dude - that doesn't make it right, and the difference is that most Progressive VOTERS don't want to do away with those rules... while many right-wingers want whatever allows their worthless party to "beat the cr*p out of liberals," regardless of the damage done to our nation. When Cult 45 is willing to take a stand against Trump, then we can talk, but not until then.

I agree. Maybe the best thing is to change the name of the country to Trumplandia, have a coronation and declare him as king and his family as the royal family, disband Congress and put our fate into their hands.

We can declare this experiment that was created back in the 1700s a nice try, but it just didn't work out.

One last thing. We can change July 4th to Supreme Leader Day.
