United States of America and its citizens are being held hostage by a temper tantrum three year old. We need to all be afraid because all those who can check his behavior and put an end to his tantrum are in cahoots with him.

(6,535 posts)I realize nothing matters anymore, and there's no point in trying to find any kind of logic or reason behind anything the fucker does, but really, at this point it's just "I care so much about this nation's safety and security, I will actively harm it, and continue to exponentially increase the amount of harm until I get my way."
What is this, like some racist fuck murdering his daughter b/c he'd rather see here dead than in a relationship with a black man? "I'd rather see this nation destroyed than continue to watch the demographics of the population keep going in a non-white direction."

(145 posts)He already knows. The Republican Party as a whole has slipped to a level of treason. They are all either involved, or are silent and therefore complicit and culpable. If ther was any question before this, its gone. There is now no way that they dont know whats going on. None of them.
