trump on Democrats..."They are vicious, horrible people...they are horrible people." My response....

No, Mr. (Not my) President, we are NOT horrible people. We are parents and grandparents, taxpayers, community volunteers, Christians, gun owners, Patriots, Veterans, farmers, small business owners, workers struggling to stay afloat ... and we have never wanted to lower ourselves to fight the way you fight for what you believe ... with BIG LIES and smear attacks, name calling, bullying ... positioning the world as US and THEM. No, we have always wanted to get along with each other, try to solve problems thoughtfully, understand others' viewpoints, compromise, cooperate, give a little, get a little. But no longer. You have changed all that. You, Putin, the Saudi royal family and certain members of the Israeli government, other global high-stakes players ... your unholy alliance that would destroy our 243-year-young, still-so-fragile, democracy ... merely for what ... your own personal financial gain? ... you have changed all that. You want to see horrible people? Hold our beer ...

I am fucking mad because people still think we are a country, a democracy, we are in a WAR with fascist KILLERS as in rump and putin.

So frustrating.

But it doesn't hurt to "take the high road" and whisper sweet nothings so long as you prepare yourself for what you perceive to be the Republican End Game.

Perception is important and I don't think it's obvious to everyone yet that the Republicans are so dirty and compromised that they are going to do everything in their power to undermine the election and may try to nullify it if it goes decidedly against them.

How's that working out? The man never had any intention to be president for all Americans, just those that see things the same as he does, and those whose loyalty he can purchase...

Evangelicals support him because they want women to submit, gays to be locked away, and people of color to once again become chattel...personally I don't want him out of office...I want him off the planet, preferably in a rocket heading for the sun!!!

Thinks arresting and warehousing the homeless is the best solution to that problem?
