Donald Trump is running a shadow government.
I know that the only answer is more Democrats.
I’m just super frustrated.

Who in their right mind would vote for a disgraced, twice impeached, quadruple indicted, 91 criminally charged "candidate" who attempted to overthrow the government he now intends to lead - in the authoritarian manner of the dictators he admires, Putin and Kim Jong-Un??!!

The most heartbreaking thing about all of this is that I no longer trust many of my fellow Americans.

I always knew TFG was an asshole, but I never expected he was Svengali.

I keep thinking the fever will break, but I don’t know at what cost.

I really couldn't take it, all they showed was this offensive blowhard rather than those I thought of as legitimate candidates. I figured I'd start watching again after the election was over and we'd never have to see or hear from him again. Shows what I know. How long has it been now?! Nothing has changed - except he's gotten frighteningly worse...

All Trump all the time.
If you awakened from a ten year coma, you would think he is still President.

Howard Dean let out a whoop! and he was out of the race! This guy commits crimes that would put any average citizen behind bars and he's still the nominee of the Republican party!!!
