    This country is so screwed if this guy gets into office. He’s just vice-signaling to all the very worst elements in society.

      I can’t see him going down without a fight if he loses. We are fucked what ever the outcome this November

        He already lost once while he was the president and we survived. He has much less power now. We’re only fucked if he’s handed it again.

                  What’s really crazy is, no matter how bad he gets, his MAGoos will defend him.

                  Remember the G-8 Conference where the other leaders went for a stroll and Trump needed a mobility cart to keep up?

                  Someone online told me that was a power move that showed dominance, and not the whining of a toddler who needs a nap.

    He… Literally helped expedite the research and roll out. Even if you like those words coming from his mouth you have to accept he’s actively just saying words to lie to you…

      This is where I divide Republicans into two groups:

      • Evil people who believe that Republican lies will serve them in some way.
      • Stupid people who will believe the most outrageous lies.

    He’ll find any way to defund education. Why? Because a dictator always “loves the poorly educated.” Why? Because they’re easier to control.

    Get with the program, folks. Everything is about control.

      Also doesn’t that open up to vouchers for Christian schools, which of course is a big bonus. I’m not from the States so fuzzy on how that side works exactly.

      Edit,I do mean a bonus for the fanatical right that wants a Christian state, not a bonus for freedom.

        They already have the power. Control/subjugation is harder. It takes manipulation and requires subjects to comply and not rise up.

        The conservatives have already acquiesced to their “dear leader.” It’s the pesky liberals and progressives who have enough intelligence to know that what is happening is wrong. Get rid of that element and you have ultimate control.
