I've read an article everyday this year, most stating Trump is almost done. He has crossed the line with his people. He can't do that. That is not legal. Trump is in trouble now. And on and on. Trump is here to stay. Look at what is going on with armed forces in Democrat cities, he wants to jail Democrat leaders and rabble rousers. All his actions just show how antiquated our 250 year old Constitution actually is. The Heritage Foundation has had four years to comb through it and find every imaginable loophole and they exploited it to the maximum. The Supreme Court is a joke. And I still can't believe that so many in office just sat back and watched as Trump worked within the system to destroy our Democracy. He uses Executive Orders like he is handing out Halloween Candy.
It's funny how it took the Dems 2 years to get the ACA passed when they had both houses of Congress. One old slime ball Republican, Mitch McConnell, delayed and held up the process, and got dozens of changes. Trump got the Big Stupid Bill passed with hardly any problems. I do not think most people are taking seriously enough what is happening to our Country. I am sick to my stomach every single day what it going on. I am actually glad I am on the old side of life, and won't have to live in this hell hole much longer. I do feel for my children and grandchildren though. But there is nothing I can do to change that.
