@1: You essentially distilled Trump's base. ~34% just loves how Trump sticks to the media and loves even more how the media 'hyperventilates' in reaction to it. You are enjoying the president's perpetual grievance machine and how he dishes it out. You have a jumbo popcorn and are enjoying every second of it.

But what do you expect from Congress? Are you thinking clearly enough to realize that we're not going to get tax reform or anything at all you might be hoping for?

No, Donald is escorting you into the abyss.

Shorter @1: "anyone who's smarter, better edumacated, and speaks gooder than me is a condescending elitist."

@ 1 - You are most definitely NOT the "last best hope of mankind". You and your kind are its undoing.

PS: there is no such thing as "The Left" or "Leftists" in the States. They're at best center, and mostly center-right (even Bernie Sanders is only just slightly - like one degree - left of center). The left equals socialism, and no-one advocates for actual socialism in the US, merely for superficial tweakings to capitalism. Get your definition rights before you rant.

I meant "definitions right. @ 4.

And I meant "definitions right" @ 5

@ 1/7,

Half the country did not vote for Twitler. At best, around 20% of the population, or approximately 46% of the voters. He was installed against the will of the people by the (s)Electoral College after losing the popular vote by -3,000,000 ballots. His entire regime is illegitimate.

He is a shameless liar, a vile racist, a kleptocratic wanna-be dictator, an aggressively ignorant blowhard, a cowardly bully, and a rapist. RepubliKKKans consider those to be his best qualities.

One positive: He's blown the lid off the con that RepubliKKKans are in any way competent to govern this country. They hold power solely due to their voters' white supremacist views.

It says more about the fools and assholes that continue to eat his and the GOPKKK's steaming shit sandwiches than anything else.

@8:

We're perfectly happy living in the America WE create; you know, the one where ALL people are created equal, where ALL citizens have the same rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's the one you and your ilk are creating: the one where "white uber alles" is the national motto, where women and minorities are relegated to the status second-class underlings; where the relative handful of the most rich and most powerful get to lord over the overwhelming majority; where lies, deceit, and collusion are considered "normal"; where facts don't matter - THAT'S the country I don't want to live in, and I'll keep fighting for as long as it takes to ensure that's NOT the country we become.

Sorry, @9 was meant for @7, which appears to have already been killfiled, too bad, so sad.

*sigh* It's really hard to come to terms with how out of touch with reality that man is. That he thinks he can still play the victim role --while actually being "president"-- is, well, quite tedious.

If he can't lead, and just wants to recount how poorly-treated he believes he is, then he should just step aside and let someone with actual skills get to work.

if he had a tenth of the managerial skills of Hitler, we'd be in impossibly deep shit right now.

Under Trump, racists become more racist, the woke necessarily become more woke, and areas of compromise among all quickly dwindle and disappear.

@11:

The problem is - he thinks he IS leading...

I remember when George W. was Hitler too. The Left has become so unhinged.

@13:

Yeah, and I remember when Barack Obama as a Kenyan/Muslim/Socialist/N****r. The Right has ALWAYS been unhinged.
