Trump is not a problem.
Trump is a symptom.
American people are the problem.
Do you really expect more peace and more cooperation under next Democratic president? I do not.
Polarization will be even greater under the next Republucan president.
When exactly do you want to get awakened?

юроч, well put. Democrats kicked the N Korean can down the road ad nauseum. Obama never did a thing in Africa, didn’t get us out of Afghanistan like he promised, and signed a lame deal with Iran. Yes, stoopid Americans get what they deserve. I would move to Norway or Suisse but The Wife is too tied to her family.

Good observation Yury. Ironically, Michael Moore nailed it before the election when he said:
"People are upset. They're angry at the system and they see Trump — not so much that they agree with him — but they see him as the human Molotov cocktail that they get to toss into the system with Brexit and blow it up, send a message,"

No—he’s both.

he is not as stupid as we think or hope. He may be a sociopath, but then sociopaths can actually be very smart people, not that Trump is smart, but he does seem to know how to play the game. But that smirk of his, I have never hit anybo
which is it, sheesh

Of course, Cosmic won't believe he is once again posting rightwing lies, since he enjoys posting rightwing lies.
From Snopes.com
A supposed list of Saul Alinsky's rules for 'How to Create a Social State' wasn't written by him at all.

Yury, do you think I am that stupid? Of course Trump is a symptom, but he has also become part of the problem, big time.
You seem intelligent, so you must realize that.
BTW

Thanks for the insult, but you are wrong.
which is it, sheesh
10b4me, why do you think I called him an idiot savant?
Of course, that is really not the proper term for him, but it will suffice in lieu of a better more accurate description.
He may be incompetent in many ways - business (bankruptcies, lawsuits), empathy (lack of, typical of a sociopath or psychopath), articulation, class (lack of), and other things - but he is good at marketing, branding and being a demagogue.

He’s Your Champion Now
It’s not just the lack of humility
Or the lewd snarky insults
Or lack of compassion
Or disdain for humanity
Say nothing of a total reckless disregard
For the natural world
That marks the man-child
This Groper in Chief
Who’s been placed at the head
Of our nuclear power
For this emperor sporting invisible clothes
Half America’s told themselves
There’s nothing to see here
Yet he’s been stewarded on
Erasing all traces
Of every trace of national integrity
All those who’ve supported him
Now have their champion
Their bully thug a-hole
To lead all the lesser bully thug a-holes
Representing the deplorables
The spiritually misguided
And angry vindictives
Their champion resides
Flips the world on it’s head
Praise be to he
Little hands and small mind
With that massive behind
Playing tit for tat
With the world on a string
He can’t find many words
Yet he knows how to sing
To the hearts of the many
Who believe like they’re told
That they’ve lost everything
Behold the great trumpeter
With his minuscule horn
Braggadocio and deception
He’s honed to a tee
From the day he was born
He’s your champion now
Don’t wait for history
And certainly don’t waste time
Reading history at all
He’s your champion now
And like all of his body snatched
Voters and motorboaters
He’s taken it on a dare
And has answered the call

I’m sorry but poetry only goes so far in expressing opinions, sometimes.
The reality, as I see it, is that the United States is susceptible of going through something similar to what Nazi Germany went through leading up to and during World War II. History doesn’t repeat itself precisely, but mimics itself in variating loops.
Fact is, most people don’t believe it is possible, which is severely troubling. The shocking part is that out those of us who do believe it, we are not more alarmed or willing to do more about it.
I would be satisfied to see Donald Trump impeached, tried, and imprisoned for treason, along with Mike Pence, and Paul Ryan. The sooner the better. The likely hood of this not happening is greater than the likelihood of Donald Trump, and his followers, becoming responsible for the apocalyptic and human species ending event that no one will be left to call World War III.
Americans are too spoiled and ‘had’ (as Werner might put it) to see what has really happened to us. We have now been subjugated on a whole new level. This is the new level of ‘numb’ which I believe we are all suffering.

The criminals run the show.
There will be no impeachment until they have another criminal puppet to take his place.
You people are unbelievably st00pid ......

All these comparisons of Trump to Hitler and present day America to Nazi Germany come across as leftwing paranoia. Seriously. Reminds me of the often repeated claim of Dubya imposing martial law. It's nonsense.
I don't like Trump. He's unsuitable for the job in so many ways. And he's doing a swell job of executive overreach. We can thank the last POTUS for dramatically extending that authority. But all this talk of Trump rising to supreme leader. It ain't gonna happen.

Skip...You have a good point just as Bushman ( Tim ? ) does...But if the " very stable genius " gets " rocket boy " to launch a nuke " we'll all be goose stepping thru the nuclear fallout...

Bushman as much as I despise Paul Ryan and his politics I guess I don't see impeachment in the cards. Under what legal definition of treason to you think impeachment is warranted?
Obstruction of justice, but I digress.
I heard an interview with Arizona senator Jeff Flake. He said he doesn't see trump being impeached, but he thinks trump might not seek a second term.
Flake said, as of today, he will not run for president.

Re Wade and his desire to resurrect the guillotine. Please, Wade, tell me how that's going to work. Would love to hear your plan for revolution. Are you in charge? or do you have help? And who's gonna get whacked? Conservatives? (You know, the ones with all the guns.) :rolleyes:

There may be no impeachment but that's only due to the majority republican congress weasels putting their financial interest before the good of the American people...Nothing new here...
