A system of government created by a small pathological minority that takes control over a society of normal people.
Yep, that's it Studly.
We actually see it in the responses here (brainwashed st00pid politards).
They all focus on the wrong people as the source (Trump)
Trump is only a puppet.
The real pathological psychos in DC are never out in front for the people to see.
They remain far in background unseen all while the st00pid brainwashed fools remain fixated on the expendable puppets ......

Trump just scored a major victory in a United Nations vote regarding his decision to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and move the US Embassy there as soon as possible.
Trump got nine votes validating his Jerusalem decision. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders declared it an "overwhelming victory" for Trump's foreign policy agenda.

Sarah Sanders had no comment regarding the 128 U.N. votes condemning Trump's decision as recklessly dangerous to peace worldwide.

Never let 'em see you smile. You'll appear to be weak as well as stupid.
Il Presidente smiles way too much over the dumbest things.
As reported this morning in The Guardian, the vote came after a redoubling of threats by Nikki Haley,
the US ambassador to the UN, who said that Washington would remember
which countries “disrespected” America by voting against his unilateral
recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

maturity or f*#king wisdom; probably just experience has taught me that though some horizons appear horrible at the journey's outset, through commitment, determination and less organized emotions like folly, i traverse the daunting landscape and in the process rearrange it so's that it's less ugly and i come out the other side of the experience rewarded and better for my struggle.
immediately i'm thinking of two parking garages on my desk; both are quite challenging engineering wise, and the time constraints are totally unrealistic. i walked into the projects intimidated. i kept my head down and chipped away at the process. an now, both are complete and submitted and i'm a better designer for the struggle.
1 year behind and 3 more ahead with the devil in charge has me angry and moderately hopeless. let's just keep our heads down and march out this forced battle. wading through white shite, with grey hairs in it. oh and it has a slight citrus hue to it.

It's good to see that respect for American leadership has been "restored" and we don't have to suffer under that laughing stock known as Obama.

take another shot of poison, sir.
you've spent half your life stumblin around drunk on fear.
maybe all of it.
trump is a murder weapon; world wide.
the terrorists know that he does more damage alive
than the prize he would fetch dead.
he's so stupid though, and so are his coward followers,
that he does not realize he's working for the worst people in the world.
despite your lob of faux confidence,
your hollow constitution is glaring.
edit, not you, 10b. mine was in response
to the third class thinker two up.

Right - Benito was far more intelligent than DT, but look what it got him anyway.
I'm desperately worried about the situation. When a would-be autocrat starts losing power or is threatened, as by the investigation, his response is often to find a reason to declare a national emergency and suspend civil liberties (including protests), and lock in power. In the past this has often been by starting a war. One day you are in a sort of democracy, the next your civil rights are gone and you are stuck with it.
How to hobble this fool? An outright revolution could be catastrophic. Perhaps a few million-person marches would convince his republican supporters to back off and swing the house and senate back into Demo hands. Yeah, I know, Demos aren't lily white either, but one hell of an improvement. Not an idea solution, but those are the parties we've got. Or perhaps a general strike, or series of them, might get the idea across. There's one being planned already: Google Strike4Democracy.
It's impossible not to laugh at that narcissistic simpleton, but we are on thin ice and MUST do something about it besides laugh and groan. The US, despite being on an economic high (and why not since corporations have few controls any more) is slipping rapidly into a far-right autocracy.
Or oligarchy, or kleptocracy, or some combination.
I'm an American (dual, actually) but am awfully glad I'm living in Canada. Except that it's difficult to be an activist from here.
And Merry Christmas to all!
