I voted for Trump in primary, figuring much of his idiocy was to get TV time. But, after getting nomination he continued to act like a moron, so adding that to his pandering to racists and his clearly amoral core, I voted Green. Wasn't upset in the slightest that Trump won. Was relieved that swamp rat Clinton lost, who thru arrogant negligence of the highest order, killed Libya's ambassador; she committed several crimes covering this up. Then came Trump's appointments: Pruitt to dismantle the EPA; Pai to take away internet access to the poorer; Price to take away health care for the poorer; Sessions, a stone cold racist to AG; Perry to dismantle the Dept of Energy; Mnuchen to DOT; plus all the generals for war and Clinton's banking swamp rats. Then he works to silence negative Press; had 6 journalists arrested and his buddy Sessions charged them with felonies because of their negative coverage of his Inauguration. A reporter get's too investigative in a press conference, they lose their credential. He's attacks the judiciary. Trump's mission was clear: destroy the fabric of our democracy and all its safeguards. And his handlers are using his own buffoonery to distract; encouraging a terror attack on US soil justify and deflect attention; and he'll start and keep wars going.
A Koch/Mercer et al bought off "Republican" congress/party is using him as a puppet to destroy conservatism. Conservatives demand a balanced budget/no debt, which allows for smaller government. Its Country's principles first, before ideology or party, so we adhere to our Rule of Law, Statue of Liberty ideals, WE ARE KIND to the People, the majority does not terrorize the minority. Then within this frame work we shrink government as much as possible. One example: We make regulation and an agency to protect the environment, because it reduces drastically the size of the G. We've been here before; the Robber Barons used their oligarchical influence to prevent environmental regulation to maximize profit. After 50-80 years the air and water quality of the nation was in peril; causing government to explode in size to clean it up. Another example: having some regulations and an agency to enforce them; requires much smaller government than the one needed to clean up the banking collapses that will occur with regularity.
Then came the stories, then proof of Russia hacking into our elections; using bots to manipulate search engines and the targeting of social media accounts in decisive precincts in decisive states. Then came proof of Russian mob money ties to Trump since the early 2000's and the Steele Dossier, which I dismissed like any goofy tabloid story. But then a 2 degrees of separation relationship vouched for Steele [not the dossier]. Now it stands 90% authenticated [0% shown false], to the point where Trump's security head admitted Trump was offered prostitutes; but they were turned down. Yea, Trump turning down pu$$y as he calls it...If the security guy isn't lying, ya know when Trump retired to the lonesomeness of his room, he picked up the phone, "Hey, Vlad about those prostitutes." đ. There was no doubt in my mind that only the most honorable and courageous human [that's the opposite of Trump] would come clean under the vice-pressure of Putin's blackmail. Putin has GREAT interest in destroying the fabric of our democracy and gotta be laughing at us choosing to destroy or own environment after whatta we and he already know.
It was/is clear Trump is compromised. So Hitler was bad, Manson was a killer an the Cinton's suck, what the fuck does that have to do with Trump? Are you saying Clinton;s guilt exonerates Trump? Or, Clinton;s treasons means its okay for Trump? You once complimented a few of us who spoke ill of Kathy Griffith's beheaded Trump. The reason is Griffith's bad behavior cannot be justified because her target is a douche.
Its time for you to live to the standard you've set for everyone else in this regard. Stop justifying shit by pointing out that there's other shit.
