It's obvious that Trump is already pulling that and has been working towards it since the beginning.  His overly large ego wouldn't have it any other way.  This is why he admires the dictators so much.  I hope that the military will not allow it to happen, but the military might be bypassed if things keep going his direction.  After all, he has mostly taken over the entire Republican party and is now telling his aides that he wants less workers in the white house and more loyalists in the key positions.  There is no doubt that he is already accomplished much in his take over.

I'm surprised that religious organizations stand behind him.  You would think they would be jumping all over the 666 symbolism that is attached to Jared, who I believe is the one appointed by the great orange one to share the monarchy with Ivanka when Trump dies.

Also, I predict another close race for 2020, and if Bernie pulls off a win, it will be contested by the Trumpian rule and he'll have the military so confused that they won't know who to protect.

But I also try not to worry about it..................

  Oh, thank you for that.  I do believe that is true, however, you can't help but wonder if he won't try pulling it. *shudder*

I, too, worry about that, with the conclusions of the Senate.  Cry

^ With some of the Republicans claiming that he can do whatever he wants, as long as it's for the good of the country, that's always a possibility.

Even if you don't want to vote in the presidential election, at least make sure to vote in congressional, state-level and/or local elections if they're held in your location. There's potential to bring about small forms of positive change (or at least avoid further harm) even if you have no faith in whoever occupies the White House.
This is absolutely crucial and something that I've been saying for the last 15 years or so. Both parties are guilty of laying down during the midterms. This is something that the Republicans know well and have countered with gerrymandering, voter blocking, etc.

Well, I really don't think that he will stick around that long. He'll just get the Russians to help either Ivanka or Jared get elected after he's done.

Oh there's no doubt about it (except for not voting-- you have to stay engaged even if you're not thrilled about it).  Even with Bernie as the nominee I fear Trump gets another four.



You know David, we shouldn't sell Bernie short until he gets into a debate with Trump. I think he'd run over him. And that makes votes.

For anyone who seriously doesn't understand what Twitler is all about I highly recommend Joy-Ann Reid's book The Man Who Sold America. In her introduction she compares Assholini to a Batman villain. It is so spot on and scary...



"Donald Trump seems ripped right out of that comic book supervillain universe.  With h is cantilever hairstyle, weirdly long signature neckties, bizarre syntax, and penchant for slapping his surname on everything he's connected with-from buildings and golf courses to bottled water, board games, and, for a to,e, a sham "university" that promised anyone could learn to be just like "The Donald"-Trump and the cast of characters surrounding him could fit right in with Joker, Riddler, Penguin, and Lex Luthor."

If Bernie isn't the nominee, I'd prefer Trumpski over any of those other f**ks... Yang would have been my 2nd choice, but he dropped out. I can't stand Trump, but I can't stand the others more.

Yeah, it's only safe to argue about politics. For now, at least. That may change.

BTW, I wasn't going to wrote anything negative about Trump, my energies lie elsewhere. The USA got what they deserve in that they got what they voted for.   
Some of my best fiends are Trumpers. You're entitled to your opinion as long as you don't live in the Fox and Breitbart bubble. I like a few of things that Trump does, just not way he goes about doing them.
