That's not hyperbolic. We are at a deadly serious crossroads in our history.

100 years from now. That's a good one. Between, poisoning air, water, food, unlimited guns and right wing IV's of pure hate, Jesus freaks praying for and pushing apocalypse and rapture, Climate destruction, and the GOP with nukes, there is no future. Another 4 years of trump and THIS GOP, it will all end within 10 more yesrs. That is why they are all in, no future to judge. We have one year to begin salvaging any future. Between November and next January, he can end the world, and does not care. Knows he is at the end of his miserable existence and hates that anyone else may still be here.

But what this acquittal will really mean is that in order to beat Trump, the Democratic candidate will have to face the entire power of the US Federal Government which is now officially part of the Trump campaign.

(15,553 posts)I've got goosebumps. What a true patriot she is. She really loves this country and what it stands for, and she's been around long enough, as have I, to remember when most Americans valued what we stood for.
Now, I'm not so sure if most Americans care about what the founding fathers fought for. Either that or they just take it for granted that it will always be there without each and every one of us fighting to keep it.
