Republicans do not yet realize.

That the longer they keep Twitler in charge, the more damage they do to themselves.

It is becoming more obvious every day that they should not be in charge of anything, especially our government.

Unfortunately, the rest of us have to suffer because of their blunders and lack of action, as the dictator continues to consolidate his power with each passing day.

the Trump red states won't change on any of this shit, they'll just blame Dems for doing what their heroes did the last 8 years.

We'll see. I hope some of this will turn, but the whole Trump story has unleashed the hounds amongst the closet white supremecists and haters.

The divide is much too deep and wide, and it will take an "event" of shock proportion to reset our civic consciousness and dialogue. That will happen. Until then, hold on and resist with every fiber of your being.

They are drunk with power and it is blinding them to realities that are moving fast.

They're a pack of incompetents who have grown fat and lazy opposing Obama for a living.

And they asked for all this by courting the ultra right wing crazies right into their midst. They took their money and their votes and right now today the tables have turned and they're on the outside looking in.

I want to be so wrong but I think we're all screwed unless the bean bags get it together.

The only good thing about the Trump era is that when he goes down he will take the GOP down with him. They need to get scared enough to act.

...before Trump goes completely off the rails, and then pose as "America First" saviors by replacing the loose cannon with the far more stable/amenable Pence. Will their risky plan succeed before Baby Donnie brings it all crashing down?--stay tuned!
