1. Many thanks to who I proudly can say is my Rep.

2. Guess we should have told them about

all those native American treaties that were broken.

3. Yeah,

Isn't it great to see how far we've come in 150 years!

4. It is cruel. And it's more than that too.

What kind of kakistocracy have we got going on here when life-disrupting things like this can happen without recourse? WHO would ever trust our word and our policies again if they can be so casually -- and yes, cruelly -- destroyed with the flick of a pen? What good is our word about anything, if we can so easily do this to our own loyal, productive AMERICANS who happen not to be citizens by absolutely no fault of their own with the change of administration?

Boy *I* don't even trust my government any more.

Further, THIS isn't what Americans wanted. I'm sick and tired of Trump and his idiot enablers in Congress being led around by the nose by well under 30% of the population, the ne'er-do-wells known as Trump supporters. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

But I also have to say: the Republicans boxed themselves (and us) into quite a corner. They're afraid of standing up to Trump (much) because his support is THEIR support, and they drew those damn hyper-gerrymandered districts in such a way that they have to fear their own base. They better hope we can roll back those districts to something approaching normalcy. We all better hope that. (So what IS Eric Holder doing these days??)

5. Trump is a prick just for the sake of being a prick.

6. We still have 3 1/2 years to go... RESIST NOW!

Call Congress, boycott, attend sit ins, etc. If there is no group near you then start one! He is and will continue to get away with worse and more dangerous BS. Congree will also continue to enable him. YOU CAN DO SOMETHING, so DO IT! We did have an impact on drawing attention to the ACA REPEAL (which is not officially over yet). RESIST! REMOVE! Peace.

7. Trump Rule #1: "Overturn Obama." #1. A. "The WHC Dinner Isn't So Funny NOW, Is It?"

8. Cruelty defines the trump presidency. nt
