Holy $hit, now Trump/Musk are purging our nuclear weapons & cybersecurity agency. Still think this isn’t directed by Putin? Unlimited cyber attacks on our defense systems, electricity, water, subways, communications, etc. We are now so vulnerable. Haven’t you had enough yet!?!?!?

2 years ago my 89 yo mother said someone should take Trump out. I thought she was being too dramatic and that it wouldn't help anyway. Why did it take so long for me to figure out my mother was right about EVERYTHING? Her brother died in WWII. She was mostly blind but had learned to smell the evil.

Have you realized this is the logical outcome in a privatized nation? Or that this land is built on 100 million native Americans who were completely murdered from this planet by the white man for what evil system we have today that invades free nations and makes them poor. That burns black wealth.

Or that they had to commit a second holocaust worth of murdering communists, abroad and domestic, to create the capital based world order we have today. That they ate Nat Turner?

That Trump, one orange guy, would be excrement isn't surprising. They exist. That an entire major party, the GOP, would completely implode & go goose-stepping in his wake is new. The once proud "Party of Lincoln" is dead. Grant. TR. Eisenhower. Reagan. Gone. How the mighty have fallen.

Trump has taken the US presidency from leadership of the free world to destroyer of democracy.
