Trump presidency “demands fierce resistance” (Laff riot)
Grist ^ | December 2, 2016 | Bill McKibben

Posted on 12/02/2016 12:02:02 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

We’re going to be dealing with an onslaught of daily emergencies during the Trump years. Already it’s begun — if there’s nothing going on (or in some cases when there is), our leader often begins the day with a tweet to stir the pot, and suddenly we’re debating whether burning the flag should lose you your citizenship.

These crises will get worse once he has power — from day to day we’ll have to try and protect vulnerable immigrants, or deal with the latest outrage from the white supremacist “alt-reich,” or confront the latest self-dealing scandal in the upper reaches of the Tower. It will be a game (though not a fun one), for 48 months, of trying to preserve as many people and as much of the Constitution as possible.

And if we’re very lucky, at the end of those four years, we might be able to go back to something that resembles normal life. Much damage will have been done in the meantime, but perhaps not irreparable damage. Obamacare will be gone, but something like it — maybe even something better — will be resurrectable. The suffering in the meantime will be real, but it won’t make the problem harder to solve, assuming reason someday returns. That’s, I guess, the good news: that someday normal life may resume....

I wonder what his column will say the day after President Trump is re-elected in 2020?

Oh Please, you Leftist clowns have never given one thought about the US Constitution. From Obamacare to Abortion your whole agenda is one massive assault on the US Constitution and the idea of a limited federalized system.

Spare us the pompous infantile bluster about preserving as “much of the Constitution as possible.” you Leftists are the worst enemies to the principals of the US Constitution, not Donald Trump.

No, they can’t fight Trump or even disagree. If they do, it can only be because they’re racist!

This McKibben character is an extreme enviro-wacko who wants everyone but the chosen elites to freeze in the dark in order to 'save the planet'.

He'll get a rude awakening when he finds out that he's not of the chosen elites; rather, he's just a useful idiot.

The left realizes if many of the illegals are gone. That their whole agenda of destroying America is done. They are desperate.

I would like to hear it announce that any here illegally will be deported and all their assets confiscated before they are removed from the country and further, that any children born to them on American soil will be taken from them and anonymously adopted out.
