ts been nearly two years since Donald Trump won enough Electoral College votes to become president of the United States. On the day after, in my concession speech, I said, We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. I hoped that my fears for our future were overblown.
They were not.
In the roughly 21 months since he took the oath of office, Trump has sunk far below the already-low bar he set for himself in his ugly campaign. Exhibit A is the unspeakable cruelty that his administration has inflicted on undocumented families arriving at the border, including separating children, some as young as eight months, from their parents. According to The New York Times, the administration continues to detain 12,800 children right now, despite all the outcry and court orders. Then theres the presidents monstrous neglect of Puerto Rico: After Hurricane Maria ravaged the island, his administration barely responded. Some 3,000 Americans died. Now Trump flatly denies those deaths were caused by the storm. And, of course, despite the recent indictments of several Russian military intelligence officers for hacking the Democratic National Committee in 2016, he continues to dismiss a serious attack on our country by a foreign power as a hoax.
Trump and his cronies do so many despicable things that it can be hard to keep track. I think that may be the pointto confound us, so its harder to keep our eye on the ball. The ball, of course, is protecting American democracy. As citizens, thats our most important charge. And right now, our democracy is in crisis.

Same with my daughter, though she doesn’t wear dresses. She wears cowboy boots. She’s a warrior, and she can cook and sew.
She’s going to get a place somewhere and raise kids and animals.
She prays though, and she’s honest.
That’s some big cankles to follow.

American democracy may well be in crisis, but the American representative republic, which actually describes the form of government enshrined in the US Constitution and the existing statutes, is alive and working more or less the way it should.
“Democracy” is one of those terms that is a little slippery, changing in meaning depending on who is speaking and what characteristics they want to attach to it.
Mobs are “democracy”. All forms of socialism ae “democracy”. Almost every tyranny starts out as a “democracy”. Democracy in every one of its forms, ends up decaying beyond all recognition, all in the name of “the people”.
Our system is fine. Trump is President, you are not.
Will this meddlesome, tiresome women ever go away...?
Take another hike in the woods and this time juaaaast get lost, fall into a ravine, off a cliff or something...
Keep talkin b**** when the dust settles people are hoping you’ll be in stripes eventually. But then again, eventually you’ll die and be on the judgement seat for all the sins you’ve committed.
Sounds like, we need a bunch more ways for the Democrats to cheat so even the most hated candidate like Hillary can’t lose...
“Ding dong, the Witch is dead! Which old witch? The Witch is dead! Ding dong the Wicked Witch is dead!
“Wake up, get out of bed, WaPo said, the Witch is dead, ding dong the Wicked Witch is dead....”
“The Democratic leaders go, `Hee Hee Hee!’ `Ho! Ho! Ho!’ `We’re so glad the Wicked Witch is dead!’”
Felonia would do well to STFU.
So let me see if I’ve got this straight... The creature who rigged the democrat primary is claiming that President Trump is a threat to “democracy.”
And she’s also calling for mob rule in the USA, which is what the leftists want, so things fall into shambles, at which time a leftist dictator takes over and liquidates any opposition...
Yup, that’s what Hillary wants.

“Every day is one more day until CW2.”

The American Republic is being systematically and purosefully destroyed by the socialist leftists that lost when hillary last again.
They are not to be trusted in anything they say or do. This applies to Democrat family members , neighbors and church associates
One more day before it begins. One more day without it happening.
We’re a republic on paper.
Nobody granted nine unelected lawyers the power to create laws and rights.
