Be afraid, be very afraid for our country.
@FireMonkey OK, so Russia and Egypt I kinda get. But aren't Saudi Arabia, UAE, Hungary, and Israel already our allies?? ESPECIALLY Israel?!? So, why the fuck are ALL they messing with our electoral system & trying to put this shitty leader in place? Especially one that is Anti-Semitic or at the very least a white nationalist? Aren't we Israel's big ally in the Middle East? I don't understand all the interests of these countries that they would *want* Trump in place??
I think it's important to separate out the totality of those countries from the people who're currently in power in each.
Everyone of those countries is led by undemocratic nationalistic authoritarians with designs on lifetime rule and vast self-enrichment.
Personally, I think Putin is at the heart of it. Propping up populist after strongman populist with promise of reward from his vast wealth and power over Russia's energy industry.
@TheAbbotTrithemius @FireMonkey I hate all of this. I wish we could just take him out behind the White House & shoot him & put him out of our misery.... like an old, sick- well, not a dog, because I wouldn't even do that to a dog, but some other, really disgusting animal. A Komodo dragon. Ugh... I was watching Planet Earth 2 tonight. Komodo dragons? Super gross!!
Komodo dragons are quite noble creatures. Please don't degrade them by comparing them to the repulsive twatwaffle in the White House.
@TheAbbotTrithemius @FireMonkey Planet Earth 2 on Netflix does *NOT* make them look noble... AT ALL! It makes them look slobbery, gross, and disgusting. A fly lands on one's face, tries to fly away and almost can't because it gets stuck in face slobber. It has to exceed the surface tension of the string of slobber as it labors to fly away from the Komodo Dargon's face... and just barely succeeds!! SUPER GROSS!
I was trying to eat, man!!
It's relative. There's no doubt in my mind that the heart and soul of a scheming and emotionally damaged pathologically malignant narcissist like Donnie, makes the disgusting sticky face of a Komodo dragon appear to be a thing of health and nobility by comparison.
@TheAbbotTrithemius @FireMonkey I just want him out of office. Kids are dying in border patrol custody on Christmas, for God's sake.
How does any American *not* look like a fat man before the eye of a needle now? Hell, maybe it's the time of year, or the years of Southern Baptist hellfire & brimstone beat into my head, but if the Good Lord were to return tomorrow what could any of us say? We were waiting for Mueller? We called our Congresspeople? We voted? We marched? I couldn't look God in->
@FireMonkey @TheAbbotTrithemius -> the eye and say any of that. It's all true, of course. But I'd feel ashamed of myself. He/She would say I could've done more. He/She would say I SHOULD have done more. I have no idea what, but I know God would, because deep down I feel like I SHOULD.
There *has* to be more we could ALL be doing to get rid of that SOB. There just *has* to be. We can't keep letting kids die in custody. We can't keep letting them destroy our country. We just can't. I joke ->
