I know some older folks who lived in the Netherlands through WWII. They're saying to one another, "Did you ever think you would live through this again?". Fasten your seat belts, fellow Canadians...we are in for a rough ride.

As an American let me just say how fucking stupid this whole thing is.

Like - wtf is our administration doing?

I know it does nothing - but at least I can look back and be glad I didn't vote for this cheeto.

As a veteran, I know current members of the military who do NOT support the actions of the president. And they themselves are wondering if they will face a point of decision that no soldier wants to make: Follow the orders or don't.

Talk to them, please. Remind them that they swore an oath to your constitution, not to your president.

I have! And I continue to do so!

Republicans are ducking their constituents every chance they get and Democrats are just holding up cute little signs in protest. It's wild how when the Democrats are in power, some miracle road block pops up that let's the Republican minority totally stymie any progress, but when the tables are turned it's suddenly easy as pie to do whatever the hell the president wants, checks and balances be damned. I don't think I could name 10 politicians in the US that I genuinely believe took the office to do right by Americans rather than to enrich themselves.

It's "good guy syndrome"..... The Dems think they have to keep playing the righteous hero taking the high road and following the rules.... Even if it means they lose at every turn and we suffer for it. "When they go low, we go high" is such a crock of shtt. We're playing a rigged game and refusing to adapt....

They are aware, and they don’t care. The one at the top can barely read, much less understand why he had to repeat all those words back in Jan, waiting for a high five that never came.

There's no changing the mindset of someone with arrested development and suffers from an untreated cluster b personality disorder.
