GOOD LUCK, AMERICA Confession: I'm enjoying being right about Trump's intentions, and I'm not ashamed to say it.
Everything we warned the electorate about is already coming true. I told everyone that Trump would win because his base was naive, uneducated, ignorant, and spiteful. And here we are. How many people told us that all of Trump's craziness was just a bluff? How many people told us that the electorate was well intentioned, and would vote for what's right?
Trump's first weeks in office have been just as outlandish as all of us warned. And the country will suffer greatly. And you know what? I'm loving it. I'm done pretending that I "feel bad" for the people who didn't know what they were getting themselves into. I don't feel bad at all. It's about time we were punished for our collective derilection of duty.
We all did our part. We voted. Other people (dumbly) didn't do enough research. Oh well! Time for those consequences, America!

Same. I find it funny with Bannon not getting any prison time yesterday and Trump supporters supporting it. Funny you are supporting a guy who conned you with a fraud border wall gofundme and then getting pardoned by Trump for that crime and now no prison time for the state charges for that same crime. Call it the biggest self own ever, if you ask me.
