I remember a comment i,ve heard many times brfore TSF came along. It was if we have a IDIOT for a president

Someone would save us. Not allow them to do something that would destroy our country. Well i believe that just happened, and NOBODY is gonna save us. We,ll see, i guess.

THIS president is going closer to END OF TIMES STUPID decisions that are just what his religious base dream of. This president is not even close to a religious person. I feel THIS is lots different from previous presidents. He is the one we really really need a savior to stop him.

The president doesn't have anyone above him to control his actions in real time - and until Trump, for the most part, no one needed parental controls. The only controls are the relatively slow congressional and judicial processes.

Not sure, aside from a crappy knowledge of civics, why anyone ever believed otherwise.

An idiot president, an idiot vice president a bunch of idiots in congress and more in the supreme court..We don't stand a chance against that combination............They all are willing to trash our country for their own gain.

On edit: I forgot to include the justice department. As corrupt a combination as anything I have ever seen.

No one stepped in then when it was much safer to do so. No one will intervene to save us now. We were raised with a lot of lies about our country.
