Look at all the military T is putting in his cabinet. And then there's weakening, if not downright eliminating, the EPA.

It's not that I didn't believe assholes don't really exist or couldn't possibly run for president. It's the mind-boggling fact that there are apparently enough people in this country so .... fearful? hateful? living in an alternate reality? ... to elect the sexist, racist, sex offender conman child-man, that has left my faith in humanity hanging by a thread. These so-called Christians can certainly claim no moral high ground going forward.<br /><br />And the man was right -- he could have shot an innocent person on the street and his base would still have supported him. I work with and am related to some of these people and was feeling pretty devastated and angry a week ago. Now I'm starting to rally and feeling a little more philosophical about it all. But the chasm between us could not feel any wider and deeper. On the upside, Hillary Clinton taught the knuckle-draggers a new word: Deplorable. They're all using it now. So they can learn.<br /><br />Thanks for passing on the safety idea. I'll be wearing one as well.

I'll go and find one as soon as I have written this.<br />I read a few blogs from around the world, not many, but in all cases I have got the same message.... Trump isn't what the majority of sensible people in USA want as a chief. Just one comment was from a Trump supporter, and it just didn't make sense to me. Do you think Trump will last the whole 4 years? Only 2 years to go and this whole election shenanigan starts up again......
