Rachel Maddow is the first major media television host who I have heard report: TRUMP IS A DICTATOR and we are living in his dictatorship! It’s true and it’s going to get worse. Americans appear very confused about our government. Otherwise Trump would’ve never been elected. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

If this is not an impeachable abuse of power by Trump et al the Constitution is meaningless! www.justsecurity.org/146665/court...

It is striking how Republicans are more interested in cultural issues than economic issues. They’d rather go broke than allow transgenders to exist, or God forbid participate in sports of the opposite sex. They also love conspiracy theories of any sort. Pathetic.

Who are the players in Trump’s “radical brain trust?” Clearly, Trump has neither the ability or knowledge to come up with effort after effort to fix the mid-term elections, not to mention other law breaking efforts. Who and where are all these devious efforts being created to put on Trump’s desk?

Vance dismisses Watergate scandal, says ‘deep state’ went after Nixon - The Washington Post. Vance seems remarkably ignorant of history. Republicans ended Nixon’s presidency and they have never before been called the “deep state.”

It’s here. Barbara McQuade was the first person I heard refer to Trump’s running the government like a mafia boss. She truly knows because she’s prosecuted a lot of of them. When I learned she was writing a book I could only wait. Now that it’s in my hands, it will be devoured quickly. More soon.
