History repeats itself.

One would hope that our system of checks and balances would preclude hugely negative consequences. OTOH, the GOP Congress has already showed a willingness to discard any principles they may have had (precious few) and roll over for their Trumpenfuhrer.

The situation is scary, Pat.

Yep, checks and balances gone, no way to stop a facists being put on the Supreme Court. Bill Moyer's Morning Read post does not paint a pretty picture.

It's what history does.

Only if you do not learn from it.
Of course we have places here in the USA like in Texas where they re-wright the truth out of their textbooks for public schools.

I'm not surprised by how seemingly easy the new normal has taken hold. Americans like talking tough but are basically lazy.

I fear that none of these mentally deficient Trump balls crawlers in this forum have the foggiest idea what dramatic global damage they will have triggered by voting for him.

Lord help us!

A person elected who does not handle being told NO very well. One who has shown only thinks of himself not others. Yes a recipe for disaster for sure!



Barney

What dramatic global damage you envisage?
