What happens when citizens elect a totally un-qualified con man to lead them, swallowing the bilge water of a campaign:

multiple un-fully funded disaster relief projects in half a dozen states and PR, political squabbles ranking above citizen relief

a colossal un-manageable illegal immigrant mess at our southern border, with no end in sight

war rumblings with N. Korea, the backwater country of all time, and failing in negotiations with them

war rumbling with Iran, yet again. Now the talk is sending troops....besides the aircraft carrier battle group and planes alread sent

a refusal to work with Democrats until they leave him alone, the petulant argument of all time by an elected leader of all the people

implementing an alleged tax cut for the masses that actually was a gigantic cut for his business buddies and the United Corporations of America, instead

engaging a tariff war with China putting everyone from farmers to retailers at risk of going under

denigrating a US Senator and war hero

hiring a Sec of State, then later labeling him publicly "dumber than a rock"

inability to keep a WH staff, with about two dozen resignations. The rest are under indictment or in jail.

has the whole world laughing at us

has the Canadians worried about us

has the Mexicans hating us

Doesn't believe any of the above constitutes a violation of his oath of office and isn't "high crimes and misdemeanors". Refusing to work with Democrats until they stop investigating him????? I am past fed up with this Moron.

Referring to Art. 2, Sect. 2 of our Constitution, which this egomaniacal dictator swore to uphold:

"He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."

Now, I'm no lawyer, just a fellow Deplorable. It seems to me that having, right now, today, TEN acting heads of Cabinet-level positions/high level govt jobs, with no indication of intent to making any of them permanent, is a direct violation of this Article.

Advise and Consent.....he is afraid his own party won't support his nominations. He is afraid of the questions they will ask of nominees, what they might find, etc. So, as just about every other president has done, he has figured a way around the founding document, by appointing temporary dept. chiefs.

This is NOT what the FF intended, and they put what they did intend, in writing. So what is up with the audaciousness of this president, to be so sly, bold, and crooked, as to think this sleight of hand is proper, or legal?

To me, it's the last straw and I believe he should be told to make the appts permanent, i.e. send the nominations to the Senate as provided by our laws, or he should be impeached.

That simple. And that disgusting. I don't care how much anyone admires this moron. This, is wrong, and illegal.

A minimum of 25 resignations in this administration; at least six indictments; and the investigations continue. 

MAGA: Many Are Getting Arrested.

I thought Jimmy Carter was bad. He simply didn't understand how Washington worked. At least he had governing experience. Thanks to the Electoral College, a minority vote winner took office and it's been chaos ever since.

One can only sincerely hope that the American Deplorables have learned their harsh lesson, in that we do not elect in-experienced persons of any background, to lead us. A polarized Congress is bad enough. A tilted SC is worse. But to be leaderless, to be lied to time and again, to go back and forth on decisions, not to have any set policy on the economy, domestic relations, foreign relations, military goals, is the epitome of ineptness and massive ego.

Finish the wall. That way, people can add to the known total of 230 tunnels that already exist. 

What folly.

 What a miserable excuse for a president, bullying the populace, derisive, derogatory commentary, holding fellow citizens hostage until he gets his way, then caving in and leaving us right back where we were 5 weeks ago. He can deliver his state of the union address from his kitchen for all I care.

The American electorate knows exactly what the status of our nation is: chaotic, frozen Congressionally, and leaderless.

I FOUND THIS ON A FRIEND'S FB PAGE, WRITTEN BY A GUY THAT IS TRULY FED UP....MUCH LIKE A LOT OF US.
IT'S A GOOD READ.

I'm nearly 69. I've worked hard since I was 17. I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because their "holy" book and Shari'a law tells them to.

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand , UK, America and Canada , while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.

I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's be-deck them selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves unemployable and claiming money from the Government.

Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 69. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my grandchildren and their children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.

There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
" I'm 69 and I'm tired. If you do not forward this you are part of the problem".

All we heard for months without end, is that Trump was going to have Mexico pay for the wall. His supporters went nuts.

Now, this same Trump is glorifying in the attention of his own massive ego, in demanding $5B that Congress (you and me) don't have and isn't about to give him, for this same wall, or he will shut down a govt that, quite frankly, isn't getting much of anything accomplished at the moment anyway.

How does this work, exactly? The same farmers that put him in office, are now suffering due to his trade tariffs and non-knowledge of international economics and global trade.

More jobs were promised, bringing manufacturing back to America. Then, five car plants closed, the tariffs he imposed forced the steel industry to raise prices which slowed production which rippled into businesses nationwide.

Dozens of his appointees have resigned. Five have been convicted. The only business being conducted in Wash. are investigations.

We thought Nixon's administration was slimy and crooked and under-handed. This administration seems far worse on the surface. Promises made not kept, statements made then flip-flopped. Three chiefs of staff in two years. At least two attorneys general. The list goes on.

Near as I can tell, the only citizens to benefit from two years of Trump, are MAGA hat sellers, and every corporation that got a permanent tax cut, as opposed to the rest of us who got a temp. tax cut that btw, will add $1T to our already staggering national debt.

A non-Congress declared war in Afghanistan enters its 18th years with no end in sight, with our own Army about to prosecute one of its own for killing the enemy.

Anyone else confused?

On this sad day 77 years ago, we were attacked. The next day FDR convinced Congress to declare war on Japan. Three days later, on Germany, and Italy, and, six months later, on Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania, for technical reasons.

Since then, the eleventh and last time Congress declared war, we have sent men and women to war 34 times. How, is this possible? Uphold the Constitution, my ass. More like, how do we, Congress, President, Mil. Indust. Complex, get around the Constitution.

34 Times. 34.

You might want to ask your Congressional rep a few questions. Almost none of these threatened the security of the United States. Many were to depose leaders we simply didn't like. Several have no end in sight, so teach your children to shoot straight. Their skills clearly will be needed.

Where's the United Nations when we need them?

Eisenhower was right. Beware the Military Industrial Complex.

It's why your roads and bridges are crumbling and outdated; your schools are poorly equipped and your teachers poorly paid; your national electrical grid outdated; your transportation systems totally inadequate; your water quality poor, and getting worse; your national healthcare system an international disgrace; why 40m Americans go to bed hungry every night, including about 11m children. In America.

But we have money, endless supplies of money, for the M.I.C. No president since JFK has stood up to The System.

Hell, we can't get 60% of us, to go to the polls and vote. We must like things just the way they are, and the heck with the Pursuit of Happiness.

Our government went to bed with corporate America during WW II and never left. Eisenhower's departure speech in '61 warned us of letting the M.I.C. take over. He was proven right. I have no idea how to get Congress's hands out of the corporate trough, and vice versa. I know that the Deplorables are being ignored, have been for decades. Our laws and founding documents have been been twisted, adjusted, denied, to the point where the FF would not recognize that which they created. Only Congress can declare war, yet the last time they did so, was Dec 8, 1941. Can someone please explain all the wars we have fought since, all over the globe, feeding our national war machine? Guatemala, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Korea, Lebanon, Iraq, Kuwait, Panama, Afghanistan, and too many African countries to name? None of these conflicts are legal, by our own Constitution, yet we fund them to the tune of billions and the blood of our sons and daughters, for decades. Money, and people, that could have been utilized to improve our Pursuit of Happiness, also in the Const., here at home. Instead, we raise money every few years for yet another monument to our Fallen, in Washington. Town squares nationwide are full of such memorials. Ridiculous and un-justified. Our national defense budget dwarfs every nation on earth, yet we send 40m of our own to bed hungry every night. Our national electrical grid dates to the 1930s, our national highway system to ther 1950s, our air traffic control system to the 1970s. Our passenger trains mostly stopped running in the 1960s. Amtrak is a East coast-focused bottomless pit into which taxpayers have zero choice but to pour in billions. They have yet to turn a profit since 1970. "Since its foundation in 1970, the company has never generated a profit. Government subsidies to the tune of $46 billion have kept the company afloat since 1970." What population allows such tax dollar waste? Well, we do. We used to have dozens of airline company choices, retail choices, medical choices. Today we are at the mercy of a tiny handful of each, who do and charge whatever they want, despite the supposed existence of some anti-trust laws. Helluva country to leave to our children and grandchildren. We don't care, either. How long has it been since 60-65% of us voted in a national election? Try 1960-1968. Nothing close, since. I'm not bitter so much as I am disappointed in how we have turned out as a nation. Our 1963 coup d'etat turned this country in an entirely different direction, one we don't seem able nor, more importantly, willing to change. But, this is just me after two cups of morning coffee.
