Why have they only been repealing and attacking and complaining and not working on the plan so it could be implemented on DAY ONE of the new prez administration? A Republican said "they will immediately repeal the plan and then probably sunset it for 5-10 years to give Republicans time to create/implement a suitable plan!" SAY WHAT? They have NOTHING ready at all? NOTHING? ZERO? ZILCH? NADA? Ya gotta be kidding me. What makes them think they will ever have anything? How many decades is it gonna take them? Unless it's all lies and they never had anything. Mebbe. This is where the sh** hits the fan. This is where they have to pay up or shut up! Which do you think they will do? less

Single-handedly flouted the Constitution and got away with it? Now when Dems say they will BLOCK any Trump Scotus nominees and The MASTER HYPOCRITE has the GALL to say "the American people won't stand for it!" Bullsh**! They let him get away with it. So they will let the Dems have their turn at getting away with it. It's only fair. Otherwise it would show massive hypocrisy/partisanship/duplicity. Wouldn't it? Quid pro quo don'tcha know? What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. You look the other way for one you OWE IT to the the other to look away too. Don't you? I know. Two wrongs don't make a right. But there are always exceptions and shoving it down McConnell's throat..giving him back exactly what he gave to Obama is poetry and symmetry and harmony. What is better than getting back what you give? What is fairer or more logical or s... less

A promise to make America great again taunts us. What was promised can never be. It's like promising to bake a wondrous cheesecake and using rotten eggs, spoiled milk, rancid cream cheese, crushed mothballs instead of sugar and poison instead of vanilla extract. The cheesecake you bake is only as good as the ingredients. We will all become very ill and some of us could die because we will be forced to eat it. less

Every dictator despot has such an ability and uses it. These death squads go by different names but they are all the same. The goal is to silence dissidents. How is of no consequence to them.
Having folks cheer for the home team and root for your failure would be really hard to overcome I think although professional athletes get used to it. No one likes being booed.

If you have blind faith in yourself and listen only to those who agree with you how long can you keep the fantasy going?

The NKVD executed more than 750,000 who rallied against Stalin. Will Trump follow suit? He is going to destroy our existing Intelligence Agencies since he believes they are worthless. What's to stop him from replacing them with a US version of the KGB? The better to keep the people in line. Say something nice or shut up. The penalty is death by government. Lovely. Hands across the sea. Wither thou goest I goest. See Putin in the lead and Donald J. follows in his footsteps. Why not? He said he could go out into the street and shoot someone and no one would abandon him. I bet he is anxious to prove that once again he is right. Is he ever wrong? What better way than a government agency to keep people in line OR ELSE? less

He cannot tolerate anyone who criticizes/disagrees with or disapproves of him. Why not get rid of the ones he can't control? Putin got away with it. less
