The America We Thought We Knew Is Gone

[Lakhota]

Hillary Clinton supporters react to early poll results on election night at the Javits Center in New York on Nov. 8, 2016.

Because countries are not people, it’s tricky to translate whatever “loving one’s country” means—it’s quite abstract—into the language of heartbreak. It sounds melodramatic. What can heartbreak mean as a civic matter? And yet it is what I feel.

A corrupt but weak president—this has been my comfort, his weakness—has been given a gift that will make him strong. After upholding the travel ban, weakening labor unions, and allowing crisis pregnancy centers to misrepresent themselves to women seeking help, Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he was retiring before the midterm elections. That decision empowers a reality-television star who lost the popular vote by millions to reform the Supreme Court for at least a generation—a court that rather than rebut his claim to power has affirmed it. In his own branch, he asked James Comey for a loyalty oath and lamented not getting one from Jeff Sessions, whom he has repeatedly condemned for recusing himself in the Russia investigation, saying he never would have hired him as attorney general had he known. There is every reason to think he will do the same for a Supreme Court nominee. When Neil Gorsuch—who took the seat Mitch McConnell withheld from Merrick Garland—seemed to distance himself from the man who offered him the robes, Donald Trump reportedly considered pulling the nomination. Trump has said he will pardon himself if he needs to, a controversial stance that would likely need approval from the high court. Now he has been given a way to assure it. He holds the power over the person who can rubber-stamp him into invulnerability.

The capitulation of two branches of government to a terrifying third, elected by a minority, is not how our government was envisioned. That is frightening. It is also, depending on the America you want to live in, painful.

Sad, painful, and stressful. This damage will last for decades - maybe generations. This article is worth reading in its entirety. What do you think?

You can thank God for this, he’s had enough, I think it was the 3rd bathroom you wanted, that’s probably it...

This article is a fallacy.

America was envisioned exactly this way. A majority of people in a majority of states voted for Donald Trump.

You people really need help.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The America of democrats should be gone. It should be crushed to dust and that dust swept away.

 

[BertramN]

The idiot trump's mindless minions do not really care whether the cheeto-in-chief accomplishes anything truly positive for the nation as a whole. While giving the fat cats massive tax cuts pleases the conservatives, and forcing women to bear children with severe birth defects gives them joy, what these people see as best about the idiot trump's disastrous policies and actions, those policies and actions go against every progressive attempt to bring fairness and justice to average Americans.

That is "winning" to the idiot trump's mindless minions, even when they lose their jobs, their life savings, and inevitably, their homes. The economic crash that is coming will make the Great Depression look like the good old days. And, who will conservatives blame? Who else, President Obama and the congressional minority Democrats.

[Pilot1]

We have finally started to reverse the Obama years. Thankfully.

We are making America great again.

We are going to control our borders.

The illegal spics are gonna be kicked out.

The Spooks have to get a job.

Zero was a blight on America...The Donald is the Cure.

"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

He is trampling out the vintage where the Grapes of Wrath are stored.

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword

His truth is marching on...

(Everybody join in the chorus)

Glory, Glory Hallelujah...
Glory, Glory Hallelujah...
Glory, Glory Hallelujah
His truth is marching on.

The America We Thought We Knew Is Gone

Isn't it funny -- -- -- -- a world that was never there in the first place thought gone by a group of kids too young to know what the world is really about yet.

 

[skye]

If there is no religion

no family

no tradition

no Christianity

yes the America we thought we knew is gone

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Not really....just allowed to happen in states where they are the majority.

No more using SCOTUS to shove their moral system down people's throats.

C'mon Trump Joe Apaio for SCOTUS !!!!
