DEMOCRATS: THIS IS WHAT INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL COWARDICE GETS YOU!! TIME TO COME UP WITH MORE EXCUSES FOR ALLOWING TRUMP TO STEAL THE PRESIDENCY.

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN THE OPPOSITION DOES NOTHING TO STOP AN ILLEGAL TAKE OVER OF POWER: EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATIVE, AND JUDICIAL. THIS VILE AND CONTEMPTIBLE HUMAN BEING, WITH HIS CORRUPT CRONIES, HOLD POWER FOR ONE REASON: THE LEADERSHIP OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, STATE AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND THE NATIONAL MEDIA ALLOWED THE 2016  PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULTS TO STAND, DESPITE DIRECT EVIDENCE THAT RETURNS IN AT LEAST 6 STATES WERE BOGUS. I HAVE COVERED THIS EXTENSIVELY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, AND THE WORLD, NOT JUST THE U.S., SUFFERS DAILY BECAUSE AN AMORAL AND INCOMPETENT DEGENERATE OCCUPIES THE WHITE HOUSE. 

DAVID MCDONALD- PUBLISHER.

THIS EXCERPT WAS TAKEN FROM AN YAHOO NEWS ARTICLE BY HUNTER WALKER.

During an appearance in the Oval Office on Thursday afternoon President Trump excoriated the administration of President Barack Obama as “human scum” who attempted to undermine him by “targeting” former national security adviser Michael Flynn. 

Trump made his comments after a reporter asked about the Justice Department’s announcement earlier today that it is dropping its criminal case against Flynn. The president also railed against the media and argued “the Pulitzer Prizes should all be returned.” 

“He was an innocent man. He is a great gentleman. He was targeted by the Obama administration and he was targeted in order to try and take down a president,” Trump said of Flynn, who was facing prison time after pleading guilty more than two years ago on charges related to special counsel Robert Mueller Russia investigation.

WHAT A PROUD MOMENT IN U.S. HISTORY. THE "CHECKS AND BALANCES" SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WORK IF NO ONE USES IT.

DONALD TRUMPS AMERICA: MY WAY, OR ELSE. PART 1. (DATE: AUGUST,3, 2017)

As the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES ITS MARCH TO THE ABYSS, PROGRESSIVES, LIBERALS AND OTHER GROUPS THAT HAVE OPPOSED HIM FROM THE BEGINNING MUST REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING:

HE ATTAINED THE OVAL OFFICE THROUGH A SHAM ELECTION, WHERE THE RESULTS WERE INITIALLY ACCEPTED BY THE VAST MAJORITY OF LAWMAKERS AND POLITICIANS WITHOUT ANY SCRUTINY.

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE DONALD TRUMPS ABILITY TO USE WHATEVER MEANS IS NECESSARY TO ADVANCE THE AGENDA OF THOSE WHO HELPED HIM ATTAIN POWER. HIS DECISION TO BAR OR REMOVE TRANSGENDER AMERICANS FROM THE MILITARY IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE, FOR IT ACCOMPLISHED TWO THINGS;


1)  IT GAVE THE FAR RIGHT A "TENTATIVE VICTORY" THAT IT COULD POINT TO AS PROOF THAT THEY WERE STILL A FORCE THAT COULD MOLD PUBLIC POLICY.

and...

2)  DONALD TRUMP RE-AFFIRMED, TO THE FAR RIGHT, THAT HE WAS STILL THEIR CHAMPION. THIS MEANS THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO ABANDON THE IDEOLOGY THAT THEY BELIEVE ALL AMERICANS SHOULD BE FORCED TO CONFORM TO.


That being said, what can be done to stop DONALD TRUMP, AND HIS SUPPORTERS FROM DRAGGING THE U.S. AND ITS ALLIES INTO A HATE FILLED "HOLY WAR", WHERE DISAGREEING WITH, OR OPPOSING DONALD TRUMP IS MET WITH A TEMPER TANTRUM, AND FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO SUBVERT CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.

A good place to start is to acknowledge the following:  That the Agenda of the FAR RIGHT FANATIC is to turn the U.S. into an OLIGARCHY, WHERE POLITICAL POWER RESTS IN THE HANDS OF A CHOSEN FEW.

However, BEING OPEN ABOUT SUCH A GOAL WOULD NOT PLAY WITH THE AVERAGE VOTER, SO MORE SUBTLE FORMS OF PERSUASION MUST BE USED TO DECEIVE AND MISLEAD.

ONE EXAMPLE IS THE CONTROVERSY ABOUT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. SINCE THE SENATE FAILED TO OVERTURN THE LAW, DONALD TRUMP IS CONSIDERING MORE INSIDIOUS WAYS TO GET THE LAW REMOVED.  HERE IS AN EXAMPLE;

CAUSING FAILURE BY SABOTAGE, AND NOT ALLOWING 
THE LAW TO SUCCEED OR FAIL ON ITS OWN MERITS.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:  

THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN... 

...THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT FAILING TO ACHIEVE SPECIFIC GOALS...

...AND...

...THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT BEING PREVENTED FROM ACHIEVING SPECIFIC GOALS.

OR

THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN...

...THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT NOT BEING STRUCTURED
PROPERLY, WHERE DEFICIENCIES CANNOT BE ADDRESSED AND CHANGED...

...AND...

...IGNORING THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST IN LAW TO CORRECT DEFICIENCIES.
