George Washington wouldn't stand still for being crowned the king of the newly formed USA. I'm hoping we get past this chump trying to be king.

we ll get past him, but he's busy doing damage that will take a long time to turn around. his supreme cout has messed up the voting rights act pretty seriously, by asserting that redistricting gerrymanders are fine unless the say something explicit like "keep the darkies in their place .. ."

it used to be that gerrymanders could be overruled if they resulted in actual racial restrictions, even if the ostensible justification was political. now that has been removed, so restricting people by race is fine as long as you dont say so, which is what our conservatives are busy doing in the south. we re busy re-definng american democracy to be actually more undemocratic than its ever been in my lifetime.

the hollowing out of the state department and the department of justice are pretty bad too. we no longer have the diplomatic corps that used to administer our foreign relations overseas. and the justice department now is so messed up that they cannot even present cases in their own favour in a competent manner. lots of other agencies are in the same boat.

trump is going to go down in near history for the problem he is, but the really biggest issue is that we electted him. he is th epresident america wanted, and his administration is working as designed. the rich are getting very much richer, and the rest of us are stagnating.

thats the big issue. america is going down the plug hole, and half the country votes to keep it that way.
