In 9 months Trump destroyed our leadership of the free world, brought fascism to America, caused several constitutional crisis and broken dozens of laws.

He has destroyed our international reputation. Allies do NOT respect or trust him.

Also, Americans are 20% poorer due to Trump’s polices. He is using tariffs and the office of POTUS as tools to enrich himself at the expense of ALL Americans as well as every other single person on this planet. Bet “are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?” won’t be a big part of the next Republican presidential campaign...

When are people going to wake up and get rid of this guy?

Are there ANY Republicans out there with a spine and backbone ready to STAND UP to Trump and say NO MORE? 🤔

People will not learn their lessons when supporting this guy. They were sold a promise Trump can't deliver. He can unleash anger like no president before him, but that is it. So we have a crazy white male running (and ruining) the country 🤦‍♀️

Just got this t-shirt which reads "We the People" are PISSED OFF! 👇

That's how I feel now. This pissed off feeling that doesn't go away is what's going to power "We The People" to save our democracy.

We have seen ENOUGH!

47 isn’t the problem

He is a symptom of decades of Republicans unchecked corruption

Please 🙏

America NEVER forget who is responsible for this shit show!

IT IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT OPENED THE DOOR AND WELCOMED A MENTALLY ILL NARCISSISTIC PATHOLOGICAL LYING FELON INTO THE WH

FOR A DECADE EVERY REPUBLICAN HAS LIED VIOLATED THEIR OATHS MISUSE OF THEIR POWER

COMPLICIT OR PARTICIPANTS IN AN INSURRECTION AND NOW TREASON

PHYSICALLY REMOVE EVERY MOFOing REPUBLICAN ASAP

REMOVING THE SYMPTOM (47 & his Nazi Regime) and leaving the DISEASE (corrupt Republican Party) is a fools errand

REPUBLICANS ARE THE

PROBLEM TO BE REMOVED

FULL STOP

Get rid of GOP and we’re done with THEIR violent domestic terrorists organization

Big yes to this about the unconscionable Republicans. There have been occasional madmen through history, where we're getting psychological evaluations now about how diseased ours is, but omg all those Republicans without conscience. The explanation that makes sense to me is what a spiritual teacher of "the wisdom" pointed out, where the consciousness that is arising influences every other branch of what runs us, like business and education and health care, but the last place to find people who deal with dawning awareness is politics. It's so dirty that people wanting to see into the human condition avoid it, and people who think about money but not about love run the world.

Very well said! When I start hearing Trump talk about Democrats as vermin, Nazi Germany is on the tip of my mind! Immigrant detainees are disappearing, the press is being silenced, the enemy within isn't Jews this time, it's the brown menace and the political opposition! The parallels between the late 1930s Germany and now are incredible. Everything this administration is doing is a page out of Mein Kampf. Are there no Republicans left with a backbone??? I have said it before: wake up everybody, we are losing our democracy right now! What will the next nine months bring - more of the same only in spades. NO ONE is stopping this train wreck!!! Where are the McCain's of this world? He'd be speaking out!

Dear Sen. Schiff,

Could you PLEASE do a follow-up video (to be promoted by Colbert & Kimmel) explaining what "extortion" is and showing how Trump & GOP are extorting the Dems -- in this instance, threatening to hurt others if we don't do what they demand. And everyone knows that you can't give in to that, or else you'll never be free because they'll keep demanding more. If you put it in those terms, their BS will be plain for all to see.

Maybe DeNiro would be willing to help by playing the Mafioso part ... again ...

You have to make them fear the worst choice. There is a bad choice and a worst choice - they must be made to see which will be the worst. Then they'll change.

You think that's herr doing? It's subterfuge by Putin and his republican followers. Try following someone more than Adam Kinzinger. You should, in these times stop being so measured. You're right now, luke warm.

Why don't you try to contact Rob Reiner and Ken Burns and see if they would produce a Hollywood Grade program to be aired on YouTube. That would rankle MacCankles, don't you think?

Obviously you are correct about your members across the aisle. But I see nothing but a bunch of power drunk, cowardly people sitting there. I have lost all faith and all respect in the other side for allowing this lawlessness to continue.
