    You elected an imbecile, twice.

    That says so much more about the American voters than it will ever about Trump or anyone in his admin.

      “Now, there’s one thing you might have noticed I don’t complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders." -George Carlin

      We elected the imbecile, impeached him, witnessed his commission of countless crimes, then gave him immunity, then elected him even harder.

      If the rest of the world doesn’t learn from our example I’m gonna be very disappointed. Your government needs real checks and balances, actual power in the hands of citizens rather than billionaires.

        For real. We (USA) thought we did. We don’t.
